Small change to helmet stickers
Now, from what I can tell, it does indeed appear that the blue outline has been removed and it also seems as though the stickers may be that much smaller in size. Probably a wise move, as making them smaller will allow for more to be placed on the Michigan helmets. I’ll see if I can track down one and provide a more detailed analysis later in the season. I also noticed that the warning label has been moved from the side of the helmet to the back and bottom of the helmet. Why do I call this out? Well, this frees up more space on the helmet for at least one more helmet sticker, but more importantly, this allows for a more symmetrical placement of the stickers on each side of the helmet. Oh, and by the way – the last time the warning label was located on the bottom and back of the Michigan helmets? 1986. Coincidence? I don’t think so…

You need to make a small change to this thread to make it less confusing

Ok, who's going to update the Michigan helmet sticker Wikipedia page with this revelation?

Don't like stickers anyway because OSU does it too.
Start something new like a fan/ex player signing the helmet before a game. Like a kid in AA hospital.
Glad Harbaugh killed the #1 jersey thing. The stickers need to die too.

Incredibly, I think this comment is just as confusing as the post itself.

SO WHAT.
We are Michigan. Let's do something better.
Should we go back to wishbone too?

Bo wasn't the first to use helmet stickers either. Illinois and Rutgers used helmet stickers before Miami.
But that's beside the point. Michigan wasn't the first team to use winged helmets, but now everyone thinks of Michigan when they see them. Ohio State wasn't the first to use helmet stickers, but they are known for it so much that everyone thinks they invented them.

to script ohio coming from the Michigan marching band. OSU really does want to follow in our footsteps.

I would be careful throwing out questions like this - a Big Ten officiating crew might see it, review it and answer it somehow.
In all honesty though, if we were to diagram "apparel", I bet anything stickers end up in some secondary bucket under "equipment", the way this blog would diagram it anyway.

Or so you think.
Actually, any appearance of stickers on Speight's helmet, or good play on his part in general, is obviously impossible and can be attributed to the mind altering drugs that the US government -- under orders from Speight, their lord and evil master--has polluted our water supply with.

like the Tommy Harmon helmets of old, in order to tuck a few more helmet stickers underneath.
My case in point below, 1978 Michigan Bike (Air) helmets:
Junior tailback Roosevelt Smith in 1979 Rose Bowl vs. USC
Rick Leach, Ralph Clayton, Mike Leoni, Doug Marsh, Steve Nauta and unknown player below vs. Minnesota, 1978:

Looks pretty cool if you ask me. Not to mention authentic to the original Michigan football helmet made by Fritz Crisler.
Provides more space to shove another 4 helmet stickers under the convergence of the 3 helmet stripes.
Senior tailback Harlan Huckelby, 1979 Rose Bowl vs. USC:

They changed the iconic look of the helmet, at least the helmet stripes, in 1982.
But historically the stripes NEVER went down to the neck/collar of the helmet.
Michigan's helmet design stayed true to this until 1982, for some strange reason.
Anyway, the reason I mentioned this is because, if there is interest of fitting more stickers on the helmet without going between the stripes, then this is an idea.
And a good idea, In my opinion.

Was tipped off this was the plan weeks ago. Sorry we didn't report it but we didn't want to give Florida the competitive advantage.
