The Helmet Project
I’m a football fan and it’s about that time of year. 
I ran across a really cool site yesterday called The Helmet Project. Charles Arey started the project a while back and he is documenting the different football helmets for college (all the way down to NAIA) through the NFL. You will also find USFL, CFL and yes, even the XFL. It is interesting how some teams have had a ton of changes while others have remained virtually unchanged.
Some of the colleges have gone through an alarmingly large number of helmet changes. For example Cincinnati has gone through 19 helmet changes since 1960. Michigan, on the other hand, has had three.
The Helmet Project looks like it has been a LOT of work, and if you are a football fan, I’m sure you will appreciate that.
