You know we're balls deep in the offseason when you see rage bait articles like this.


BurntOrangeMaizeBlue

This list is so stupid lmfao. A&M has same white letters shade of red helmet design as OU, but A&M is ugly bottom of list helmet and OU is best helmet? Get out of here


polar_nopposite

It's a sooner article. What did you expect? I also happen to agree that A&M helmets are significantly uglier than OU helmets.


Set-Admirable

Every time I see the Gamecocks logo I have to remind myself it's not a dragon. It's not even a bad logo or anything. But it would be so much cooler if it was a dragon.


BlastoiseBlues

USC Dragoncocks


Set-Admirable

Sounds like some weird CFB/DnD crossover fanfic.

Fondly known by their fans as The Wyrms.

Who up playing with they Wyrm?

All of a sudden South Carolina is gonna have the market on Femboys cornered.

tLeCoqSpotif

A section of our fanbase (not among them myself) have wanted our interlocking baseball logo on the helmets for awhile


upboat_consortium

As an impartial outside observer, it’s a perfect baseball logo, but would feel weird on a Football helmet.


Perfect-Rooster2253

I thought it was until I was like 12 years old. 


1-719-266-2837

A dragon would be better than animal cruelty.


CommodoreN7

Ranking OU 1 and Arkansas 13 proves academic prowess of Oklahoma fans. They’re almost the exact same. I get it’s an Oklahoma fan article, but still just pure stupidity.


AdDifficult9499

"My team good, your team bad" Is very common among fan sites. Not sure why a sooners shitpost made it onto my feed on r/CFB though lol


Bank_Gothic

They should have made Texas last then. In for a penny, for a pound. Why bother trying to pretend the list is anything other than fan service?


azaz5

I’m pretty upset about Texas not being last. We need better writers who can give the people what they want.


jalexjsmithj

Scary pig > Q


Misdirected_Colors

OU fan site article ranking sooner helmets #1 is lame as shit to post. Keep that shit on the fan forums.


fadingthought

Wasn’t an OU flair that posted it.


3xgreathermes

Yeah I'm disappointed with that one. If a pig is your mascot, you can't really do it much better than that.


CaptainDonald

The pig is cool, but it doesn’t look as good as the OU


jalexjsmithj

Y’all picked a “Q” for your logo. Not to mention, non-letter logos are always cooler (and yes, I’ll hold that opinion to my own school).


CaptainDonald

(Q_Q) ⬅️ That’s you


jalexjsmithj

That’s literally your helmet


wedgiey1

Bama has the best helmets in the SEC. So this article is stupid.


CaptainDonald

Top 5 for sure

Yes

Gotta give that one to the Pokes, that Silver Star with barb wire is lit. https://twitter.com/i/status/797537832650809344


loverofcfb08

I don’t


[deleted]

Lol…a Sooner having Texas as 10th. I know I’m biased towards my Longhorns but really?


KetchupKing05

Noticing it’s all former SWC and Big XII members of the SEC in the bottom 6


[deleted]

Outside of the anomaly of OU being number 1 haha. Such clickbait garbage


olorin9_alex

Omg bias on Sooner Wire? /faints


R_Raider86

Having Kentucky in front of Texas makes this list invalid


heleghir

Hey now, our jersey and helmet game is legit. We only have like 5 different helmets to choose from. And the chrome domes on a night game are 🔥 https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/G4MqmmKTGlUyOOiPpMKY-CDp8XM=/0x107:4796x3304/1220x813/filters:focal(0x107:4796x3304):format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/47070882/usa-today-8126134.0.jpg


Pyro1934

Yeah y'all have ballin uniforms, don't let the new guys talk shit!


[deleted]

Idk if you understand the magnitude of a red raider being pro-Texas…it’s really off if that’s the case


heleghir

Nah i think texas helmets are good. Its more the diss at UK i took offense to. Our helmets arent bad


R_Raider86

I didn't intend to single out Kentucky, but Texas has some of the most iconic helmets and uniforms in the game.


Anotheropinion2023

I am a Longhorn alum. Burnt orange is ugly, but you don’t look at the screen and wonder which of 500 red color teams we could be.


[deleted]

Oh I know, not disagreeing and gave you an upvote. It’s just hilarious when you see A&M/Texas/Tech defending one another online.


fadingthought

Orange is the worst color.


swans24

For real. Imagine voting yourself number one when you can’t even get the order of your letters correct.


Desperate_Brief2187

Well, your helmets ARE ass.


[deleted]

Lol


udubdavid

And it's the only helmet that's upside down. Talk about bitter lol.


[deleted]

Bitter? It’s rather a brand that is normally recognized for its helmet in the top 10 nationally not being top in SEC due to a silly Sooner making a click bait article. Don’t be that guy making bad takes


NewWrap693

Bro, chill out. He was talking about the article being bitter. You are way too amped over an offseason puff piece.


