Ugly helmets

[eagle73]

I don't know which is worse, Marylands "so busy you can't tell what the hell it is helmet" or Okie State's "what the heck is on that helmet". Just saying.....

Pics or it never happened

Admittedly, I don't know what the hell is on Okie State's helmets but it at least kind of blends into the helmet as an ugly black blob. Maryland's is the most ostentatious of any helmet ever. If I looked closely at the Terps' helmet I could probably find want ads, the Gettysburg Address and a Playboy centerfold.

Don't forget Waldo.

Although VA Tech's helmet did look like some sort of hard shelled candy.

I thought the VT one was pretty cool for a "theme" helmet. But Maryland...their helmets and uniforms overall are just crazy. I noticed that when I caught part of their win over FIU. What's up with the yellow dotted lines? "Passing allowed" zone? Or maybe labeling their butts as left turn lanes?

What did Ohio St do to their helmets? Looks like they contracted with Smith and Wesson for spare metal.

When are folks going to learn that's just the Maryland flag, which is ubiquitous with their school identity?!? I think it's awesome that they embrace that contrasting pattern like that.

Yes, I know the helmet has the Maryland flag on it. The flag is a mess too.

Yeah....I think there are a handful of helmets in college football you don't mess with.

Alabama, Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas......to name a few.

They should never mess with those helmets....

I can think of a MUCH better way to do a flag helmet than the Rorschach test of a paint scheme Maryland uses....

Sorry about the sloppy 4 a.m., after a Guinness Photoshop job...

I have no idea what school that is. Where is it written?

Geez, next thing you know we'll be putting some cow head or a player's number on the side of the helmet. NOBODY would recognize us.

We couldn't possibly mess with our decades of uniform tradition by doing something cool that potential recruits would love.

The flag is backwards. The star should be at the front.

I think our battle flag on the helmet is a great idea. However, it should be either flat on the side or waving (like the Texas Rangers Texas flag) on the side.

This is nice! I like it a lot! I wouldn't change a thing!

[Rudy]

I'd make the each side the NT Battle Flag. If we want a helmet for "special games", there you go.

[JesseMartin]

That's awesome. I'd play a rusty trombone if it would get us helmets like that.

i knew it was the Maryand flag the first time I saw it...

I also knew that it was disgustingly ugly
