Helmets as a recruiting tool and maybe a fundraiser?

Was just on ESPN and I saw the short video about the helmet makeover for a bunch of different BCS teams, mainly Oregon.

So it got me thinking, what if Syracuse teamed up with a high profile custom paint shop to create one of a kind helmets. My first thought was OCC or Paul Jr Designs for the fact they are from NY and it could possibly get SU some exposure on a high profile tv show.

Second, after the game auction the helmets to raise money to build facilities or even just a scholarship fund.

They could even try to get the community into the process by having local high schools submit designs, with the winning design or concepts receiving free tickets for the class, you know we have enough open seats lately.

Think this would get recruits and the community buzzing, not to mention ESPN loves to cover this type of stuff.

Seeing a shadow of 44 in the background gets me excited thinking about it.
