It's that and Michigan's helmets--there's no getting around the fact that they're the coolest helmets in all football. Meanwhile, anO$U's helmets are all covered by those hideous, nursery-school Buckeye stickers. No class whatsoever.
this is something i simply don't get about UM fans - the notion that they have the best uniforms, helmets and fight song in all of college football. this sentiment is repeated often and defended vigorously on the UM boards.
it's not that i dislike their helmets or fight song. they're fine, just like everybody else's. it just seems like such a subjective, not to mention random, thing to argue about. i can see the entertainment derived from arguing about who's team is/was better, or individual player performances, etc., but the uniforms? fight songs? it seems like something that you and your best friend's girlfriends would argue about while they're being forced to watch the game with you.
edit: i will agree, however, with the helmet sticker issue. i absolutely loathe the practice of singling out individual players by name or performance. if i had my way, i'd outlaw helmet stickers and names on jerseys.