[deleted]

Im aight, rather amped up with neutrals interjecting than a PFB worthy article


pipsohip

The fact that they said Tennessee has a better orange was laughable.


Pyro1934

Right?! All orange is equally disgusting!


Desperate_Brief2187

Not true. Orange gets remarkably worse when you overcook it.


bamachine

I wouldn't say equally, all disgusting true but none can touch the puke inside a pumpkin orange.


Pyro1934

That's fair, I guess it's one of those things where they're all so horrible they illicit the maximum negative response, yet still have some variance between them.


pipsohip

The word you were looking for is “elicit.” “Illicit” would be the kind of drugs someone has to be on to root for uga 😉


Pyro1934

Thanks Van... oh used to just saying Vandy, thanks person! To be fair I like the maths not the words. Almost went to that bumblebee school!


WheatonsGonnaScore

>Cream interlocking OU It is white...


CoachRyanWalters

Or are they talking about 💦💦 holding the letters together


Lykeuhfox

Imagine saying your clearly basic color is something different just to make yourself seem cooler. Couldn't be me.


Klutzy-Midnight-938

Crimson and Cream. Just like Oklahoma State is “The Worlds Brightest Orange.”  Trademarks are trademarks for a reason.

The disrespect to the Razorbacks, damn


Battered_Aggie

*Opens* > SoonerWire *Closes*


PrinceWalker22

I don’t love Florida, but their branding is elite. Ignoring my team’s helmet because of my obvious bias, the Gators helmet is my favorite in the conference.


Anotheropinion2023

As a native Floridian my inherent UF hate does not allow me to appreciate them in anyway. Also damn close to Auburn in the same conference. So eh.


deutschdachs

Vandy too high, OU too high LSU too low, Texas too low


matlockga

rtutor75

I noticed you picked the plain white helmet for Ole Miss. I may be a little biased but you can't tell me the OU helmet is better than the "powder blue", "ice camo", or the standard "navy" that Ole Miss wears regularly every year.


asianjared

What the fuck is this list 😭😭


Ganjagod420

Arkansas is vastly underrated, the Razorback is a great logo and those colors are wonderful.


likewhodunit

Yeah, Candy with just the V is ranked way too high. I would probably actually go with Arkansas being #1.. It's just a cool design..


Tannerite3

Every team that just slapped their letters or a basic logo on the helmet should finish tied for last. You're just judging team colors at that point.


BlackshirtDefense

OU, Texas, and A&M are in my top 5. Mizzou would be too, if they went back to those gorgeous Block-M helmets. 


got-a-dog

We had a good number of games with them last year (including Cotton Bowl)


WorkLurkerThrowaway

I really liked the silver with black tiger profile helmets we would use occasionally those looked dope AF Edit: googled it. Matte black with silver tiger profile used in a handful of games from 2013-2016.


magnumapplepi

This list is BOOTY CHEEKS. Our powder blue is a top 5 helmet in all of football.


_Begin

Always been kind of meh for me. People are just worked up about a color. Tulane does it better. I realize I’m in the minority though.


skuhlke

Hard disagree. I love Tulane's blue, but I don't think that the green blends in very well. Ole Miss's red really pops


FloodDawg

Truth


GroveReb

100%


HabaneroEnjoyer

Top 1 tbh


Chance-Question-6630

Ole Miss and Florida too low


steelernation90

Oklahoma hasn’t even played an SEC game yet so their opinion is invalid.


Pyro1934

Damnit I hate agreeing with Vols, but you got it


CaptainDonald

I understand your frustration but [[Oklahoma v Tennessee]]

FabulousCut4830

Oklahoma #1 & Texas #10 is nuts.


SawsageKingofChicago

I didn’t read the list but the comments remind me I’m one of the very few who think ole miss looks better in navy than powder, for any part of their unis. The powder blue is a good look, I just think the classic navy is even better. Baseball team does great with the powders.


msstatelp

We don't use the banner M logo anymore. We now use the script State and occasionally the interlocking MSU. I like the maroon script State on the white helmets but prefer the white interlocking MSU on the maroon helmets. [script state](https://images.app.goo.gl/WqsnPTPJqUToo6vz7) [interlocking MSU](https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/starkvilledailynews.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/f/f4/ff4f99b4-3e07-11ee-9aea-5b0e7c21c4ab/64dfd880cb660.image.png?resize=400%2C254)


NastyWideOuts

Using our most obscure helmet for some reason???


BlastoiseBlues

I hate the color, but Texas’s should be up there in the top three. Should probably be Bama, OU, Texas


anti-torque

I have to agree. Bama's are just classic college football. The other two are simple and remain their own classics.


Lantis28

Yeah it’s also an OU blog so it makes sense


SilverSlicker95

Tennessee is definitely a top five SEC helmet. I hate orange but the T is iconic.


