Road Batting Helmets - Better Than Home or Not?

Well, not much about this thread makes sense. Although the Futurama screen grab is sweet.

I like them both; they hearken back to our glorious past.

I like them both, honestly.

One pet peeve of mine is that they don't have an "O's" helmet that matches the hat. I've never cared for the O's hat, but I think if they're going to wear it they need to splurge for the matching helmets.

This.

I like that they use both black and white panel cartoon bird caps and helmets. I've never had a problem with the "O's" cap as a once a week alternate, and it would be cool if they had a matching helmet, at least for home games anyway. It doesn't bother me too much though. If you ask me, their home, road, and alternate black and orange uniform combinations are just about perfect now. I hope they stick with them for a long time.

I'm loving both the home and away helmets. I see Eddie at home and Brooks and Boog away.

I prefer the old school black hats. I'm not a big fan of the white panel hats. I do prefer them over the O's hats taht they wear. I know they are popular with the kids, so they won't go away for a while.
