Something needs to be done about the helmet stickers (pic)
I'll admit that when coach Harbaugh announced the return of helmet stickers I was lukewarm about the idea because a) I grew up in an era where Michigan did not wear them and b) I prefer the clean and classic look of the winged helmet.
As the season has gone on they have grown on me a bit, however it's becoming clear (just take one look at Jabrill Peppers helmet) that the criteria for the stickers is either too lax or that the stickers themselves are too big. I mean this looks ridiculous and cluttered no?
Yes, I realize life is good when this is what we have to complain about, but can we get some smaller stickers next year so our beautiful helmets don't look so busy? I don't think that's too much to ask. Perhaps something like this (EDIT: for Firstbase's idea for helmet stickers)

(A) Don't care. Harbaugh.
(B) When players earn stickers beyond the helmet's ability to carry them, I think there already is a board in the locker room that displays the additional stickers.
(C) Before reducing the sticker size, I'd simply make stickers that are worth 10 conventional stickers. Just reverse the colors on the current stickers, and make those worth ten. That'll take care of it better than smaller stickers.

As long as players aren't receiving stickers for plays during losses Im not upset

For some team, winning the game is a pre-requisite for earning a sticker.

I think the reason they are earning so many helmet stickers is bcuz they are competing at every level of football and school. If everything is a competition then your going to have a lot of helmet stickers. I love the helmet stickers but i do feel that they are going to run out of room on the helmets for some of our players lol. I think Harbaugh gives out helmet stickers for more then just what you do on gameday also.

anymore. I really don't.

The helmet stickers are the perfect size. Loved em in the 1970s and YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE THEM TOO!

Since Harbaugh is giving them out I'm going to assume he has a formula and reason for what he does. If he papers their helmets with pink flamingos and it make them blood thirsty killers on the FB that win games...then I'm a pink flamingo lover...

Send this to Harbaugh's office. 100% serious.
November 11th, 2015 at 5:08 PM ^
Why don't you let the Coaches who give them out and players who earn them worry about the criteria to earn them and how they look.

I hate to say it but I've been admiring the MSU helmet stickers from afar this season. The block 'S' ones, not the spears or whatever the other ones are. They're small and they stack nicely. Part of the problem with ours is the oblong shape so they just don't stack well.

I am sure the team is very thankful of your tolerance. As they do not want to upset their lord and master the Glove.

It is the players and coaches choice. I support Harbaugh's choice to have these exact stickers and I would assume the players would feel comfortable enough to weigh in if they thought they should be imporoved or eliminated. I spend zero seconds during the games evaluating how I feel about the uniforms/helmets. You should too.

You'll find it a whole lot easier in life if you just control the things you have control over (like not reading these threads) than it is telling other people what to do (not to create or post in them and just do what you say).

if someone in the press asked Harbaugh about the sticker size. I'm sure his answer would be epic.
November 12th, 2015 at 11:14 AM ^
or that Harbaugh can't choose what he wants to do, but I'll just ask this question. When you look at all the other classic college football helmets (notre dame, usc, penn st, alabama), none of them employ helmet stickers, and none of them seem to have problems recruiting. Really, the only other classic helmet that features stickers are the buckeyes (maybe there is anoher exception). Taking out things like Bo's and Harbaugh's preference, tradition, motivation, reward, etc, just ask yourself what looks better, the traditional, uncluttered winged helmet (the best helmet ever), or what they're wearing now? When you have to pose arguments about the size of the stickers, perhaps the answer is more obvious than you think.
