A few months back during the the summer I was contacted to help create a new over the top helmet for Northwestern to wear for homecoming. I spent a few weeks coming up with some ideas shooting emails back and forth with people in the program and a few alumni. Below are some of those ideas. A concept was picked and some samples were made but sadly someone with more power vetoed the idea in the end because it was too flashy. You can see what the helmet would have looked like with the uniform here. You can also see the design on the back of the helmet featuring the Northwestern N. If you want to see one of these helmets on the field let the people with veto power know because they have the power to make it happen.
