KSU students, faculty, staff and fans will have a say in what the Owls football team will look like when it takes the field in 2015.
The Department of Athletics has left it up to voting eyes to decide on the shell color, facemask color, logo and helmet stripe of the first official helmet in school history.
The fan survey, which opened Monday, will run through Aug. 30, which is College Colors Day.
Voters can go to ksuowls. com/FBhelmet and fill out the form. Voting options include a black or gold shell, gold or black facemask, the ‘KS’ monogram for the primary logo, as well as a traditional stripe and a stylized stripe.
The winning design will be unveiled at the women’s soccer game at Fifth Third Bank Stadium on Sept. 13.
KSU announced the approval of its football plans by the Board of Regents on Feb. 13. and hired its head coach, former Georgia Tech assistant Brian Bohannon, on March 24.
KSU’s varsity team has already received commitments and plans on beginning practice next Fall. The team will compete at the Division I (Football Championship Subdivision) level, but has not announced a conference to date.
