See helmet on khon2 website. http://khon2.com/category/sports/

Someone tell me how to add photos on the forum and I will.

Anyway, not the whimpy white nor the special unique blackish green helmet from the JJ era, nor the the dark hunter green most of us love, but the plain Kelly green like the rest of the current uniform most of us don't like. Hunter green, black, white with a little gray. Come on Rollo, like what you used to wear. Those unis were mean and serious, todays unis do not reflect this attitude. Kelly or plain green is too nice looking and nice is not what to reflect in your competitive sports. Darker then Forrest green and we should rename it Jungle Green (more appropriate to Hawai'i). A dark jungle is scary.

Now I got it to work. Thanks KHON2.

It maybe the photograph and the green could be darker than it appears because it is darker than the green turf behind. We will all see shortly in person.

nice helmets. it slightly bothers me that the color doesn't completely match, looks like the difference between pantone 3435 C (coated) and 3435 U (uncoated). a matte black (murdered out) helmet would have been killer going the matte route, but the green is fine and you won't find many teams with helmets like it.

I think it looks pretty cool but I wish the "H" logo was a little bigger. :footballhelmet:

my first choice, black helmets, second, dark green. This ones okay, but if the H logo was black it would look better, it would match the black facemask, and black shark tooth center stripe, imo. The unis I hope one day will be the all black that Rolo wore during his days, those were mean and menacing looking.

Anyone know if they will wear the new green domes only for home games?

^^^Yeah, the white ones look just fine with the white jerseys. The new greens would look okay, too, but white is better IMO. Cleaner look.

What happened to these helmets? We're they only for the 2017 year or will they wear it for special games?

As much as I really loved the ole UH rainbow logo from the 1980s and 90s, I really like the new Hawaii islands outline logo currently on the helmets. Very unique.

i believe last year's helmets were these matte green ones (didn't like that color) re-coated with the new color.
