Good Morning, Bronco Nation! Showcasing the beauty of Boise, The Blue and the state of Idaho, Boise State football revealed the "Front Porch of Idaho" hand-painted helmet the team will wear for its game against App State on Sept. 27. Wrapped around a traditional blue helmet, the design, hand-crafted by artist Armando Villarreal, salutes some key icons of the Boise community.

The specialty helmet brings Idaho's story to life with a white airbrushed design accented in Boise State's signature orange. On the right side, a galloping Bronco charges forward while the left side proudly displays the Idaho State Capitol in front of the scenic foothills that serve as a backdrop for the "City of Trees." The back features Albertsons Stadium and its famous blue turf above an array of trees lining the Boise River. Final additions of orange in the Bronco's eye and in the end zones add a bold flash of Bronco pride.
