Cujo Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Did Rutgers ever have a logo on their helmet? Their white R looks like a high school team. Yeah, they've changed it a handful of times.http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/bigeast.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Man, that site is unbelievable! It's even got tiny obscure D3 and NAIA schools. I played one year of college ball at a D3 school and it warmed my heart to see my helmet up there! On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

FiddySicks Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Besides...as you have said before...don't mess with tradition! Don't mess with tradition?? In every picture you just showed, they've got on a different uniform set. Orange jerseys one year, blue pants the next. Come on man! Thats because the Gay tors cant get their plop togather like better teams do. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

VitaminD Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Indiana University is the only state school (except SUNYs and Rutgers) that puts the state name ahead of the "University" in its official nameWhat about Ohio University? West Virginia University also.And winghaz, you probably think Ohio University should use the BOBCAT logo, since they do not have a wildcat logo. Jigga, thanks for clarifying my partial misstatement. Schools like Penn State, Ohio State and so on were not included in my statement. I did overlook Ohio U. and WVU, which should have been on that list.And I've been waiting for Nike to come to Jersey and build us UNJ. That basketball team would've been sweet if we kept our homegrown talent at home all these years - Troy Murphy, Tim Thomas, Jason Williams, Andrew Bynum... GO UNJ FIGHTIN' SWOOSHES! "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 And now, my picks for the best helmets by conference:ACC: Florida StateBig East: West VirginiaBig Ten: IowaBig 12: Texas without the numbers. If Texas keeps the numbers, then Texas A&MCUSA: Southern MethodistMid-American: AkronMountain West: Air ForcePac 10: Arizona StateSEC: ArkansasSun Belt: TroyWAC: Louisiana TechIndependents: TempleNow that's more like it. I think that Mid Tenn and FAU would be second and third, respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to stray too far from the topic...Dahntay Jones went to Rutgers for a little while anyway I know how you feel though, Virginia has had, Allen Iverson, Zo Mourning, JJ Redick, and if you count Oak Hill Academy post-grads, Jerry Stackhouse, Josh Smith, Carmelo Anthony, and countless other stars...lol.

winghaz Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 I will add this note: There are some helmets in various conferences that weren't picked as No. 1, but definitely are sharp helmets.Michigan, of course, is a classic.The Mountain West has a bunch of good ones. Utah and Wyoming are great helmets. And it's good to see BYU go back to its classics.The Pac 10 has some good ones -- UCLA and Washington State are just two examples. And the WAC has some real beauties. San Jose State, Fresno State and Hawaii are all great helmets. And I do like the Nevada helmet, even though I suggested they change.

sacker12 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I appreciate all of the kind remarks about my school's helmet. But, and I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but our school's name is Troy University, not Troy State University. The name change became official last month. Just wanted to clarify that.

He went through four different uniform manufacturers while at Florida: Champion his first two years, Starter for about five years, Reebok for two years, and then Nike for the rest of his tenure.

andrewharrington Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 This is the best helmet in college football...Especially when its full of these!

Gary Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 This is the best helmet in college football...Especially when its full of these! it's alright, it's number 2 in the Big T1e1n in my books, but my top 2 always will be Michigan and Arizona State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I don't think so, if you have to add something to the helmet to make it better, then it's obviously not as good as you think.

He went through four different uniform manufacturers while at Florida: Champion his first two years, Starter for about five years, Reebok for two years, and then Nike for the rest of his tenure. That wasn't spurrier it was the athletic dept. The entire school was Reebok including the basketball team, and then they all switched to Nike. Now everything on campus is Nike. It's just a money issue, but when Florida changed from Reebok to Nike they left the uniform style alone. The change was made between Starter and Reebok. Incidentally the SEC jersey logo changed at that point too and went from a round SEC in a circle to the NCAA logo with SEC inside on the collar of the jersey.

infrared41 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Indiana University is the only state school (except SUNYs and Rutgers) that puts the state name ahead of the "University" in its official nameWhat about Ohio University? He's right except for these...Ohio StateFlorida StatePenn stateColorado StateOklahoma StateUtah StateNew Mexico StateArizona StateNorth Carolina StateMichigan StateIndiana StateDelaware StateOregon StateWashington StateMississippi State...you get the point.I think what he meant to say is that they are one of the few state schools that refer to themselves as simply Indiana University. And yes Ohio University is another. I would guess that the reason for that is that they can't have two Indiana or Ohio States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
