ESPN article on OSU-Michigan helmet stickers

[Cruloc]

They put a lot of time into the stickers, had no idea.

How helmet decals tell the story of Ohio State and Michigan

The Buckeyes and Wolverines are two of 13 FBS teams that currently use helmet decals, but with different philosophies. This is the story of the history, application and operation of this shared but disparate tradition.

The folks in Ohio need to spend a little more time making their helmet stickers look a little less like anuses when viewed on your average TV screen...

I thought for the longest time they were marijuana plants. Silly me.

Very cool to read about the why's and when's of the stickers.

Agreed, but also glad Bama doesn't do that.

I'd probably feel differently if I had grown up seeing it, but I don't care for it.

What would we do though? Elephant Heads? Extra pin stripes? Maybe a small number that matches their helmet number? It’s just not workable with our current uniform style.

Uh, how about a white sticker with a crimson script "A" or just make our stickers in the shape of the CFP trophy. It's workable, if we were going to do it. I would prefer the UM way if Bama ever did this, different sitckers to represent different things but...

no, no, no. I never want to see stickers on our helmets.

Stickers are expensive to put on helmets. I’m sure Ohio State and Michigan can afford it though.

Maybe that's the look they were going for.

Cool article, thanks for posting it. I like the idea of helmet stickers, but I wouldn't hand out so many. I like that you can see how decorated each player is by looking at their helmet. I kind of wish we had these helmet stickers, but I don't think it would work with Bama's helmets. They would get in the way and it would be hard to read the numbers on the helmet.

I prefer UMs methodology for awarding them, and their helmets are iconic. But I love my Buckeyes.

I did like that for wins Ohio State players get 1 sticker....but for a win over Michigan they all get 3.

I agree, I like Michigan's methodology better and their stickers not all being the same.

A very tiny Houndstooth hat.

You beat me to it! It's called a Fedora......

I think the right size would look great. But I think that may be controversial here.....just don't care, still think it would look pretty good.

 

[CajunCrimson]

How about a Tin Horn as our sticker? And you only get them when you DON’T do your job

I do love those UM helmets, but I like Ohio State's colors better.
