The Wyoming Cowboys are breaking out brand new helmet for the 2011 version of the Border War against their rival the Colorado St. Rams. These new helmets are similar to the 9/11 design where the Cowboy on the helmet was the American flag in their 45-10 win over the Texas State Bobcats. This time around the Cowboy on the helmet is red, white and blue with the Wyoming state flag instead of the American flag.

In the background is the 9/11 helmet and I am not a huge fan of the new helmet design, but it is getting people to talk about the design. It is different and is bringing some more attention to the Wyoming football team, and they deserve some attention with the good year that they are having.
