DAMN!!!! Edwards goes in balls deep.

That right there is some funny stuff

Good luck with that fight..

 

I'm a Navy vet (not a SEAL) and don't see anything wrong with him wearing it.
Now if he was wearing Cracker Jacks and the trident, I'd have a problem. Which reminds me that Johnny Knoxville needs an asswhoopin'.

 

I was trying to think of a reply like this, but I couldnt come up with anything. For Colin Edwards, who is a top-level racer, to support top-level specops soldiers is OK with me.

 

If CE or Arai make money on it:down:
If CE and Arai donate any profits from it:up:
Is the Trident copyrighted? If so they better have gotten permission or paid to use it. Will be horrible PR if they didnt.

Ride safe,

+1 to Colin Edwards. In this world of PC, how the hell do you show support for the fantastic job these guys (SEALS) do? It's not like he impersonating them. He clearly doesn't try to deminish their achievements....rather he's focusing attention to their achievements on the world stage. I say "way to go Colin"!!!

 

Either you earned it or you didn't.

Not cool to fly on a helmet.

 

Colin is a major supporter of the armed services and if I am not mistaken has a retired SEAL member involved with his Tornado Boot Camp. I would be shocked if he didn't take things seriously and respectfully about something that deals with the armed services.

I'm sure some people will get upset about it, and I am sure some people will think it kicks ass. Just like Colin

 

I think Colin understands what's on his helmet and not taking it lightly.

 

Watch Icon jump the gun and sell these tridents on their lids.

 

All in all, Colin Edwards has never demonstrated himself to be anything less than a good dude.:up:

 

Sorry but everyone who is saying he shouldn't be wearing it because he didn't earn it just needs to get a freakin grip! He is obviously a big supporter of the armed forces and this is a way to draw attention to a specific branch/unit in light of recent events. Bash me all you want but unless you are a SEAL STFU!

 

I think there is a huge difference in supporting the seals this way, and trying to pass himself off as one.

It is not like he is doing his post race interview in military uniform with the trident on. He is supporting our boys who we lost.

I for one think it is awesome what he is doing.

 

My sentiments exactly... I'd hate to see a troll leaving the Sonic parking lot doing a high chair down I-35 wearing it. It's called Vehicular Manslaughter...

 

Me thinks way too many people are upset about a good gesture.

 

Same here!

BTW, I'll bet that helmet goes on ebay after Indy and the proceeds go to whatever fund there is for the lost Seals or their family's!

 

It is a double edged sword for me. I like the idea of the tribute, but in a way it is kind of like seeing a flatbiller wear a WERA shirt that has never been anywhere near a bike. I can see both sides, but when it comes down to it if it is his way of showing his respect rock on. Hopefully it gets his ass on the podium .....or in front of a microphone.

 

Hes been wearing a team hat for years...and its not one you pickup at the airport.

Colin showing and discussing his Indy helmet.

 

If I recall correctly, when I as at the boot camp in May I was told Alyssa went to school with and remains friends with Marcus Luttrell, SEAL and survivor of Operation Red Wings.
I have no doubt that Colin is just trying to show his support. Very cool.

 

The vidoe makes it clear, the helmet is in tribute to the seals we lost. I hope everyone can get over it... Dude wants to honor the fallen in the best way he can. Rock on CE!
