twi Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Does anyone know why some players have a single gray stripe down the middle of their helmet? Most do not. Perhaps a senior thing or something? It looks really odd (at least to me) to have some players' helmets be so obviously visually different.

CDixonDesign Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Interesting to say the least, I'm glad you had that Info, anyone know if anyone else does anything like this? The stripe is such a huge part of the identity of the helmet, having a special stripe is a big deal...Here's one of the images I found for those of you interested: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twi Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 I wonder if it starts anew every season, or if you keep it for the remainder of your collegiate career. Hard to believe that a 1000 yard rushing QB didn't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezee12 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I have always wondered what the stripe was for. Just firgured it was a way to say goodbye to the senior towards the end of the season. Great information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hmmm....never noticed that and I'm not too sure how I feel about it. I'm usually not a fan of tinkering with major elements of a helmet...and in my opinion, a helmet stripe is a major helmet. I'm all for the little stickers that are utilized by many colleges to acknowledge great performances (i.e. Ohio State Buckeye stickers) but I'm still not too sure about an entire helmet stripe.
