College Football Helmet History

Today's college football players charge down the field adorned in futuristic helmets, marvels of modern engineering designed to absorb impact and mitigate injuries. But rewind the clock a century, and you'd find players taking the field with little more than glorified leather skullcaps. This series delves into the fascinating evolution of college football helmets and head gear, a journey that mirrors not just the changing safety standards of the sport, but also its cultural and technological advancements.

Join us we embark on the individual hard shell histories of individual schools and how the design has progressed for each over the ages.


Helmet Design History

he Colorado State Rams football helmets have undergone a series of design evolutions over the years, reflecting the changing styles and spirit of the university. One of the most iconic designs features a ram's head logo in a bold, aggressive stance, often set against a contrasting background color. This classic look has been a staple of the Rams' identity for decades.

In recent years, Colorado State has experimented with different color schemes and helmet designs to create a more modern and dynamic aesthetic. Some iterations have incorporated metallic accents, unique patterns, or even camouflage elements. These contemporary designs have helped to revitalize the Rams' brand and appeal to a younger generation of fans.

The standard sleek modern Rams head in a green circle is common on a white shell, however some throwback style pieces have come out on game day with the retro orange tinted Ram wearing a sailor-style cap with "CSU" on it.

In the late 20-teens, the modern "Sunshine-C" logo in red and gold augmented the white shells with blue stripes.

Regardless of the specific design, the Colorado State Rams helmets consistently maintain a sense of tradition and pride. The ram's head logo, a symbol of strength and resilience, remains a constant feature across various iterations. Whether it's the classic design or a more modern interpretation, the Rams' helmets serve as a visual representation of the team's spirit and commitment to excellence.
