COOL FOOTBALL HELMET: GOLDEN WEST COLLEGE RUSTLERS

 Location: Huntington Beach, CA

Site: http://www.gwcathletics.com/ 

Comment: Rustlers is definitely a next- level cool nickname and those helmets are terrific. In fact, the team’s entire uniform is great, with green jerseys and gold pants like Oregon used to sport before they decided to change uniforms every week.

THE COOLEST HELMET IN THE MID-AMERICA INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

Team: NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE BEARCATS

Location: Maryville, MO 

Division: NCAA Division 2

Site: http://www.nwmissouri.edu/sports/

Comment: The Bearcats have won 3 total D2 National Championships in football (my favorite being the multiple-OT epic in 1999), are the reigning D2 champs and have played in the last 5 title games in a row! They even have former players on NFL rosters! Much of the credit for this success goes to the Bearcats’  Head Coach Mel Tjeerdsma (Official Balladeer’s Blog Motto – “Tjeerdsma: It’s not pronounced ANYTHING like it’s spelled!”) but the rest of the credit goes to these incredibly cool helmets! (I’m kidding!) And if you’re wondering, it’s pronounced “CHURCH-ma”.
