May 1, 20205 yr I can't quite explain why, but strictly from a visual standpoint, I've never been a fan of the Michigan wing helmet. Just a personal opinion. I get its prominence in the history of the game.
May 1, 20205 yr i like the wings but the helmet stickers harbaugh brought back make them look like shit.

I think they look great and are an upgrade over the Princeton ones they're based on. The stickers are real dumb, especially when your hated rival pioneered them. Edited May 1, 20205 yr by texifornia

May 2, 20205 yr I think it’s cute when websites try and rank the best helmets. They often fail miserably so I thought I could put an end to the speculation and go ahead and out the definitive list here so we don’t have to talk about it anymore.The best helmets must have looks, tradition and be iconic. Added two alternate helmets for good measure.

If they could just reduce the size of it, maybe that would help. The Longhorn is so freaking big on the current iteration. The 2009 aggy game "throwback" uniforms looked pretty good actually and they had a collar shield logo.

Under Armour was offering us something obscene, and probably would have scrubbed off the collar logo no issue had we demanded it. Instead Perrin or whoever was the AD at the time gave Nike a sweetheart deal and basically fixed nothing.

Nike's generally better and more prestigious, but yeah we kind of hosed ourselves on the deal.

May 5, 20205 yr Another difference is none of the logos match the helmet logo exactly like ours does (usually an alternate or secondary logo). Having 3 Longhorns on the uniform is too much and borderline high school. A burnt orange/white (change with home/away) state of Texas with a star on Austin would be an option. Would also have the added bonus of pissing off aggy. But yeah short of black capes, literally anything would be better than our nascar'ed out bullshit we have worn since 2012 or whenever we changed.

I would be okay with leaving the Longhorn logo but removing the TEXAS lettering. We've had the TEXAS atop the numbers for a long time. Before the collar logo/Nike, anyway. It's also a branding thing at this point, if we take it off another in-state team will take the opportunity to do it instead.

I can take or leave the logo, but the jerseys have always looked better without the letters.

Why not against UTEP or something like that? I don't hate messing around with historic alternates in otherwise blah games. (Who's the other team in that pic by the way? UTEP/Texas Western? OK State?)

Instead Perrin or whoever was the AD at the time gave Nike a sweetheart deal and basically fixed nothing. it was plonsky who did the deal, and franky it was a fireable offense to negotiate such a weak deal, but our AD hasn't exactly been staffed with great forward thinkers for quite some time now.
May 6, 20205 yr Get rid of the collar patch. Get rid of "Texas" across the front. But, if I had one wish it would reconcile the font on the jerseys with the font for the numbers on the back of the helmet. Our jersey numbers would look something similar to the Chicago Bears. I hate that block script. Particularly the over sized font on the front of the jersey.

May 9, 20205 yr Consider me team TEXAS on the front. I like the throwbacks but they do look like practice jerseys to me. IMO our 2008 uni was perfection. Numbers on the side of the shoulder pad, appropriate sized font. Form fitting without doing that weird thing ours do now where the collar pops up on the sides of the neck. Pure greatness:

These are damn-near perfect baseball unis IMO: Edited May 10, 20205 yr by Hank Chinaski
