Those are the helmets we made in 2008 and stored at my Tampa Palms apartment and not the athletic facility (to keep them as a surprise to players).  They did make their debut at the 2008 Magic Jack Bowl.  The original white helmets were dark green logos and a single green stripe.  I remember Taurus Johnson's face when he walked back in from warm ups and saw all those hanging in the locker room haha.  Good times.

Cool story! Taurus Johnson...One of my all time favorite Bulls!!

Unless it was the 2008 St. Petersburg / Magic Jack bowl in the trop with the single green stripe, not sure.  I think we also had those a year or so after until they added the 3 stripes on the helmet (

It looks like just dark green to me.  Wish they did a black one with the black out uniforms.

The old folks seem to have an attraction to the baby throw up gold. Not sure why.

Cause those were the good ole days for the USF program.

I am an old folk and hate them. Only one I disliked more was the one with the goat from early years.

These helmets are much better than the tin foil metallic crap of the last few years. You can’t even see the U on those suckers...

I’m 28 and prefer the ones we use this season. I couldn’t stand the gold chrome ones. I was a huge fan of the oversized matte helmets we had during the Taggart era but those seem to just be collecting dust.
