On Friday afternoon, a member of the Texas A&M equipment staff tweeted out a picture of a member of their crew wearing a silver football helmet. The tweet was quickly deleted.

This lead to plenty of A&M fans and blogs to get excited that the Aggie could be planning to make a few aesthetic changes when the season starts this fall.

As college sports blog College Spun noted, the silver helmet could just be waiting to get a sticker slapped on it, or it could be a total fake out meant to steer Aggie superfans the wrong way.

Either way, don't be surprised if the team takes the field this fall wearing silver domes on their skulls when they take on Alabama on Sept. 14.

A uniform overhaul doesn't sound so far-fetched as the team is under an even bigger microscope with the likes of Heisman winner and Twitter darling Johnny Manziel at the helm.
