Yeah..South Carolina has had their share of ugly helmets. I would like to see some without the block C on the newer helmets.

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.

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


talks about bias, end up writing a biased post

Why would you show the tail feathers in 2015? Kind of an odd choice of the body to use on a helmet.

Actually, we asked to use it, but tweaked it to be our own. GreenBay loved it so much, they asked us to use the revision.

Isn't it a biased topic all-together?

Or is it because he chose other teams over Alabama?

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?

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.




The tiger eye would be incredible, maybe even better if it were the only thing on the side(s) of the helmet.

Billy Brewer! His and OM's current years must be why I associate OM's powder blue with NCAA infractions.

Even worse, I still associate State's "M State" with Sylvester Croom.
