Hawaii's New Helmets Are GAS !!!!!!!
THE HAWAII FOOTBALL TEAM HAS REDESIGNED THEIR HELMETS AS THEY HEAD INTO THE 2022-23 FOOTBALL SEASON. THE CENTER STRIPE OF THE HELMET WILL FEATURE FEATHERS AS THE MANAWA TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE HAWAII WARRIORS AND CHIEFS. THE HAWAII LOGO WILL BE ON THE SIDE WITH SPECIAL HULU MOA (CHICKEN FEATHER) HELMET MERIT DECALS THAT WILL BE EARNED BY PLAYERS DURING THE SEASON. WHITE MERIT STICKERS WILL BE GIVEN TO DEFENSIVE PLAYERS AND BLACK FOR THE OFFENSIVE PLAYERS. THIS IS A NOD TO KING KAMEHAMEHA’S WHITE AND BLACK STONES, WHICH REPRESENTED BEING ON THE OFFENSIVE OR DEFENSIVE IN BATTLE. THE FINISHING TOUCH COMES ON THE LEFT SIDE BY THE EAR HOLE OF THE HELMET WITH THE ISLAND CHAIN DECAL.
I am low on Hawaii's potential this season even though they brought back Timmy Chang as new Head Coach, but there is no denying these new helmets are straight up GAS.
They were designed to celebrate the warriors and chiefs who are part of Hawaii's culture, something Hawaii embraces and includes in their program. If you tune in late night to a Hawaii broadcast (locally broadcasted on Facebook), you'll see the analysts in Hawaiian patterned shirts, and the team has done a "Haka" before games in the past.
They may go 3-10, or 4-9 at best but my god will they look sick in those helmets ! Look good, play good as the saying goes, for some … that's a motto to live by .
