5. Changing the helmets
Altering the Crimson Tide helmets, aside from the white version of their standard helmet, seems wrong and a direct attack on what many Alabama fans would consider the “tradition” of the program.
This category ranks dead last for a reason. There are plenty of new helmet concepts, and they all seem to force Alabama into the future — when it’s not needed.
Below are a few of the struggling designs:

We do respect the effort it takes to come up with these ideas, but it’s just not needed for Alabama.
