The Dietzel bird is time honored. Been there since the mid-60s. It can't go anywhere. Block C + Dietzel bird has been on the helmet since '75. Leave it be.
Since we had been playing almost as poorly as the last team that wore that helmet, Fat Bradstard's 1998 squad, I was okay with it. However, as with our normal helmet, the stripes don't match the jerseys or pants.
Garnet is the way to go. I would like to see us drop the white circle from behind the block C logo, though. Make it look like the 2004 black helmet, just change the black to garnet.
