But let me tell you about some of my favorites.
First off, I think the BEST helmet would go to the Idaho State Bengals of 1962.

The SECOND BEST helmet would go to the Portland State Vikings of 1999-2001.

The THIRD BEST helmet has to go to (I can't believe I am going to write this) but the Montana Grizzlies of 1988-1995.

The University of Montana's official colors have for many years been silver, copper, and gold (in recognition of the state's mining industry), but a set of "spirit colors" which are used by the school's athletic teams was adopted in about 1996; these are maroon, silver, and gold.
Any school that uses copper in its scheme can't be that bad right? Right? Ok, I like their helmet, still not their school.
The U of M actually brought back the uniforms this season for their home game against Montana State. The uniforms are terribly ugly, but the helmets are cool.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love stuff from random schools. I own many random college t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats simply because they look original. That is why the Griz make the list. Based on appearance alone.
HONORABLE MENTION: The Eastern Washington Eagles of 2000-present.

Which leads me to the top 3 WORST helmets in the history of the Big Sky teams.
The WORST helmet goes to the Idaho State Bengals of 1992-1996.

But I don't like this helmet because they stole the University of Miami "U" and tried to jam it in there with the "IS". WAY too much going on.
The SECOND worst helmet goes to the Sacramento State Hornets of 2001.

And finally, the THIRD worst helmet goes to the Montana State Bobcats of 1961.

Honorable mention: The Weber State Wildcats of 1980-1996.

And that is my top 3 best and worst of football helmets of the teams in the Big Sky history.
Brandon is going to kill you for putting Montana in the top 3!
ReplyDeleteThe Idaho State helmet from 1992-96 was a direct copy of the University of Miami logo, as the football and equipment staff actually talked with Dennis Erickson and got his approval. ISU also had a lot of Miami and South Florida guys at that time....the uniforms were identical to Miami as well...
ReplyDeleteApparently Casey is a closet Montana fan...
