RIP Left Eye
Don't know if you lived during the same 90's as I did, but she was pretty much considered a fashion icon during that decade. As eccentric as her style was, to say those hideous helmets are something that remind you of her tastes is either an incredible insult to her, or a huge compliment to the helmets.

The main thing that bothers me...
The main thing that bothers me...
...is that schools that pride themselves on tradition are going away from it. Though I do disdain Notre Dame, one of the coolest traditions in college football was that the students painted those gold helmets before every game. Since they've gone to their fancy gilded dome look, they've lost that. Just another small piece of tradition that's lost in favor of a little flash in the spotlight. OTOH - to hell with Notre Dame.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

With all the stupid/thoughtless things players put on twitter, it must be that the players are warned/threatened not to say anything about the ridiculous stuff they are made to wear, right?
I mean, otherwise how could none of the Wisconsin or Nebraska players have complained last week. Or any of the ND players comment this week?
Even so, it is kind of amazing that no one comments as to the stupidity of some of the uniform decisions

I thought the shamrock in UTL was pretty cool. These 1/3 leprechaun things are the worst but I am a whore for semetrical helmets and design in general.

If you have ever said, "Dave
If you have ever said, "Dave Brandon and Adidas could never touch the wings, that is a tradition unlike any other and is too iconic to alter" I'm sure Notre Dame fans said the same thing. If it can happen to them, it can happen to us. "Oh, the shamrocks on the helmets weren't that bad," does that remind you of: "Oh, the numbers on the helmets weren't that bad"? Times are a-changing, my friends. Don't come crying when Michigan decides to invert the colors of the wings or overlay a big block M over the wings.

Don't think they'd invert the colors...
Don't think they'd invert the colors...
But I could definitely see them trying to split the helmet, half traditional...half maize with a blue block M (or blue with a maize block M).
If they do, I'm not sure Adidas would have a headquarters. Also, Coach Hoke would never allow it, EVER. Don't think Brandon would either.

I'm willing to bet
I'm willing to bet
I'm willing to put my integrity as a man on the line when I say that I don't believe that the winged helmet will ever be touched. We've seen numbers, we've seen grey facemasks. But the maize and blue winged helmet will be worn every game from now until the last game U of M plays, without taking a game off. Even Brandon understands that the WINGED HELMET is our brand.

had to warn Bo off when Bo told him "the first thing I'm going to do is get rid of those silly helmets." Thank god for supportive former coaches in those days.
There were no wings during Yost's coaching career, although he was AD through the first three years of the Crisler (and hence, wings) era.

We are lucky in the sense that the winged helmet is flashy to begin with. The kids love it. Every year we get at least one recruit that comes for the helmets. We don't have to screw with it to create some flash for the 17 year old recruits.

What you're forgetting, of course...
What you're forgetting, of course...
is that ND sported a shamrock on their helmets from 1959-1962. The shamrock designs are actual throwbacks (which "you" should of course remember since you totally graduated in 1961 and aren't a figment of anyone's imagination).
