I love Michigan's, but it isn't that unique. Delaware's is practically identical, and they both ripped it off of Princeton.

Delaware is imitating Mich in much the same way highschools do.

I guess I had never seen Princeton wearing it so I gave the topic a quick 5min research.

Its hard to say Mich ripped them off when it was the Princton Coach who created the look in 1935. Then he brought it to Mich 3 years later as AD and head coach. At the same time Princeton abandoned it and didnt bring it back unt 1998. Mich held the look exclusively for 70 years so they get credit for popularizing the "winged helmet".

and ironically Michigan state had somewhat of a winged helmet even before Princeton's Fritz Crisler created his ---then moved to Michigan although MSU's was not as distinctive as the Wolverines.

I love those Navy ones too. Also I like the Air Force helmet with the pattern made from stealth bombers

I've always liked the Colorado state helmets with the horns.

The ones with the orange and white scuff marks. We are getting some good "painters" and JRM did some nice work this year.
