Duke uses terrifying photos to show off new helmet decals

It appears Eli Roth is doing Duke’s publicity photos for them now.

“Welp, it’s about time to show off these here new decals. Y’all better get on down to the killing shed and set up the 150-watt halogen work light.”

Seriously, what in the hell is going on with these macabre-ass pictures? Did the John Wayne lawsuit shut off Duke’s electricity? They made this super-sad football player look like a create-a-wrestler. But one that’s going to murder you.

Well done, Duke. Normally we have to wait until March to mock you. Get ahead of that curve now.
