that looks like chrome to me, and it certainly looked different than the normal grey in person.

If you zoom in, you can tell it's a gray finish & not chrome.

I don't see anything different from the ones that were worn against Michigan in 2012 and against va tech.

It's pretty clearly:

1) A thicker stripe, which could be construed as a throwback. The current 'combat unis' (va tech) have an oversized stripe but not that big.

2) Glossy nickel plating, like a truck bumper (or the Oregon Rose Bowl helmets) instead of a mixture of shiny and matte finish like the 2012 combat helmet.

I'm trying to see it, but they look identical to me.

The back view may be throwing me off...

The helmet finish is clearly a glossy chrome instead of the matte chrome of the 2012 helmet. The neck pad is also different, highlighting the super chrome theme (similar to what Oregon wore vs Wisconsin in Pasadena with the eye melting reflections of the sun)

Yea, I can see the neck pad difference now, it's very slight. I think I'd have to see the new ones in the sun to be able to tell a difference in the chrome.
