Earlier this week, WSU announced it was going to wear the white helmet/crimson jersey/white pants combination for its final home game of the year, versus Colorado. It's a combination that's only been used one other time, and had not been used at all this year.
Tonight, the Cougars revealed a twist:
Early reaction to the helmets on Twitter was overwhelmingly positive, and it looks like the shift went over well in the locker room, as well.
You'll notice that the original tweet included the hashtag #honorthepast; according to this helmet-tracking site, WSU wore white helmets with crimson numbers from 1956-59 and from 1962-63.
