I LOVE those helmets. How confident are you in your defense if you have the whole unit wear helmets with the Jolly Roger on them that say "Head Hunters" underneath??

This is not FCS but wondering what y'all think about this.
My former high school hired the son of my former legendary coach and he has reinstated the helmet design we wore many moons ago.
It's an all white helmet. If you start on defense (nicknamed the Warlords), you wear a black stripe on each side of the helmet. If you start on offense (nicknamed the Bluechippers), you wear a blue arrow down the middle. If you start on any special team, you wear maroon stripes on each side of the helmet (on a 45 degree angle between the arrow and black stripe). It makes for a great ceremony before each game to get "striped".
If you don't start, you are bareass white. Gives you something to work for.

I like the idea, and the designs (not the colors though). Obviously wouldn't work for NCAA teams since it's against the rules, but for high school kids, not bad at all.

What's against the rules?
Georgia Tech did something similar in the mid 80's with their "Black Watch" defense.
Tech's 1984–1985 teams featured the "Black Watch" defense. The Black Watch defense was created by defensive coordinator Don Lindsey and featured linebackers Ted Roof and Jim Anderson and lineman Pat Swilling. The elite defensive players were awarded black stripes down the center of their helmets and black GT emblems on the side of their helmets

NCAA rules say that each player requires a helmet of same design and color, while the NFHS actually has no standard. High school players on the same squad could theoretically have completely different helmets during a game.

Idaho State has the worst helmet by far.

Best of the ones pictured is either UC Davis an/dor South Alabama. Those are nic!@

Toms River is better known for it's success in Little League baseball than HS football.

Really, Towson players had to earn their stripes last year. Not sure if that's the case this year though.

BTW, the greatest helmet is the history of helmets...

Here is a helmet from another Jersey Shore Conference High School. One that they have worn for as long as I can remember.
It is essentially like Michigan, Delaware, and Princeton without the wings.
