If we are being technical and smartass-ish and all that shit, Sparty actually donned a "winged helmet" before us but that doesn't diminish the greatness of our unis, does it?  Most everyone back in the day had a form of the "winged helmet" but the Michigan unis are great because they haven't been changed in forever (unlike sparty) and weren't copied from a pro team (unlike Iowa).

Edit:  And what has been mentioned above, we brought in the man who invented the helmets anyways.

Isnt the story that when Hayden Frey got to Iowa, he changed the unis to mirror Pittsburgh because at the time the Steelers were the best team in football (1970s)? ... so that should disqualify their unis...cause they are a direct copy... though they do look nice.

Its good to see that the Nebraska ballot stuffers somehow missed this poll too.

Should tell @BTNBrentYarina that his poll just got fixed, since there's been a swing from 70% to 46% in a half an hour.

But even so, he is bright enough to understand the difference between getting a lot of people to vote (in a poll that only lets you vote once) and a bot manufacturing votes? All of Iowa could have voted and it wouldn't have swung that much that fast. It won't even let me type in the text part of the comments section.

All those Iowa guys not getting laid on a Saturday night are running up the score.

Apparently, even their bots are not getting laid.
