DMV Baby!

Department of Motor Vehicles?

We hear that from all of the outsiders!

Well, that's because:

A. To everyone else DMV is the department of Motor Vehicles, and

B. You still haven't explained whatever it is you think DMV stands for.

district (dc) / maryland / virginia

I am all for going away from this "Terps" business on the football helmets, mostly because I despise wordmarks as a helmet design. Although a Terrapin/turtle isn't the most inspiring animal to use as a mascot, it's not the worst either. They could do something with the elements of the shell, perhaps rebranding the turtle as a kind of tank.

Also, according to Wikipedia, the Diamondback Terrapin is native to Maryland (and it mentions a Roman military tactic: the Testudo/turtle formation). They could really do a great job rebranding this team and ditching the banal "Terps" helmet that looks like it belongs in a commercial where they use two fake football teams.

I'm pretty much expecting this to find its way on the helmet.

No complaints there, but the idea of making the helmet resemble a turtle shell sounds pretty badass. Maybe a subliminated pattern resembling a terrapin shell would work. But that would also go against the whole "de-emphasizing the nickname" thing.

Or they could go in a completely unexpected direction and bring back these beauties used from '72-'81:
