SMU Mustangs awesome new helmets (Photo)

The SMU Mustangs football team broke out some sweet new patriotic helmets. 

There aren’t many good things to say about the SMU Mustangs football team especially after their gut-wrenching 1-11 season last year, but today, the Mustangs get another win. This time, for their style.

SMU is sporting some brand new patriotic helmets that are absolutely jaw-dropping awesome. The typical SMU helmet is white with a red mustang, but now they have a blue helmet with an American flag mustang. Can’t get much cooler than that.

SMU had such a bad season last year, it looked as if they were going to forfeit the rest of their games. But, SMU has hired a new coach in Chad Morris and will play a tough 2015 season that starts off with the first two of three games being Baylor and TCU.

SMU went to four straight bowl games from 2009-2012 under head coach June Jones, but the last two seasons, the Mustangs have been struggling below .500 and Jones departed after starting 0-2 last season.

We’ll see if Morris and the new helmets can help perpetuate SMU to a postseason football team once again.
