When the Louisville Cardinals take the field on Saturday for their biggest game this season, they’ll be styling in these new helmets

There are a few great college football games to look forward to this weekend in Week 3 of the season, and it gets started right off on Noon Saturday with a showdown between No. 10 Louisville and No. 2 Florida State. This early-season ACC showdown holds a lot of weight already in the College Football Playoff race, making it quite the special occasion.

Now when it comes to special occasions and college football, you know that certain programs like to dress for it. Well, Louisville will be making quite the statement when they take the field on Saturday afternoon against the Seminoles.

The Cardinals announced that when they take on Florida State Saturday in this huge game, they’ll be sporting these fresh new red chrome helmets, that certainly have all the heads turning.


Okay, so if you’re one of those “GET OFF MY LAWN” college football fans, then chances are you’re really not all that much of a fan of these. But if you’re into the uniform modifications that we see every year, then there’s a pretty good chance that you can’t wait to see the Cardinals hit that field on Saturday with these on.

Helmets aside, this could end up being one of the biggest games in Louisville football history. They’ve torn through the first two weeks of the season and they have a legitimate Heisman candidate at quarterback in Lamar Jackson. All things considered, if they can knock off the Seminoles on Saturday and move to 3-0, they’ll definitely have their sights set on that coveted College Football Playoff slot.

Win or lose, though, no one is going to forget these helmets.
