Yeah it’s objectively a good looking helmet

But so is Green Bay’s. You can’t just copy someone else’s homework.

Florida’s helmets and uniforms defy all my rules. Because in general I hate outlines on numbers and logos.

I think It’s because the blue and the orange are both bright if you put them next to each other directly they wouldn’t look as good as they do with the white breaking them up.

Not one for uniform changes but I’d love to see these again.

Like you, I'm not big on the alternate unis, but I would love to see Bama rock the white helmets every now and then. Maybe on some anniversary commemorating someone or a team from that era. But not during a rivalry or playoff game.

With that said, and yes this may be biased, but I love what Auburn did going back to the orange facemasks a few games this year. It just looks good to me. Also, you will never see me advocate for some fan fiction blue AU helmet or the sparsely used orange jerseys from the past. Just no. I do wish Auburn would go back to all black cleats and socks from the early 2000s era.


And to answer the OP: My favorite outside of my school has to be the Razorbacks standard helmet. It's clean and one of the best looking uses of a cool logo.

Our Spurrier Heisman throwback uniforms are absolutely gorgeous, I really wish we'd create a version of that to be our primary. I understand that the current "script Gator" uniforms have become pretty iconic, and they're realistically never going away, but a guy can dream.

A highly underrated throwback helmet - the Mississippi State "Flying M" helmet:

So the history behind Georgia's G is semi correct. We used the old Green Bay oval G originally in 1961, but then modified and trade-marked our own oval G in 1964.

Green Bay's remodeled G is actually based off of Georgia's modified 1964. So, Georgia copied Green Bay, then modified it a little, then Green Bay copied Georgia lol.


Y'all improved the oval G logo when you modified it in 1964.

The uniform itself is Incredible. The Pantone of the orange and the blue is spot on.
The helmet is an eyesore.

White on orange gross

Yeah... we went through some very dark times. Adidas/Nike, Pepsi/Coke (still serving that Pepsi swill), and a string of coaches.

On OP topic:
Hogs
Auburn
South Carolina
Ole Miss (dark blue)

Don't really get the votes for Bama helmets, other than just being a homer. Sure, the timelessness factor is there, but it's pretty basic and I don't get the logic of every helmet being different due to numbers. Make it hard to buy a display team helmet, since you're really buying a player helmet.

1) Georgia
2) Auburn
3) Ole Miss

Think Michigan is the best overall.

Of course I love LSU's but I've always loved Ole Miss and Auburn's. Auburns especially, I usually do not like Orange and Blue, but Auburn really nails this combination.

Some solid choices in the SEC.. Except Mizzou, they should either go back in time or commit to some of the newer alternates they've shown.

Bama gets points for a clean look and keeping it old school

Also Bama’s logos are all trash and boring, so this definitely is the way for them to go.

Could you imagine them with the knockoff braves logo on their helmet?

Michigan has a very good uniform. It's a tie for the best in the all of cfb in my opinion between Texas and Tallahassee.

As in FSU?

Cool helmets: best helmet stickers in college football by a mile

Meh uniforms.

Also Michigan is again old school and cool but can you give them points for creativity when it wasn’t at all creative when the made the unis? They literally stole it from Princeton when their coach came over.

Though they've changed it alot, I've always thought Miss States usually looked good.

And.... Auburn's is aight.

As much as it pains me to say it, they have an incredible color set, and they have the second best helmet logo, imo, after Clemson. They looked better before they changed their logo to that picture of a grandpa after he stepped on one of his grandson's LEGOs, but they're still strikingly good.

Bleacher report article putting us at 10

247 putting us at 8

It’s not insane to say we have a generally well liked helmet
