I mentioned this to another Gator Supporter in this thread, but as a Buckeye fan you can appreciate this, if the NFL starts this Guardian Hat nonsense, the colleges won’t be far behind.

Think of a late November day in Columbus, the Buckeyes and Wolverines run out on the field with those things on their heads, it will take way from the uniforms and game IMO.

Part of the Ohio State helmet is the Buckeye stickers on the side of the helmet, same of the Michigan Wolverine emblem on their helmets, covering all that up with a Guardian Cap is no good IMO.

I don't think the Padded Helmet will be around long. As you say it takes away from the overall look. Some clever bugger will come up with something better that maintains the look. I hope.
