If you follow football, you know there are only a few patterns for helmet styling. By far the most popular is "Logo on the Side":
(All these graphics are from
The Helmet Project)
Less popular is "Projecting from Front":
Or there is "Around the Back":
And rarest of all is "All Over":
That's kind of limited, given how many football teams there are across Canada and the U.S., professional, college, and occasional short-lived rival league. So I'm glad to see the new helmets for Carleton University:

That's right, they've introduced the "Over the Top" helmet, with a big mysterious raven on it. Just think what they can do with this now. A big mane for the Broncos, a red crest on the Cardinals. Introducing this and other new helmet paradigms is the least we can do, given that I, as a child, assumed we'd have holographic helmets by now, looking like there are wings or horns sticking out the side.
