1) The Helmet project is super awesome.

2) It varies for me. I usually don't like single color uniforms, but some cases like Penn State, Alabama, or Oklahoma are just classic...

3) The Helmet is a Friedgen design - it's the Helmet they wore in the 80s when Friedgen was an assitant under Bobby Ross - except in white instead of red. (I like the idea of them going back to a red helmet... but the white is so great.)

The 2001-2003 uniform was designed by Fridge and had the Broncos type slash on the side. The 2004+ uniforms were designed by Kevin Plank of Under Armor, a Maryland Alum... It's sort of like Miami with the piping, but it's really not. It doesn't have that dopey line across the back or anything. The biggest annoyanve for me is all that logo creep...

And yeah - the Block M was bad. It's fine as a piece of flair on the side, but not as the featured element on the helmet. In addition to all those helmets you mention, to most folks a Block M is really synonymous with Michigan baseball caps.

4) Yes - WVU folks stole your uniforms. They are just that lame.
