I was wondering the same thing also. Looks sweet though. Wonder if it has any significance or if Adidas just wanted it on there.

 

Looks like a photoshop job to me....I think someone took an Adidas advertisement and doctored it up a bit...

Not sure what the criss-crossed anchors are all about...

 

the anchors are part of the archway over the east entrance to the basillica.

the photoshopper PSd this right onto helmet. professional graphic artists would have done this much better

 

here is what i found in a couple spots about the anchors. but not sure if it is tied into the archway meaning.

 

While the earliest forms of an anchor being used as a symbol harkens all the way back to the early Christians. They would often use the anchor as a hidden symbol for the cross. This was often used to show that they were Christian while escaping persecution from the Greeks.

Yeah, that or:

 

About the Seal of The Congregation of Holy Cross

 

 

The seal of the Congregation of Holy Cross is represented by a cross surmounted at its base by two anchors, the Christian symbol for hope. Our motto is the Latin phrase Ave Crux Spes Unica reflecting our conviction that the cross is our "only hope."

 

The abbreviation "C.S.C." represents the Latin title of the Congregation -- Congregatio a Sancta Cruce.
