NeutralNovice Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 So I know there is the Shako, Aussie, "Helmet" that I've seen called "Regimental", Spartan, Carolina Crown... anymore I'm missing? Which is your favorite type of helmet in general? Which corps wears their headwear best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2muchcoffeeman Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 For my money, it's Vanguard. It is a look with purpose, even when standing still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgerbob Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm a fan of certain types of shakos... ones that don't sit too far down on the head. BD's shakos are pretty much the epitome IMO, especially paired with a tall, light plume (no black!!). They make the member look extremely tall.

2000Cadet Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 For my money, it's Vanguard. It is a look with purpose, even when standing still. It's the feather that makes it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 This one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozeing Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The Phantom Regiment style helmets are really cool, but my favorites have got to be the aussies with feathers. However, I feel like the aussies are underutilized as a visual element, especially with the brim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeutralNovice Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm kind of biased towards SCV but I love the Aussie as well. For some reason, it just looks so bad@$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Phantom's headgear this year after the uniform change! JUST KIDDING Blue Devils hands down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 There are few that I don't like. I like Aussie-style better than shako, although a uniform like the Cadets wouldn't look good with anything but a shako. I really like what the Academy did with the ribbons tied around their shakos this year. I thought it made them look cool - particularly the fact the color of the ribbon matched the ties they were wearing. I thought Crown's "hats" looked better with a feather than without.

2000Cadet Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 .....Cadets wouldn't look good with anything but a shako. OMG can you imagine that uniform with an aussie??? I would die laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
