The best helmets article (https://mikefarrellsports.com/college/best-helmets-in-college-football-dont-argue) got some people a bit upset. This might make a few even angrier. These traditional helmets are boring and overrated.

1. Penn State

A plain helmet can be iconic and cool, just ask Notre Dame. But white? With nothing? It’s always been the most boring helmet out there next to the NFL Browns.

2. USC

I like the tradition of not changing things, I respect that. I just don’t like the traditional helmet. It’s kind of plain and could be so much better.

3. Georgia

The Green Bay Packers already had this idea.

4. Texas A&M

Some of their alternate helmets are okay but overall this is a boring brand with average colors and little pop.

5. Boston College

They aren’t a national power so at least they could have a cool Eagle or some wings no? This is the kindergarten version of Notre Dame.

6. Washington

The chrome versions can look sharp but the solo letter helmets often fall short in my book.


Nov 11, 2023; Seattle, Washington, USA; The Washington Huskies celebrate after a fourth down defensive stop against the Utah Utes during the second half at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium.

7. Oklahoma

Texas has a cool and iconic helmet and brand. An interlocked O and U over crimson doesn’t do a ton for me.

8. Tennessee

Like Washington they have some okay alternates and I like the colors but again a single letter over white isn’t doing much for me.

9. Nebraska

Same as many of the others, not a lot of originality over a boring color slate.


Nov 26, 2021; Lincoln, Nebraska, USA; Nebraska Cornhuskers quarterback Logan Smothers (8) celebrates after scoring against the Iowa Hawkeyes during the first quarter at Memorial Stadium.

10. Maryland

I liked the old script Terps better than the M but all in all this is boring.
