I Ranked All 130 Division I College Football Helmets — How Does Your School Stack Up?

Way too similar to an older FSU helmet. I like the idea of having "Atlantic" on there, but it feels very rehashed.

They have so many alternate helmets. A lot of these lower-ranked colleges should stick to one and create an identity. How about just the giant blue "K"?

WKU has a cool helmet color and face mask, but I wished they were more creative with a logo design.

I really prefer their wolf logo over the word "Pack"; otherwise, this would be higher on the list.

It's an angry green wave ready to throw hands. Hey, it's original.

Cool color scheme, but I wish they had a better idea for a logo design.

Points for the mustache.

A classic look, and I like the numbers on the back of the helmet underneath the stripe.

Nothing about the helmet really stands out, but it has potential.

A fun, goofy logo that is lost on an all-black helmet. I don't get the thinking behind this one.

The Red Wolves have a cool logo, so why not use it on the helmet?

When I was younger, I always thought this was Army playing.

How can you hate on a beaver?

Love the logo, and a silver helmet always looks good.

Not an overly inspired helmet, but I like the text.

I really wish the pirate hat was not also purple, but I like the logo and purple. How about a yellow pirate hat with purple "ECU" letters? Just so it pops more.

I like the blue on blue with the face mask and the helmet.

I actually like Florida International's helmets a lot. Kind of reminiscent of LSU's helmet.

Dare I say, Oregon has too many alternate helmets and uniforms. If they had one they consistently wore that was good, they would probably be top 50.

The arch of the logo is solid.

The font of the "KU" is nice, but I'd consider removing the stripe.

The yellow pops on the red helmet, but a yellow face mask would work better.

I actually like the state of Louisiana being incorporated on this one with the "T."

Nothing overly special, but still a classic look. Blue helmets with white text usually look great.

The Cardinals might be the most overdone mascot in sports, and being Ball State, they could have red text "Ballin'" on their helmets.

Many variations of this helmet, but usually the same logo, which is good. It's better than the cowboy logo.

Not too many blue tigers out there, but that's what makes these helmets fun.

Very reminiscent of the '70s Philadelphia Eagles' Kelly green helmets.

The diamond stripe is solid, and the logo has a great traditional look.

Seen it before, but the colors work well together.

Not a fan of the lighter-colored helmet. They should go back to the '90s color.

The color of the helmet is great, but they could do something more with the logo.

I honestly prefer these to the "Diet Arizona Cardinals" uniforms.

The big cartoon wolf isn't as good as their "NC State" white helmets.

Wish they used the silver helmets more, but I like these, too.

I prefer the big bulldog.

It figures. One of the teams I prefer wearing black helmets uses their alternates more. They're still very cool, though.

I wouldn't change a thing about this helmet.

They have had many variant helmets, but these are their best.

Meh. They are unlike any others, at least color-wise.

Yay, frogs!

I like the black face mask with the white helmet.

These helmets look like they belong in the Arena Football League, and that's a compliment. Very fun and original.

The font is really good, and I like the positioning of it on the helmet.

A simple logo is sometimes better than a cartoon mascot.

One of the better black helmet–dark logo combos.

Always liked the font of the "C" and the white face mask.

Another one of those teams where I turn on the channel and know right away what team I'm looking at. Identity is important for a good helmet.

Silver and blue...Middle Tennessee is the first team I think of...don't ask me why.

Can't say these don't look original.

A weird color combination, but it works for them.

The reflective helmet always looks good under the sun.

The face mask is the best part, but the helmet is still pretty good.

The colors are really distinct.

The regal "R" looks good on the white helmet.

The white face mask pops with the "N."

Not a huge fan of using flags as the helmet scheme, but Maryland fans love it.

Golden Gophers with a golden helmet? Makes sense.

The purple and silver looks great, as does the triple stripe.

The yellow outline of the cowboy being bucked is nice, but the brown is a choice.

I like the dark tone of the helmet with the bright letter "C."

The logo is very cartoonish and fantastic.

My only comment is that the face mask should match the font color of the logo or the "UTEP" letters should be white. Other than that, solid helmets.

Maybe one of my favorite straight-up logos.

The "Rambling Wreck" has always had some sweet helmets.

The pickax to create the "C" is an example of how every team can spice up their simple letter logos.

Love the big bull logo, and the all-blue works in this case.

I really prefer the blue helmets, but I still love the logo and swordlike stripe.

I actually like the cursive with the colors. The white outline is great.

That's a big ol' bronco head.

I honestly prefer this logo over the Buffalo Bills'.

Very similar to Boise State, but I love the color scheme more.

From the anchor and chain to the matte black helmets, *chef's kiss*.

Little rocket? Yes, please. Fun design.

Love the bobcat logo, but the color scheme is also very original.

Gold = Fighting Irish. Classics.

A very simple design, and the white face mask goes great with the Sooner red.

Maybe the only team where I like the pride stickers.

I can't think of a single team with a black-and-yellow color scheme that looks bad. Plus, the logo is crisp.
