Do you foresee helmet stickers returning?
I believe it was Mo to Lloyd which transitioned into just the winged helmet. With such a loyal ambition to Bo do you think JH will revive this incentive for players or do you stand with a non-cluttered beauty which is the symbol of all that is Michigan?

Harbaugh had them at Stanford.
Though for some reason I can't embed a link to my photobucket shot of the Stanford guys with them. Sorry.

With inverted colors, the wolverines would stand out and the wings would pop.

would you tell JH he couldn't use them?
That would be ridiculous and something DB would do. Who gives a fuck. Whatver JH wants should be fine by me and everyone else at this point, given the state of the program.

I remember the helmet stickers and believe that they are a historic a part of the winged helmet. I don't like how some teams, Ohio, seem to use them way too much. I believe they should be given out judicially and not for showing up to practice. Notice I said practice and not class!

My answer: whatever Harbaugh wants.
Seriously. That's my answer. Whatever the heck Jim Harbaugh thinks will make us a better team (and isn't dishonest, obviously), I'm for.
Stickers look classic.
Clean helmets look classic.

I don't think it is necessary to improve what is already a masterpiece.

I hope he brings back the Bo-style coaches cap with the thin, clean looking block M. Lloyd went with a fatter block M, and of course, Brady went hatless.

he can wear an app state cap if he wants as long as he is on our sideline!

I think the helmet stickers should be block M's.

Whatever they do...just get rid of legends jerseys. Let these kids leave their own legacies. Instead of playing in the shadows of the past...
December 27th, 2014 at 6:43 PM ^
As a kid I remember Rick Leach had so many of them you could barely see the wings. I thought it was cool back then. But I like seeing our iconic helmet. I can go either way and will leave it up to coach Jim!

If the players like it I don't see why it'd be a bad thing to bring back. Like a lot of people have said already, I've never seen them in my lifetime, so I can live without them but also wouldn't mind them being there...

They will be "clean" for the first game each season.
December 27th, 2014 at 7:30 PM ^
Always been in the minority here, but I love the stickers. It reminds me of the MIchigan I watched as a child. The Ricky Powers, the Desmond Howards and Derrick Alexanders, and the Grbac, Dreisbachs, and Wheatleys.
I would love to see them return. Maybe "clean" helmets could be an alternate or "throwback" style.

1. They clutter up the helmets aesthetically.
2. They represent individual achievement over team achievement, even if they're structured in such a way as to maximally align with team interests.
December 27th, 2014 at 7:39 PM ^
1. They add a nice touch aesthetically
2. They represent individual achievement in the PURSUIT of team acheivement
3. They represent a significant and tangible link to the success of our recent past

Couple more recent photos of M success, sans helmet stickers.
December 27th, 2014 at 7:59 PM ^
A comparison of our pictures.......
Bo Schembechler (yes to helmet stickers) 194-48-3
Lloyd Carr (no to helmet stickers) 122-40
Rich Rodriguez (no to helmet stickers) 15-22
Pretty sure the jury has reached a verdict here.
December 27th, 2014 at 8:20 PM ^
Yost was the most successful coach in M history and didn't use winged helmets, Crisler invented them and didn't put stickers on his player's helmets. 2/3 Heisman winners didn't have helmet stickers and neither did 11/11 national championship teams. No disrespect to Bo, but I wouldn't say helmet stickers were vital to M success and I wouldn't call Moeller's teams recent.
My dislike is just aesthetics so I won't pretend to tell anyone how to think, but I love seeing the wings, stickers not so much.
Also, not that it's important but the Denard picture was taken at the Sugar Bowl in Hoke's first season.
