Title: Coolest Helmet
Post by: catsfan20052006 on August 14, 2008, 04:06:18 PM
On College Football Live they've been having a tournament style debate as to which school has the best helmet. The Finals were between Florida State and Alabama and Florida State won. When they did a non scientific survey of players from across the nation K-State's own Chris Carney voted for "The U"!

No love for the Powercat. Not even from one of our own. 

:nono:

 He couldn't vote for ksu because we were not even in the poll. It would be like voting for jordy nelson for president.  :users:

Alabama?  That's kinda like saying the Browns have the best helmets in the NFL.   :rolleyes:

The Georgia "G" Helmet

The unique Georgia helmet featuring the oval "G" has become a tradition that is known across the country as the logo of the Georgia Bulldogs. The basic design was instituted by Vince Dooley when he became head coach in 1964. He had been impressed with the look of the helmet worn by the Green Bay Packers which featued the oval "G" but in a different color scheme. Dooley settled on the black oval "G" surrounded by a white oval background resting on each side of the bright red helmet. A white stripe was placed over the top. The design has remained basically the same ever since; however, a smaller black stripe was added inside the white stripe over the top in 1996 by new head coach Jim Donnan."

There's really no debate that CU nailed it on team colors and football helmet.  I mean, c'mon.

Yep, considering that silver and gold are actually the official schools colors while black is not. Silver and gold team apparel doesn't make for very good recruiting parties.

Unless they're silver G-strings and gold medallions that say "rape me."

I think we have a chance of winning this thing once we ditch the powercat and get all black unis.

Ugly.  Airbrushed fade???  The only thing missing is "I Love Misty" or "Teal Dream" or a Unicorn and a rainbow airbrushed over the logo.
