When do we lose our innocence?

My innocence was pretty well shot in the 9th grade after football initiation. It involved Creamergesic (sp).
Our innocence was lost against USC when they took a knee in the red zone, just before half time. The defining point of Wulff's coaching career.
Not to hijack the thread back to its original purpose, but I really, hate, chrome, helmets. Yes I used the word innocence and I do apologize. But, if someone thought chrome helmets were cool, that ship has sailed. If we do it, holy hell.
Chrome (or otherwise reflective/mirror) helmets were interesting the first few times they were done. But with everyone now coming out with their own terrible version of them, they've become more of a liability than anything, and really an embarrassment that you're taking your cues from other teams 3+ years after the first version was released. A bit like blackout jerseys in 2014.
To the other point of this thread, we've been losing our innocence in nearly every game for 130 years. At this point I think we're in the red ink and might actually owe some innocence back.
Honestly, they do not bother me in the least. This is something that I have changed my mind. The uniforms do represent the school. I get that. However, we are not the ones wearing the uniforms and helmets. The players are. If that is what they like, then I am fine with that. Yes, some of the uniforms from some schools look ugly in my opinion. But, I am sure what I think looks nice is much different than a 17-22 year old.
What 1990 said. If players and recruits like it, then so be it. And I actually like the black jerseys.
My only requirement is that the shirt color contrast sufficiently with the names/numbers on the back that I can read it. We've had a few combinations over the last decade that made reading names/numbers rather difficult, and I'm sorry, that is just plain dumb.
