There might not be a college football program whose alternate helmets are more consistently awesome than Air Force.
After last year’s legendary Sharktooth helmets, the academy revealed alternate helmets made to look like F-35 fighter pilot helmets.
It’s not quite as sweet as last year’s look but still pretty special.
Grade: A-
From Air Force’s website:
The helmet will have five different designs, the first of which was unveiled today. Follow @AFFootball as the remaining four helmets will be revealed Sept. 5-8. On one side of every helmet will be the familiar Air Force logo often seen on aircraft, which includes the length-wise bars intersecting the roundel. On the other side will be a decal representing one of the five Air Force F-35-A operational fighter squadrons in the Air Force.
The time is now! The 2017 Air Power Legacy Series Helmet #1 of 5! We will honor the future with the F-35 Helmet this year! #LetsFly #APLS pic.twitter.com/jaUfm9tHcD
