Re: Na Koa Reaches Fundraising Goal for New Helmets
Already confirmed with two people in the know that Osaki was not involved with the new helmet design.
Re: Na Koa Reaches Fundraising Goal for New Helmets
Wonder why Osaki is expending so much time and effort on helmet designs if they are not involved? Wishful thinking? Maybe they want to get into the motorcycle helmet business with a UH athletics connection/licensing?

free advertising/self-promotion. potentially tacky with the timing, but people gotta make a living.BigWave96744 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 06, 2017 9:59 pmYes, I wonder too... I mean updating their instagram in the past few weeks... Hmmm?
the black is nicer, like the tapa pattern in the back, but not a fan of the mohawk thing up top (it's very pronounced in their third green design). like the concept of the ikaika helmet on the visor (if that was what they were going for), but not the implementation. I'm thinking a sharp vector version of those exaggerated ones from posters/t-shirts prominent in the 80s-90s could be really cool.

Re: Na Koa Reaches Fundraising Goal for New Helmets
Osaki Creative Group has a long list of clients.
Re: Na Koa Reaches Fundraising Goal for New Helmets
That's why I don't get why they would be posting concept art so much
Re: Na Koa Reaches Fundraising Goal for New Helmets
Maybe those are concepts they submitted, but were not chosen. Could be a indication of the direction the design that was used is like.
Edited to include: At any rate, we'll see the new one on Sunday.

I'm not blown away by them, but they aren't bad. They look decent.

Re: New Helmets To Be Revealed Tonight
The helmets look good although I prefer the gloss look over the matte style. Now we gotta change our uniforms...I can't stand those gray pants!
