For your viewing pleasure, here is the website for the "Helmet Project", a pretty cool history of football team helmet designs:

Which is the best and which is the worst....ever?
Personally, I'm not a fan of the U of F helmets from the late '60's thru the late '70s.
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
That is a really interesting site; thanks for sharing! As for best and worst, imo the simpler the better. The classics never go out of style.
They are a little behind on Jags who are making a serious run for worst helmet ever.
Some of the helmets for the old WLAF were terrible and looked like someone had just used clipart for the logos.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
The fsu helmet from 1962 is hysterically bad.
Go Gators!
There's a reason why Michigan has never really changed designs.
The old Ivy League ones are kinda cool.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
I think the Ravens helmet now is the worst ever.
