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.

i like the wings but the helmet stickers harbaugh brought back make them look like shit.

Agreed. 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.

The only helmet ASU should wear, IMO.

[Mileslong 4714]

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.

Wouldn't surprise me. 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.

We lost a big chance to turn the screws on Nike when our uniform and apparel contract came up for renewal a few years ago. 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.

The difference is none of the above have the school name in addition to the logo.

I would be okay with leaving the Longhorn logo but removing the TEXAS lettering.

[stone oak 639]

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.

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.

Agreed. The logo isn’t the problem, TEXAS is, and it’s even worse now that it’s in letters you can see from space.

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

If they really wanted to shake things up, they could go with a 1950s throwback. Back when we had striped helmets.

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?)

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.  

[Underdog 28450]

Never was much of a fan but lately Auburn's uni/helmet has grown on me. 

[Saint Tacky 1610]

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.

That list in total is just terrible. The MSU, NDU, and Clemson ones in the top ten are terrible. The best of the images they show are UNC and Tulane.

Yep, that look is great.  Just lose the 100  football sticker on the helmet, and it's perfect.  The white away jersey in the same style would be awesome as well

Abso-fucking-lutely. Its perfect (w/o the "100").

[TankedBevo 2482]

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:

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I've always thought that the baseball unis would be better with the all-burnt orange caps - I know the white/orange brim are traditional, but I love the orange ones.

These are damn-near perfect baseball unis IMO:
