The South Carolina Gamecocks’ new script Carolina helmets were the most controversial discussion topic before the season opener, and thanks to a breezy win over Coastal Carolina, they’ve remained one of the biggest sticking points from Week 1. It’s a divisive issue among a normally agreeable fanbase, especially since it’s unclear whether the script helmet will be the only garnet lid worn this season. So far, I haven’t encountered many who thought the helmets were just okay — it seems to be a clear love-them-or-hate-them situation, even with fans who witnessed the birth of the script in the 1980s.
