It's still on the helmet, just smaller. It's near the ear hole.

Uniform and helmet design are almost entirely the head coach's decision.

What a mess of stickers. It looks like a 5th grader's art project.
Why not go back to Kurt Osaki if it needed a refresh? If he's good enough for NFL teams to hire, it's a coup for UH to get any of his talent.

It being so small, I wish they wouldn't have it. Can hardly tell what it is. One good thing is that they're just stickers so next year they can change it again.

Just don’t put IMUA on the back of everyone’s jersey and play war music as we advance the ball 1.5 yards per play.

The picture provided looks very busy. The biggest change is the feathers down the middle. All the smaller triangular feather decals are awards to be earned throughout the season. Much like Ohio state kine, but in warrior feather theme. Yes, it does make it look very busy. If they get awarded for TDS scored, I hope the helmets of our offense is littered with feathers.

I don't hate it. The islands are still on the side...what you talking 'bout anykine? If you're recalling Kiss...you're a bit dated. Okay, I remember that one too. I'm not so sure that concept had much to do with graphic design though. The Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had some of the worst graphic designs back in the day. These designs are funky. I think they still represent. Maybe a bit too hip hop for some? We'll see. Not bad.

Ditto this. And the other post too. Sometimes less is more.
