Huh? No Oregon? I'd thought Nike would have tinkered with Oregon as part of their promotion (like the chrome helmets, should they decide to do that).
Well, given Nike's record with Oregon and some other helmets, I'm a little worried that some tradition will be broken off--Florida State's black helmets may just be the tip of the iceberg.

It may be tough to replicate the scales, but I'm watching the game against Utah right now, and the helmets look pretty sharp.
