Please never wear white helmets again.

Better yet, let's just wear Garnet helmets only going forward. No more White helmets and definitely no more Black helmets too.
The white "George Rogers" look is my favorite.
You fondly remember the Woods & Bradstard eras, huh?
Nothing wrong with any of our helmets.
I'm fine with any of the three colors, as long as they don't have the script "Carolina" on them.
I say let's go with some type of chrome helmet.... Just because it's never been done before.... Nothing else that "should be" is happening in all of CF right now, so let's just go chrome... Maybe garnet chrome?
At this point, who cares?

Historically most of Carolina’s best moments occurred in the white helmets.
I like the middle stripes from the Rogers era paired with the Gamecock on the side from the Dietzel era. Probably one of the very few things I liked about Dietzel.
White, Black or Garnet…And I remember the Military Look!
What’s wrong with whatever we put on? It’s the Coaching and Willingness for the Players to Win no Matter what!

The best moments from the Spurrier era were in white helmets, but that's because they didn't have garnet or black then.
Some of the best moments prior to that were in garnet or black.
1984 didn't utilize white helmets. Neither did the 1987 or 1992 Clemson games.
'92 clem game?! What's so great about that, other than it snapped a 4-year losing streak?
I don't get too worked up about our attire though I do prefer garnet and black in any mix. That said, Spurrier always preferred the white helmets and had success with them (not that there was a correlation).
I consider the George Roger/Carlen years and the Spurrier years to be the best of Gamecock football.White Helmets during those years.I really don’t care what color they wear but they should stick to one.It’s just me but I like to be able to identify the teams playing by their uni’s.
My first Carolina Clemson game was in Columbia when Suggs was a senior.All the seniors wore black helmets and the rest of the team white.Also saw that in HS with Mooney Player having offense and defense wear different color helmets.
That game, USC's last as an ACC member, was played on 11/21/1970 in Clemson. I was there.
You are correct regarding seniors wearing black helmets.
I also saw then-Lt. Governor Earle Morris in one of the restrooms.
I was at SC during the Rogers days. White should be the main helmet
Seeing and reporting of an insignificant politician in a Men's bathroom in Pickens County is not something of which I'd be proud.
It was a few days before my 11th birthday. Nothing untoward.
I’m in the white helmet camp. The Rogers and Spurrier eras are arguably the best of our history. I’m ok with some variety, but white helmets is my preferred look
If I remember correctly, Spurrier liked white helmets. Back then almost all of our opponents wore colored helmets. I think Florida, Tennessee and Clemson wore orange, Georgia wore red and Kentucky wore blue. The Head Ball Coach thought it was easier for the quarterbacks to spot the receivers. I am certainly not going to question his judgment.
Personally I really like the flat black helmets.

I don’t really care anymore. As long as they never wear those eagles looking helmets with the feathers again. I think the all white is pretty sharp. Wearing new helmets each week also keeps it interesting and I’m sure the players like it.
No. We shouldn't. If you haven't noticed, we have a defined "stripe sequence" on all our sports uniforms. Very easily noticeable on football, basketball, etc. That stripe sequence isn't followed on the throwback helmet & doesn't match the pants or jersey stripes like the normal white helmet does. That throwback helmet should only be worn when/if we wear a complete throwback set. Period!
The only helmet design that should stay in the dustbin and never display again is this
