Kansas is using the hashtag #CRIMSONCHROME as silver accents are abound, including a very Oregon-esque chrome facemask. The hype video shows a few of the nicer details, with “KU” being printed inside the blue numbers with a silver outline.
As uniforms have gotten crazier and crazier, teams have stepped up their game and tried to do anything and everything they can to boost marketing footprint. The chrome feature has been a staple ever since the Ducks unveiled their mirrored helmets at the 2011 Rose Bowl against Wisconsin. Baylor soon followed suit with a gold helmet and Boise State recently added chrome their newest headgear.
Kansas’ response?
“Put a bird on it.”
