Any news on helmet stickers?

Submitted by kawter on
Haven't heard much about helmet stickers this offseason let alone how they will look with the new gear

Has anyone seen anything yet?

The helmets look perfect as is. They filled up so quickly it's not like they were showing fans any distinctive play making. Pick whatever stickers their hearts desire and keep a big chart in the lockerroom.

The problem is the equipment staff are putting the stickers all over the helmet, with goofy spacing, and a much lower bar for what gets a sticker. Pre-95, the sticker standard was much more difficult, the spacing was tigher, and once the sides of the helmet were full, that was the end of it. Compare:

Desmond Howard in the 1992 Rose Bowl, at the end of a season in which he won a Heisman:

Last season, before the year was even over:

I know Harbaugh is all about competition and winning every trophy or sticker or whatever, but... It looks silly.

They'd all started to fill up the MIDDLE two blue sections. It was ridiculous.

Just make a board for the locker room or figure out a way to put them under the name plates on the lockers or something.

You can do the same thing and keep them off the helmet.

Even get practice helmets and put them on the practice helmets only would be okay better.

I agree. It's kind of hard not to notice. If you go back to the Schembechler years, you can see Michigan's biggest playmakers have half the stickers on their helmets than the players of last year.

I'm wondering if Harbaugh rewards stickers to players just for showing up to practice.

The new helmets are very sharp and I'm not looking forward to stickers. I used to miss the stickers but after last year Im good with none. The wings are epic and stickers are an OSU thing.
