The SP helmet has not changed since 1966 or so. Cool then and cool now. Kids earn their swords by giving 100% effort in the Classroom, weight room and on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of better looking helmet designs throughout CA than those two. They had about 70 Calif schools selected by the Committee based on submissions. The helmets selected were pretty good. The final 32 in the National tourney are really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCBlackhatter Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 From what I saw of the national teams, the Alaska school should take home the trophy. The Mariners I believe they are called. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngdawg Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Someone tell me why Hardaway's helmet is simply a red version of Armwood's helmet. Armwood's black and blue helmet is somewhat cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the appeal in their helmet, it simply looks like the Jets helmet with the school logo on it instead. And I'm not a fan of the green color on the helmet/uniform. But I guess I can't blame you if you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elKakador Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 On 5/29/2020 at 8:48 AM, CODBEARD said: That design has an interesting history. Many think it was Michigan's first but it was developed by then Princeton head coach and worn by them first. He took it to Michigan when he became coach there.. A former Michigan player when he became the HC of Delaware they went to it.. This helmet is often cited as one of the most attractive ones, as attested to by its popularity in high school and college. And you are correct about its history. Fritz Crisler took it to Michigan with him when he left Princeton. Princeton however itself did not retain the helmet after him until recently when they went back to it. But personally I preferred the Princeton helmets and uniforms of the Lawson Cashdoller-Stash Maliszewski period with an orange helmet and single black stripe and black number on the sides and the black sleeves with orange stripes on them. But attractiveness is purely subjective. The simplicity of Penn State's or Alabama's uniforms/helmets can be considered attractive just as well... I kinda like Auburn's uniforms/helmets. They seem to be somewhere in the middle -- not too fancy, not too plain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time there wasn't a whole lot to distinguish one player from another on the field... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason alot of people really like that helmet. 6000+ helmets started in the Tournament and 2.5 million votes have been cast. Too bad all the "other teams" you mentioned either were not good enough to qualify, or lost in the state round. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
