UNLV had their home opener against Utah Tech this weekend. While the Rebels wore their normal red home uniforms, the helmet was a new look. UNLV honored the 1974 football team against Utah Tech at halftime. For the occasion, they brought these out.
It's a white helmet with the vintage red sun logo that reads UNLV all around it. It's nice that they included a red facemask rather than keeping it white. The 1974 squad made it to the NCAA Division II Semifinals and has the school record with 12 wins.
