I've been a fan since the 70's and all you other "don't mess with history" traditionalist say what you want...I REALLY LIKE these helmets and hope to see them on the fields. The current helmets are like pleated khakis with cuffs...conservative, traditional and still look good to the older crowd. But they could use this update to more appeal to the younger crowd (recruits). I VOTE YES!!!

I really don't believe it has anything to do with age as it does with just people's different tastes. I'm 21 years old and myself as well as all my friends like the fact that Clemson hasn't changed the uniforms or helmets. Being traditional is something we should take pride in. Alabama continues to recruit top recruits every year and hell, they don't even have a logo on their helmets. Why should we change our's? We don't need a chrome helmet to make people want to come here. Clemson is class. Clemson is not a follower. Clemson is tradition and honor. GO TIGERS

recognizable in all of college football. I wouldn't mess with it too much. I guess I could live with a chrome on orange, maybe once a year, but don't get too crazy. I personally think Oregon's habit of wearing a different outlandish uniform every game is nothing but tacky.

chrome helmets. I personally don't think they look very good. But I especially don't like them for teams that have classic iconic helmets like ours (Michigan, SoCal, Bama, Penn State, etc.) We have established a strong brand in the white paw on the orange helmet.
Programs that are the real deal don't have to rely on trendy changes to uniforms to compete in recruiting. We are CLEMSON. We don't need to be trendy.
I vote No.

First post, but have to start somewhere.
I was surfing around the internets and found this helmet on an instagram page for a company called "Green Gridiron" that create custom helmets.
It is a one-of-a-kind to be auctioned off. This is the same helmet we see in the picture. The company mentions in the post that the helmet was sent to The Valley.

Man, I may be the only one thinking this, but the ND game is shaping up to be very similar to the FSU game of 2013, and that worries me. I hope we go classic solid orange on solid orange, no shiny ####. If we wear the chrome this year, I hope it is game #12 when we embarass the chickens in Wilma B.

Reminds me that at Clemson the PAW is all that matters. I like every conceptual design I have seen on here (save for the black one , its hideous) and I think it would be nice to see them once in a blue moon. Traditional about 10-11 games a year and then maybe bowl or playoff or dirtpeckers or some such for the eye candy helmets.

Make it happen Dabo!!! These are sweet. I understand people want to stick with tradition but this is very appealing to the younger crowd. In order to compete with other schools you have to make changes sometimes.

Leave this kind of stuff to Miami , Syracuse, Louisville.... etc.
The Paw on our current uniforms will speak for itself and it will speak volumes about our program. Nothing too flashy needs to be done at all.
Some new pants to wear every now and then would be nice though.

Tommy bowden had our team focusing on uniform colors and combinations instead of the actual game...seems like mediocracy was standard in those days.

How bout we leave the Clemson uniform alone and continue to focus on the steady improvement of the Clemson football team!!!! Go Tigers
