This is what the helmet stickers should look like

Submitted by Blue and Joe on

There has been a lot of talk about helmet stickers in the last couple of days. I like the idea, but I'm very wary of the execution.

The stickers from Jim's era were kinda ugly and very big. In the classic photo of Jim and Bo you can count less than 20 stickers on the side of his helmet and it's more than half full.

  1. They are way too big.
  2. They distract from the glorious winged design.

Stickers are not what make the Michigan football helmet so iconic. That's OSU's thing. We should go with something more subtle.

My proposal is the thin block M. (click to enlarge)

I think it's a much cleaner look, and you can fit a lot more stickers on the helmet. Just my two cents.

To me it's similar to putting a bumper sticker on a car. If we are going to have them, How about maize smiley faces for good plays and frowny faces for bad plays.

This actually sways me to the stickers being cool.  It's not tacky at all.  Very subtle.  It suggests strengh rather than screaming it.
