The Michigan helmet looks like something out of the 1930’s and Penn State’s looks like something the ice cream vendor would wear.

I don't think that's oregon primary helmet this year. Generation O

[DonaldMains]

You do realize that Penn State's helmet is white, completely white, nothing but white, with a single black stripe, don't you? How does that qualify for anything but BAD!

Iowa
USC
UCLA
MSU
Washington

Helmets should be graded on color scheme, style, history and are unique.

Let’s be honest. Notre dame has the best helmet in all of college football

[RidgeRider]

USC fan here. Of course our helmet is elite. BUT, no one can deny that Michigan's is the most iconic.

[ronwilkinson]

Oregon will have completely new Uniform and helmet designs this season. Do some research

[ericbejcek]

Elite: MSU, UoM, Iowa, OSU

No other logo gets confused as Team Rocket or red ribbon army. Rutgers logo is elite for anime fans.

Professionals using “mid” is the funniest thing ever

[thomasburns]

Their ratings were nuts. See below for the unbiased opinion of graphic designers.

Elite= Michigan, Michigan State, USC, Oregon, Maryland (flag helmet)
Good = Iowa, Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue (with track stripe), Minnesota
Mid = Illinois, Rutgers, Washington, Wisconsin
Bad = Ohio State, Penn State, UCLA, Nebraska.

Penn state elite!? Really, they have the worst helmet/uns in college. They look like a team who uniforms were lost and had to go a get unis from Academy sports just to wear a uni for the game.

[bobbietaccio]

Can we now retire the word 'mid' since these two completely ruined it? I need those 7 minutes back

[stevekohl]

Putting Ohio State and Michigan in the same league as the Iowa helmet is crazy. Iowa (MBA '80; JD '83) is much better.

[pilroberts]

Total arbitrary silliness. Doesn't like the Rutgers 'R' but likes the Washington 'W'. Doesn't like Rutgers' color (red) but like Maryland's color (red). Doesn't like Spartans Helmet because there is another Spartan team and totally ignores the cool unique helmet. Then calls USC elite even though the warrior on the helmet is not as clean or classic as the Spartan helmet. Good grief this guy is a bozo.

Factors which go into such a rating; must be limited to the look of the helmet. If we start judging the program by its history or record, we no longer evaluate the helmet but the program. Sticking to the helmets...

Some comments - Oregon, just tacky. MI unique, a bit overrated but unique.

Elite: Iowa, Michigan State
Good: Michigan, UCLA, USC, Ohio State
Mid: Minnesota (college color and more stylized vs block letter), Wisconsin, Indiana, Nebraska (yes just a block letter but it kind of fits with the stark ruralness of Nebraska in general. Plus red on field of white is more stand out than some of the other combos in the bad category)
Bad: Northwestern (but I do like the purple), Rutgers, Maryland, Oregon, Penn State, Purdue

Top 3 helmets:

1. Michigan
2. USC
3. Penn Stats

[MrDellaSC]

She doesn’t know WTF she’s talking about. Nebraska at the minimum should be in the Good column, and probably deserves to be in the elite column.

[BANGER]

The w on the Wisconsin helmet stands for 🏆 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
