Alabama AD Greg Byrne responds to Crimson Tide fan calling for return of white helmets
If you missed it, Alabama’s official Twitter account caused quite the reaction recently by teasing its new profile picture.
The image shared by the Crimson Tide featured a white-on-white look of the classic Alabama “A” along with a white background and a “stay tuned!” caption.
Without any other further explanation, Alabama fans are eagerly awaiting what this could mean.
Arguably the most popular theory is a potential return of white helmets for the Crimson Tide.
Here’s the image shared by Alabama on Wednesday, along with a reaction many Crimson Tide fans have had to the image:

A day later, Byrne responded to one fan asking for a return of the white helmets.
Unfortunately, for fans eager to see the white helmets return, they’ll have to continue to wait.
Here’s Byrne’s response:

I think I’m the only living Gump that doesn’t like the white helmets. I almost feel guilty.
Secretively I love your iconic crimson helmets…white one blah
I don’t like them either.
What would one game do? I think they should do it once a year. Pretty sure Nick is the one that doesn’t want to do it.
