Best College Football Helmets

[BCWWF]

This thread has been done in some form, but with the upcoming season I am excited and there needs to be more bullshit to talk about.

I went to various sites, primarily here, (http://www.home-team-sports.com/store-categories-Riddell-Full-Size-Replica-Helmets_700768.html) and got pictures of the most of the major NCAA helmets. Which ones do you like and why?

Wisconsin

Lol, somehow only allows 50 images and I had 51.

Anyway, there were some that weren't on that Web site, notably Notre Dame. Feel free to post any that I don't have.

[Joey Slugs]

Alabama & Penn State.

They both just scream tradition.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I like Arizona States since they started wearing the brown chinstraps, looks pretty sick

[BCWWF]

Top 10:
10. Miami, kind of a badass helmet for all the badasses that go there
9. USC, a lot of people don't like them, but for some reason I do
8. Texas, classic, but not too odd
7. ASU, not a fan of the team, but like the helmets
6. Minnesota, I wish the M was bigger, but it's a cool M and I like the colors. Classic but still contemporary.
5. Virginia, just a cool color scheme and logo
4. Arkansas, I really like this color, which tempted me to put OU too, but the logo here is better
3. Texas A&M, another classic one, just looks hardcore
2. Penn State, the look just fits Penn State football for me
1. Alabama, just something about it, it's classic
HM: Ohio State and FSU look cool with the stickers, Nebraska is classic, Michigan is classic but meh, Utah is cool, Florida is kinda cool too

Some of my least favorites:
8. Clemson, just never liked it I guess
7. Cal, it's not god-awful, just not cool. I think it works with Cal though.
6. LSU, seems like it could go either way, but tonight I'm not feeling it
5. Ole Miss, just doesn't have the same feel as Florida's
4. Wisconsin, for a cool team, I don't like the "W" logo they use
3. kansas, dunno, just looks stupid
2. Iowa State, just not a cool logo for a helmet
1. Tennessee, I like the team, but this is not a classic helmet, just tacky
*There were only eight that I don't like tonight I guess

[Skippord]

Boise State

[The Miz]

Who cares

[The Outlaw]

The people who have posted so far?

Anyway, of course I am biased so ya know. I also like OU, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State. I even like Purdue.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Who cares
We get it - you were a scrub when you played sports. Nobody cares about that

[The Miz]

I cared more about playing good than looking good if that's what you're insinuating

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yeah that is exactly my point

[BCWWF]

Outlaw, that Purdue helmet that I posted isn't their usual one is it? I was going to put it on my list of helmets that I didn't like, but then I thought they had a different, cooler one with like a train or something on it.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I know the answer to that but since you only addressed The Outlaw I won't answer

haha but yeah that is their only helmet, with the big P, pretty sure their "logo" or whatever is a train or some shit.

[BCWWF]

Yeah, this is what I was thinking was on their helmets for some reason
http://wkwhradio.com/images/logos/football_Purdue.gif

I think it would be cooler with that, personally, but meh

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Some more views of the best helmet :shifty:

These were the uniforms, and I think helmets, that my school used when I was a senior. Now they are on the sophomore team, and that all apparently wear Under Armour socks too.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol why does the QB have a different helmet decal than the rest of the team?

[BCWWF]

I think that is the helmet from like 2002 and before. Like I said, this is a picture of the scrawny sophomore team in the varsity uniforms from 2003-2004.

WHATTTTTUP

[BCWWF]

North Alabama?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Those are pretty tight

[The Outlaw]

Yeah, almost took the D2 title last year. #44 is my boy.

[BCWWF]

The stadium looks pretty technical from that angle

[The Outlaw]

That's a shot of the away side. ;)

[JohnnyDrama]

Gotta go with a Top 6:
6: Alabama - Love the old school style with just the numbers.
5: USC - Sweet trojan design, beautiful colors.
4: Ohio State - Simple, but the Buckeye decals make it famous.
3: Texas - The burnt orange horns against a white helment looks sweet.
2: Florida State - Awesome arrowhead signifies the FSU tradition of winning and committing crimes.
1: Notre Dame - All about tradition, baby. Love the sight of the golden domes coming out in a packed house.
