RichO Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I guess it's always supposed to have had that slight tilt to it, but when I was growing up, I don't recall it appearing tilted on the helmets and uniforms.It was straight as I remember. This seems like something from the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESTONES6 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Not sure when this started, but the paw tilt looks great on the helmet when it is facing forward. But what I have noticed is that the paw print is always tilted to the right when looking at it. If you notice the Clemson helmet, on one side, the paw is facing the facemask, on the other side its facing the back of the helmet.

dfwabel Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It was designed with a ten degree tilt to the right (aka one o'clock). http://m.clemsontigers.com/mobile/ViewArticle.dbml?atclid=207997764&DB_MENU_ID=&SPSID=&SPID=&DB_OEM_ID=28500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tygers09 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Now I looked into this and some sites that have helmet histories (mghelmets.com, misterhabs,etc), and some are saying 1977, but I thought it was just recently, like within the last decade or so..

WSU151 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just did a quick search on Getty Images. 2003 looks to be the first year the decals were tilted. Also in 2003, the decal decreased in size pretty noticeably.The weird thing is the logos on the shoulders and pants have been tilted (by design, as noted above) for a couple decades.It looks like Dabo brought the large decals back to the helmets in 2009. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
