LOL @ Yahoo sports! The helmets had nothing to do with the players numbers being hard to read. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footba...d-Two-Oregon-comes-out-in-c?urn=ncaaf-wp12364
The helmets looked a lot better when it got darker, IMO. And I think it was the liquid color on the numbers that made them hard to read... not the helmets (agreeing with you there, SPD ). Ed O.
The helmets would have to be completely round like giant goldfish bowls for there to be any reflection from them down onto the numbers. I thought the helmets looked great during the day. The tops glowed the bright sky blue. I'm surprised no team has ever done that before.