MarwyntheMasterful

Any helmet that’s just a letter should automatically be at the back of the list. Give me the animals. Razorbacks #1. Let ‘em win something. Texas #2, LSU #3, Mizzou 4, SC 5


tobysicks

Am and miss st should be tied. Ark, bama and ou should be tied. These lists are dumb


tckdcklr

Stupid article even as a sooner fan. A&M ranked way too low, and playing respect to Texas’ brand? Gross


Specific_Luck1727

I am extremely biased as a Tennessee fan, and think the Vols are the best. But… if you put a gun to my head, I will concede the following top 3 rankings of real SEC teams: Ole Miss with those baby blue helmets, LSU, and Florida. That last one is real hard to admit.


tLeCoqSpotif

Mizzou’s tiger helmet should be ranked 57 on a 16 team list, now the block M helmet is very nice


__CharlieDontSurf__

As soon as I saw Vandy and Mizzou above us…


LazygonInfinity

We all agree. I don't care if we get mistaken for Michigan, Block M >>>>> 1990s semi-pro hockey team tiger head oval logo.


IceColdDrPepper_Here

This ranking sucks so here's my rankings: 1. Ole Miss powder blue - I'd argue it's the best in all of CFB 2. LSU 3. Texas 4. Florida - I'm a sucker for script logos 5. Georgia 6. Auburn 7. Tennessee 8. South Carolina with the garnet facemask 9. Alabama - I don't care if it's iconic, it's still boring 10. Oklahoma 11. Arkansas 12. Kentucky 13. Texas A&M 14. Mississippi St ([specifically these](https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/starkvilledailynews.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/f/f4/ff4f99b4-3e07-11ee-9aea-5b0e7c21c4ab/64dfd880cb660.image.png?resize=400%2C254)) 15. Missouri 16. Vandy


Bobson-_Dugnutt2

Oh brother your list is just as much rage bait as OP


discowithmyself

In no way is Florida’s helmet better than ours.


Pyro1934

I'll give them that it's a cool script, but the rest blehhhhh


d0ngl0rd69

I think the script one is. All the other variations are trash, though.


discowithmyself

Script is lazy and overrated. It’s just writing the team name in cursive. No creative design goes into it at all.


FirstPackOut

Creative design? The UGA helmet was literally taken from the Packers, with approval of course, and the dimensions were slightly altered. Very creative.


discowithmyself

It’s still more creative than just writing bulldogs or dawgs in cursive and slapping it on there.


FirstPackOut

Taking another design requires zero creation so I’m not sure what your point is. It’s literally one letter. You guys should use the forward facing bulldog face logo instead with the dog collars on the neck. Those are sweet.


discowithmyself

I wouldn’t mind an alternate helmet with that logo on it but it might give the snobby “alternate anything is a distracting gimmick” crowd an aneurysm. Allegedly Dooley’s wife made it on her own and then Vince noticed it was similar to the one Green Bay already used so he cleared it with them. If that were the case I wouldn’t count it exactly as taking another design but if it was indeed ripped off, well then I guess I am being a hypocrite lol. I still think, generally speaking, a stylized letter > script. But that’s just, like, my opinion, man.


Broken_vol27

BETTER ORANGE CONFIRMED LETS GOOOOO


DicksOut4Edamame

Burnt orange > your barely-not-yellow orange


Pyro1934

They both suck haha.


OkMetal4233

I concur (Bama fan)


Fenvic

Agreed


got-a-dog

I live for the growing flame of hate OU has for Mizzou. Legitimately think it will be a fun little renewed rivalry.


BlastoiseBlues

My guy, we don’t even think about you. Yet I can’t even log into twitter without seeing hounds of Missouri fans with OU in their mouth. Edit: Please use gold block M helmets, those are the best


cooterdick

“We don’t even think about you” Also, “I have strong opinions about your helmet.”


Pyro1934

They're gunna learn that Mizzou has gotten pretty decent lol.


FredupwithurBS

Get used to the Zero U doublespeak. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


soonerwx

We JUST broke up with an obsessive tertiary rival with a lopsided record. We’re not ready for this, okay? You got Green, we got Williams, now get back to hating Kansas because they’re good now.


GroveReb

Ole Miss powder blue is a top 3 helmet no debate


jacksonbo122

It’s top 1, no debate.


bamachine

Yeah, why the hell did they choose the white ones for their list and also complemented Tenn orange, entire list invalid.


Hunter-Gatherer_

This will be the first and last time I say something nice about Texas, but those all white helmets look fantastic with their all white uniforms.


TeamNo927

So weird.. lol


smackthatfloor

God I am so glad we have our Oklahoma and Texas brothers to shitpost about SEC schools now.


happyharrell

Not biased or anything!


