It reminds me of "art critics", or the folks who write reviews of a concert given by a symphony.  Ever read an art critic going on about some modern art painting?  It sounds, to me, like gobbledygook.  The concert reviews all read the same, pretty much.

It would be fun to have an art critic answer this question.  I'm not one of course, but what if someone had a helmet that was something like a Monet painting?  Or a cubist thing?  Or Van Gogh?  Starry night? On a helmet?  Dunno.

Maryland seems to be closest to this or the Academies.

Has anyone ever had different helmets for different positions?  I could see a defense coming out in all black for example, and WRs wear fluorescent orange or something, OLs would be camo or grass green, the Qb would be maybe bright red.

Florida helmets look really sharp IMO. Especially this one or the gator one.


I like the cursive Gators one. Good helmet.  I don’t care for the cartoon gator though.  When Ok St wears the cartoon cowboy I hate that one too.  I think UNC has great helmets, too.  But I’m partial to anything they wear.  I love that shade of blue.

I always hated the "script" ones where it just says the name of the team in cursive on the side. 

Ugly, lazy and generic; great combo.

Is this legal, BTW?

I can’t imagine it would be.  It ceases to be a uniform at that point.

Uniforms today are not "uniform" entirely, they have different numbers of them, and some have stickers on helmets.

Players wear different kinds of protective gear externally, some have visors, etc.

Texas Longhorns Riddell Speed CUSTOM Burnt Orange BEVO Mini Football Helmet  | eBay

Is not a helmet that Texas ever wore in a game.  In fact that looks like one of those novelty mini-helmets.  Nice try, pot stirrer.

Hell... let's embroidery a football on the gullet of RBs... with a little air bladder that can be activated or deactivated when the refs look... it can even be actuated by the QB voice... 

Thatll be fun.

Does Medina know the topic is about the helmets they wear, and not “helmet” status?  I think he doesn’t. 
No, I didn't get that

Yeah, leaving it plain is much more work.

You quibble about some odd stuff, and are almost always wrong.

Almost always?  What is wrong in this post I made?  Do you think every uniform is identical on the same team?

I am curious as to whether a team could legally have different colored helmets on different players.  I've shown how they can and do have minor differences.
