Ranking the best helmets in the SEC
MICHAEL FREER | 2 DAYS AGO
"When it comes ranking the best football helmets in the SEC, it’s important to remember a few things about this list:
– There is no “worst” helmet. I actually think every team has a distinctive and interesting design. And if a helmet or uniform design has to be altered, or an alternative option is created, to help appeal to an 18-year old recruit, so be it.
– This is about as subjective a list as you will find. So please, no complaints of bias, or charges of favoring one school over another. If you disagree with the list order, no problem. Feel free to create your own. Chances are your list will be just as accurate, no matter the order.
So, as I looked through the helmets of the SEC, this is how I rank the teams, from 14 to 1."

Missouri should be rated number 15. The old block M is classy. Nothing wrong with being classy. This tiger leaping or growling is a joke. Thanks Nike or whomever. We whored out and that is what we get!!

It can be argued that outside of a school in Tuscaloosa, there is no more distinctive logo on a helmet in the SEC than Georgia’s oval ‘G’. The helmet design will likely not change anytime soon, given how some fans are still upset over the Bulldogs’ decision to wear a black helmet in 2009 against Florida.
Now, while I don’t necessarily advocate making a change to the helmet design itself, would a change of color on the facemask every now and then be the worst idea of all time? Instead of the traditional white, how about red or black?
All time might be a stretch, but it would be a bad idea.

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.

that article wreaks of bias.
How do you have Bama at 1 then Vandy at 2 while putting UGA at 8? I personally thing UGA's are much better than Bama's due to the oval G versus a number.
The bias in me wants to see Auburn's higher but the only one I would undoubtedly move Auburn ahead of in that list would be Mizzou. Arguably I like Auburn's better than Alabama's, Tennessee's, LSU's and Florida's.
My top 3 would be:
1. UGA
2. Ole Miss
3. Florida/Auburn

If Missouri would go back to the old block M, there would be no bad helmets in the SEC.

Arkansas has one of the best helmets in the country. List is shite.

Just because Alabama has been too lazy to change theirs doesn't make it the best.

Would have Auburn higher and Bama/UGA lower.