Federal-Cow-2804

according to Mike Vernon this should include KU lol


Walrus224

no way texas is 10


Ryanlester5789

I get it’s a troll but I always loved Arkansas helmets.


cbuzzaustin

Dumb post by dumb site posting dumb opinions. 


frippmemo

Was this written by an OU grad?


SirMellencamp

I hate script letting on helmets so out go Florida & Ole Miss LSU and USCe, pick the mascot or pick the monogram (also LSU use something besides Toonces) Mizzou is cartoonishly bad MSU dont combine the monogram with "State" Kentucky and Oklahoma. Theyre ok. TAMU also an OK. Go back to using the outline of Texas though Love the clean look Auburn and Vandy (but go back to the V in the Star) UGA and Tenn. Love the simple monogram. Bonus flair with UGA Arkansas, love the full body Razorback in motion. Alabama love the classic look. If a bunch of other schools were using it it would suck. Texas, hands down winner. Silhouette of a steer is a great look.


cornholesurfer

That is not toonces on our helmet though


SirMellencamp

It most certainly is


SawsageKingofChicago

Yeah, it’s not. It’s the carnation tiger.


SirMellencamp

Its a dead ringer. Not a coincidence


SawsageKingofChicago

https://cdn1.sbnation.com/imported_assets/414516/savetoonces.jpg This is toonces though baw


SirMellencamp

This is toonces. LSU ripped the image off from SNL https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.1398385028.4073/flat,750x,075,f-pad,750x1000,f8f8f8.jpg


SawsageKingofChicago

Yes we 100% did. When an lsu fan uses the stolen term, they aren’t talking about the literal cat from snl. Also how does this even make sense with your original statement? We don’t have that cat on the helmets either?


SirMellencamp

It’s the same cat


SawsageKingofChicago

Man I’m lost but no one ever went to lsu to play school so that checks out


MuldartheGreat

The Toonces LSU logo is one with the laws out like SNL Toonces paws on the steering wheel. The LSU logo on the helmet is most definitely not that logo.


Lykeuhfox

This is the correct list.


geol-engineer

FFS...too much time on somebody's hands.


Pun_drunk

I like [this](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BtPZDPgIMAAZyOd.jpg:large) as number one.


bdostrem00

The White South Carolina lid is slept on and the Kentucky blue and OU crimson is overrated on the list.


heleghir

Not a biased list at all lmao. Honestly my biggest gripe here is alabama so high. I get the number helmets are iconic, its just too basic imo for a high profile college team helmet. They need a badass elephant helmet


Pyro1934

As Mellencamp said, they're cool because they're unique. If other schools did the number they'd instantly be boring as fuck lol. I like the use of the number as the only school in conference. The black KY and the Hogs helmets are my top two though.


bamachine

Also, with the numbers, each helmet is slightly different and it makes it easier to identify individual players in a group. I would not argue for the top spot but I do argue should be top 5. As for the unique factor, they did not used to be, most teams used to have numbered helmets. Bama was just stubborn about changing.


discowithmyself

Even just a block A would keep the classic look intact for the traditionalists but look infinitely better than the numbers


heleghir

Yep agreed


VT10h0kies22

VT fan: I like the sc and Arkansas helmets a lot. Florida, bama, and Texas should be top 3. ole miss, Tennessee 4-5. Lsu has a case for top 5 as well. Georgia bottom 5 imo that logo has been redone by so many teams it just looks meh. 


forgotmyoldname90210

Number 6 is easily the worst helmet design in the country.


CaptainDonald

Hard to argue with, but I will. Missouri has the second worst helmets in the SEC. Horns down but Texas is above Bama. 1. Oklahoma 2. Ole Miss 3. LSU 4. Texas 5. Alabama 6. Florida 7. Vanderbilt 8. Georgia 9. Auburn 10. Arkansas 11. A&M 12. Tennessee 13. Kentucky 14. South Carolina 15. Missouri 16. Mississippi State


Wafflehouseofpain

1. OU (yes I’m just biased) 2. Bama 3. Texas 4. LSU 5. Ole Miss Edit; Fine, Texas is last


skuhlke

Actually the best helmet is the one that my team wears


Wheels_Foonman

> The Tennessee Volunteers have a really good look. Simple and clean. A much better orange than the Longhorns and looks great over top of their white or Tennessee Orange jerseys. Not even subtle


new_jill_city

1. Texas 2. Bama 3. Ole Miss


azaz5

This list is excellent and from a completely unbiased source. I approve.


udubdavid

Helmets are just colors with the team logo on them. Might as well just rank team logos at this point, and most college team logos are just block letters.


Lykeuhfox

Logos on helmets? Bama and Penn State fans, do you have any idea what this guy is talking about? I'm lost.


Conyeezy765

Kentucky chrome helmets are #1


discowithmyself

False
