I don't mind Alabama's helmet, particularly with their crimson jerseys. The helmet looks good when it is in a dome or at night, especially if it has a nice shine to it.

However, sometimes during day games and/or with the white uniforms, it appears to look like candle wax. The helmet below is an example:

He probably thinks Oregon is awesome with all their ridiculous unis

As you grow older you appreciate the sharp, classic, timeless, clean iconic look. And all the cutting edge too much going on badass x-treme mountain dew uniforms always becomes a joke in time.

I hate the tiger on the LSU helmet - looks stupid.

Could get behind this LSU helmet, although the whiney traditional folks will cringe...

Lost to Memphis last time it was worn. That has to put a dent in the appeal of that combo, no?

Do the Cinncinnati Reds pay the Chicago Bears for the oval "C"?...no,they don't BTW.


Probably because the Cincinnati Reds had been using the Wishbone C since 1905.

That's 15 years before the Chicago Bears came into existence in 1920, and a total of 57 years of Reds usage before the Bears adopted the C logo in 1962.

The Bears actually use a purposely asymmetrical version of the C in order to avoid conflicts of ownership. The intentional flaws make their logo unique to them. It's done in such a way as to appear symmetrical to the human eye like an optical illusion, but once you see the asymmetry pointed out it's pretty glaring:

I've always thought the LSU helmets were awful. the "LSU" font looks like the letters were put on with duct tape. The tiger emblem washes out if you're more than 10 feet away to look like a chrysanthemum.

I'm in the minority, but not a fan of the Ole Miss powder blues. If the stripe on the uniform pants matched they might look better. As it is, it looks like their helmets got lost in shipment to the game and they had to borrow a local JUCO's.

Plus, anything with cursive gets automatically DQ'd. (Looking at you, Gators)

1. Bama
