After talking about and showing my favorite Retro logos I have decided to do retro helmets so today I am going to talk about my favorite retro college football helmets.
25. Maryland
This helmet is nothing compared to their one today but I cannot get over the cursive lettering that has their nickname on it.
24. Illinois
The Fighting Illini have a better throwback helmet than their actual helmet having the block lettering that says Illinois.
23. Arizona
This helmet is different than all of the others with the A in cursive in their well known navy and red colors.
22. Hawaii
This was back when the Hawaii Warriors were the Hawaii Rainbows. They later decided to change the name but this is still a pretty awesome helmet having some of the colors of the rainbow which is red, yellow, green, and blue.
21. Kansas State
This one has a cursive logo that says cats since their team name is the wildcats.
20. West Virginia
West Virginia’s helmet has the WVU lettering and the state of West Virginia in the background.
19. Florida State
Not like their other helmets, this does not have a spear but instead has the state of Florida and actually shows the Seminole.
18. Texas Tech
The Red Raiders have a nice throwback helmet since it has a lot of detail putting four stars on both sides of the helmet.
17. USF
This is like a reverse of their helmet today having the helmet green instead of gold.
16. Arizona State
This one looks way better than their current helmet because it has the Sun Devil on it.
15. San Diego State
This helmet is the same color red as their helmet today. It does not have an Aztec Calendar but their actual logo.
14. Liberty
I think the Flames should switch back to their old helmets since it has the eagle on it instead of the LU.
13. Vanderbilt
This helmet would have been ranked lower but since it has the city of Nashville on the back of it thats why I put it at #13.
12. Tulane
The Green Wave throwback helmet is nice since they have the old logo on a baby blue helmet.
11. Rice
Rice’s old helmet just reminds me of the Southwest Conference since it has the wings on it.
10. Temple
I don’t know why they ever switched out their helmets from the screeching owl in the cherry and the white colors to block lettering.
9. Oregon State
I was super excited when I heard that they were going to wear the Benny Beaver helmets in 2017 since I have always loved their throwback helmet.
8. Baylor
This is just like Oregon State but instead it has a bear not a beaver.
7. Nevada
The Wolfpack have two different helmets with the wolf but since I think the navy blue one looks cooler thats why I put it on this list.
6. FAU
FAU has one of the best throwback helmets with the owl inside the white oval.
5. ULM
The Warhawks changed their helmet a few years ago but I still think this is a really good looking helmet with the angry Warhawk.
4. Western Michigan
I loved Western Michigan’s gold helmets that they used to wear which was not oversized and had the brown stripe.
3. UTSA
This was one of their best helmets having the roadrunner on top Of the UTSA lettering.
2. Memphis
The Tigers had one of the most simple helmets but I still think they look good since it has the tiger instead of the tiger stripes.
- Kansas
This is easily the best helmet on this list since it has the Jayhawk on it but instead of a royal blue it has baby blue.

I have to say on the college throw back helmets, my favorite is TT. The lettering & stars are simple and clean looking. I also like Memphis. The tiger coming out of the M has a nice look.
My least favorite is Hawaii. Way to loud with the colorful rainbow. Too much going on there!
We’re looking so forward to seeing you,mom & Miss Daisy next week 🙂 Hopefully Dad & brother will get alot done on the duplex and make it here soon.
I Love you, Vma
