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

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.

List is all over the place and bad.

Best are: Big 6 + powder blues

The rest are pretty forgettable and change too much

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

There is no “worst” helmet. I actually think every team has a distinctive and interesting design.

Did a millenial write this or something?

Auburn and USC basically have the same helmet, their logo is just better. Both look good with all white uniforms.

I know we don't have the cleanest looking logo, but at least we've stuck with tradition. The block C has been around a long time and I'd hate to see us get rid of it.

SEC outsider opinion:

Mizzou should be near the bottom, bump LSU way up the ladder, Vandy one slot ahead of Mizzou and A&M is better than #13. Arky needs more love as well.

As a purist I'm okay with Bama at #1, but LSU has the best looking lids by far all just based on appearance. He got MSU correct... Ugly.

Bizarre he says Georgia's hasn't changed & should alter the facemask color, yet praises Alabama because they never change!

WTF?

UK and Bama are essentially the same helmet in different colors.

OM (powder blue), UF, and LSU are #'s 1-3. UGA just back of those.

I don't really like the LSU helmet. The L S U looks too plain or too spaced out and the tiger pic is too small/detailed to really see what it is at any distance.

HOWEVER, I get there is history behind the helmet and that LSU fans love it. I'm not trying to say that MSU's is any better, and MSU's certainly doesn't have any good history behind it.

I also think the gamecock is too small/detailed to see at any distance. Did maybe the razorback used to be that way but isn't as bad now?
