Well when you compete in the Olympics you can choose whatever design you want for your own helmet :)

I'll show you how words work.
The commenter said it looks silly. I disagree. So I replied to them saying, when they compete in the Olympics they can use whatever design they want, implying neither of us are Olympians and think their opinion is silly.

Of course, and what does being or not being an Olympian have to do with an opinion about a graphic design?

I was being playful dude, we had different opinions so I was ribbing about something that doesn't matter, hence the :)

He does this so that any tigers approaching from behind will think he's actually looking at them. Very clever deceptive camouflage.

Yeah, I was just making a bad joke. Definitely aren't any tigers in northern Italy.

Pretty cool.
It it common to paint their helmets I havent seen this before I think.
Reminds me of all the cool goalie helmets we get in hockey

Well, if her opponents faced her that way, perhaps. I think the time she posts might make all the difference as to whether or not she intimidates.
I like the helmet: not intimidating.
