Akron testing out awesome helmet designs (Photos)

Akron debuted two awesome new helmets in 2014 and more unique designs could be on the way in 2015.

Both the Akron equipment and video staffs teased a nice collection of new designs and they all look awesome. Take a look.

Guess the "Roo" is out of the bag. The EQ staff + Coach have been working on some new helmet concepts. #ZipSwag http://ift.tt/18SuNaQ

Amazing what a decal switch can do to change up a helmet. #FullRoo #ZipSwag http://ift.tt/1yOpuPD

Of course these aren’t official, but they all look great. The kangaroo decal is awesome, but I’m not sure if it looks quite as good as the white helmets with the “Z” logo from last season.

You think the gold chrome was sharp...take a look at the white! We will have both helmets this year! #GoZips http://ift.tt/1no3Tqj

We’ll just have to wait and see if the Zips get to wear these helmets for real in 2015.
