Keeping track of college football helmets used to be simple. Every team had one helmet design, except for Washington State, which had separate designs for home and road games, and that was that. Those days are gone. With more and more schools taking their cues from Oregon, the idea of having multiple helmet looks is catching on. And even if the helmet's basic shell color stays the same, you can swap in a new face mask color, a new logo decal, a new center-stripe pattern. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination
• You know what Bowling Green really needed? If you answered, "a crazy number font and some stripes on the back of the pant legs," then you're in luck. Meanwhile, the helmet now has a new logo, a brown face mask, and a tapered stripe. You can see how all of this looks on the field in this video clip.
• Buffalo is going with a simpler look this year. Seems like an improvement, except for those armpit stains panels.
• Ohio is slated to wear a helmet decal in memory of former player Marcellis Williamson, who died in April.
• Temple is going back to the outline "T" helmet logo, same as the one they wore from 1989-95 and 2004-06.
• Western Michigan's helmet now has a big "W."
