    I know this is quite a contest but SMU's "D" has got to be in there.

    SMU's are about two evolution cycles better than the Maryland helmets designed by UnderArmour as a tribute to their state flag. Worst helmets ever.

    Even Chuck Fairbanks' "pig helmets" were better than UMd. CU was/is/always has been & will be strapped for money. Fairbanks was widely criticized for spending $125,000 to have a buffalo logo designed by some graphics firm. Denver Post had it leaked to them, went out on the street to ask for opinions. Some overwhelming percentage thought it was a pig.

    Looked like one, but Fairbanks was too busy spending $75,000 redecorating his office at Folsom Field

    It is really amazing how far we have fallen, but Arkansas, Nebraska and Colorado...sad won way back. Missouri seems to have given up as well. I remember waiting in line for hours to get UT v SMU tickets. Crazy.

    I just looked at all D1 helmets.
    For me, it is tie between NC State and North Texas.
    Honorable mentions San Diego State (pretty bad), Western Kentucky, New Mexico State.

    Best??

    Congratulations on dodging that bullet. Bleaksburg makes Brazos County look like Highland Park, and Hokies are far worse than Aggies ever thought about being.

    That looks more like a trident than a pitchfork. Did he swipe it from Poseidon?

    I admit that I like the bass boat metallic orange, but that Pistol Pete is the scariest damn thing in football. I don’t mean scary in a good way. I’m sure little kids have nightmares whenever they see that freak of a mascot.

    Right now I’m watching the 1997 UT/OU game on LHN. I miss the helmets with the true “burnt orange” Bevo logo.
