I’m more pissed they couldn’t lower the Louisiana and US flags 1/16” to not miss the vent hole in the rear.

how the L on the helmet to the left is flush to the hole and the one to the right isn't.




This is what got me. Someone is lucky I'm not in charge of stickering personel decisions.

Made it to the SEC Championship game and LSU fans are bothered by a decal on the side of the helmet?

This is how I know you’re an idiot and don’t know what you’re talking about. I was an equipment manager for 6 seasons that did these helmets. We spent months trying to figure out a solution to those holes. We tried bigger decals. Smaller decals. Bigger and smaller stripes. Move the angle of the decals. None of it worked really. Bigger it took up too much of the helmet up and looked weird. Smaller and it didn’t fit. The proportions were off each thing we changed bigger and smaller. Moving the decal would throw off the angles and would look sideways when on the head of the player.

So no, it was not half assed at all! There really wasn’t a better solution and worked on it for months!!

The individual player chooses. Pay attention, not every player is using the same helmet. I’ve seen a video from LSU that says they start with what they used in high school but also offer the other styles and allow them to choose what they like.


I did not know that. It makes perfect sense why they would use stickers, then.

They also re do them every week. So it would be hard to do any other way than stickers.
