Thank goodness they didn't put Toonces on there. I'd be interested in seeing what they'd look like with the Tiger Eye image.

#1. LSU



Third worst helmet in the SEC after Ole Miss and Florida. The letters and the Tiger makes it too busy.

I like the historic nature of Bama's helmet and am glad they haven't felt the need to change it, but I don't think it's the best. Also think that Florida's helmet is way too high. Other than that, I'm okay with the list.

This list is garbage. The only reason Bama's helmet is red with just a number is that they could not think of a mascot for an algal bloom

Best three helmets -- Alabama, Michigan, Penn State.

Certainly aren't the busiest.

Gives Missouri "high marks" for constantly changing their helmet, but gives Alabama #1 for using the exact same design for half a century or more.

Complete lack of consistency in his rankings and reasoning.

Alabama has one of the worst helmets. It plays in to their overall "look" which I wouldn't rank as the worst, I'd actually rank it quite high, but the helmet individually is boring.

19a.)


19b.)


19c.)


Ugliest logo in college football. Doesn't matter the color, three way tie for last.

18.)


Highschoolish logo. Horrible all around.

17.)


Just boring.

16.)


Boring.

15.)


Boring.

14.)


Actually looks a bit cleaner than their normal helmet. Generally the gimmicks suck, and this one isn't great, but it's actually an upgrade.

13.)


The Navy makes it meh.

12.)


The "F" isn't that clean of a look, IMO, and why the constantly change the font. Like the white, but overall the other Florida helmet is way better.

11.)


A cool logo and decent color scheme. If you can pull of gold, it's decent.

10.)


In general that orange and white make a terrible overall uniform, that even thin black outlines have never been able to solve. A horrible color scheme in general, but when just on the helmet, it's not that bad. Especially with that T being a solid logo.

9.)


Good color scheme with a solid logo, not as good as the white helmet.

8.)


Great look. Works well with home and away uniforms.

7.)


Should be Vandy's only helmets.

6.)


Although the logo is a little lame, it's still a strong look with the cardinal red.

5.)


Much better than the maroon one.

4.)


Great color scheme and great logo.

3.)


Classic. Terrible fans and a terrible program that pulled the most chicken shite move in the history of college football and broke the contract with A&M because they were sick of getting molested on the football field, but still a great helmet.

2.)

Another example of the overall uniform look being meh, but at a helmet, it doesn't get much better.

1.)

I don't get why this isn't their only helmet.

Am I the only one that truly believes LSU has one of the worst helmets? The tiger is all retarded looking and sloppy like a 4 year old had drawn it.


It's iconic and a true symbol of college football.

List is all over the place and bad.

Best are: Big 6 + powder blues

The rest are pretty forgettable and change too much

Bama's aren't going to win any style points. But that's the whole point. You don't mess with iconic, legendary stuff. The Yankees will always have their pin stripes. The Lakers will always be gold and purple. The Cowboys will always have that plain-jane star on their helmet. Bama will always have crimson helmets with a white stripe and numbers. It's perfect in it's simplicity. That said, here's my flawless list:

1) LSU
2) UGA
3) Bama
4) Arkansas
5) Vandy
6) Florida
7) Auburn
8) Tennessee
9) Ole Miss
10) UK
11) USC
12) ATM
13) MSU
14) Mizzou

I also like Bama's, I like the tradition. I'm a big fan of Penn State's uniforms as well


I agree with this. Some schools uniforms are iconic and should never be messed with. Bama, Penn St, Michigan, Notre Dame, USCw.

Then there's schools that never where the same thing twice in a season.

I like LSU's uniforms as a whole, the helmet by itself isn't that spectacular.

I put Bama as number 1 helmet. There is instant recognition when you see one.

Their old uni's were actually good. The new ones look like a poorly designed high school team. Just pathetic.

Whatever the uniforms/helmets they wore in the Cotton Bowl against Arkansas were my favorite Mizzou unis.

Alabama's helmet is the black Tuxedo of college football. Unchanged in years because it's a great look
