Helmet Stickers:Yes or No
Just wondering what the board's opinion on this is. I'm pretty young so I've never known Michigan with helmet stickers, but after looking at some pictures they look kinda cool. I wouldn't mind either way but maybe they will motivate our players.
If we do get stickers, I'd like them to be block Ms, maybe that would look neater and less crowded.

What if they were stickers of your avatar?
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
Upgraded to a Maybe.

I really miss the old Mike Tyson!
January 23rd, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
In all reality, big time College football players are motivated by much more than stickers. I am for anything that give UM an advantage, but I don't thing helmet stickers are one of them.

it takes away from the Wings!!!
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:37 PM ^
They make the helmet look trashy. Coaches should find some other way of rewarding good performance.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:44 PM ^
the SEC seems to have found a way of giving the players incentive for quality play other than helmet stickers. lets not follow suit.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:44 PM ^
is switching to sports car stickers for 2011.
January 24th, 2011 at 2:13 AM ^
get inked in.

For the 80 millionth time.
On a related note--I'd like to see players' names removed from the backs of their jerseys.
The more old school, the better.

to see any other tradition than Kicking the shit out of Ohio St, MSU, Wisc, and ND and any and all non Conf foes up to and including bowl opponents. Make some recent history and a some new tradition
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:53 PM ^
now those are some traditions I can get behind, hopefully they all start up in 2011! no helmet stickers for me, the wings are all that are needed.

He has to consult the mafia before deciding on helmet stickers? This guy knows which side the bread is buttered.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:38 PM ^
Why mess with helmet perfection?
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:38 PM ^
I am a fan of them.
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:12 PM ^
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
i agree, i dont like them.
but if they do decide to bring them back, they need better lookin stickers.
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
Did anyone see the special on hemet stickers this year? I think it was done on game day. The teams that have them, love them. It's a good way of showing a players status.
More stickers = better on field performance
Less stickers = get your act together
They are extremely motivating and give players an incentive to perform and use textbook techniques to win games.
I'm not the biggest fan of the actual stickers though, I like the idea. Is there anything else Michigan could put on there that would look a little better?
Could anyone picture the Desmond Heisman pose without them?
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
Please no. That's Buckeye Bullsh**. And they're ugly. They only kind of work on a helmet that's otherwise bare. Ours is already perfect, and has plenty going on.
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:48 PM ^
Bo would disagree
January 24th, 2011 at 1:28 AM ^
Actually Bo was the one that started the helmet sticker tradition. Woody then copied the idea.
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^
I remember having them in high school. Skull & cross bones for sacks and double-digit tackle games, then footballs for every 5 tackles. It certainly displayed the playmakers on the team.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:38 PM ^
i wouldn't be surprised if Hoke brings them back, but I think it's better without them
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
I'd rather not but I wouldn't really care if we did.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
I like em because that's how the helmets looked when I was a kid and first fell in love with UofM watching Desmond. Brings back memories.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
I don't like them but it makes the players work/practice harder, imo.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
The helmet, looks infinitely better without the stickers.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
Bo - Yes
Moeller - Yes
Lloyd - No
RichRod - No
Hoke - ???
Did SDSU use helmet stickers?
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
According to Google images, no.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:47 PM ^
I'm looking at pictures of SDSU from last year, and it doesn't look like they have any, but if anyone knows, feel free to correct me
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
NO FREAKING HELMET STICKERS!!!
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
January 23rd, 2011 at 10:18 PM ^
I couldn't help but think that smile reminded me of Desmond...That got me to looking and he sure got some dental work done with the new job didn't he! Still the man!
p.s. kick Herbstreit in the nuts for me would ya
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
Im pretty impartial about it. I think they look better without them, but if they help performance (even a little), then Im on board for them.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
Why mess with something so perfect already?
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
Because Bo used them...
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
Because Bo used them...
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
It wouldn't bother me. But the idea that Section 1 would probably write a diary about how Rich Rodriguez would have never got away with it makes me lean toward yes.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
what if they were nike swooshes?
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
no it is.
January 23rd, 2011 at 7:46 PM ^
Nike Pro Combat helmet stickers..
January 23rd, 2011 at 9:37 PM ^
I am surprised nike hasn't done this to some team already.
