The helmet schedule that we all get excited about every year is out for 2009 (actually, it's apparently been out a while but until BHGP announced it, I didn't notice -- I rely on BHGP for all my helmet-related and horse porn-related updates). It was definitely neat the first time we saw it but now it's becoming like the release of Madden for PlayStation -- kind of exciting but the hype is starting to outweigh the fun.
To combat this, the creators at SimonOnSports went a new route this year, using retro helmets for each team. For some, the retro looks just like the current. For teams like the Boilers, they chose a helmet, interestingly, that our guys barely ever wore -- it was for the 1969 season only, I believe.
As for the complete schedule, you can download it here.
Oh, also.....
Is this perhaps the most confused helmet you've ever seen? A big, muscular, apparently naked warrior being hugged by a rainbow. What's more intimidating than that?
