"Slightly"? I like the addition of the Marine emblem; it's a nice touch. But did they really have to spell out their name? They should have kept the "WIU" and used a larger graphic. That's too busy for a helmet decal.

Brief history of the WIU Leathernecks nickname: http://www.goleathernecks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=12000&ATCLID=3758798

I'm glad to see they've finally started using that nickname for their female athletes as well. Women have been serving in the Marines for over 90 years, after all (per http://www.womenmarines.org/wm_history.aspx).
