I hope that's a joke.

I don't mind the white but the corn stalk on the top is a big miss.
Basically the helmet is a Bears C with a Bama (Roll) ripoff and instead of a Row the boat oar it has a corn stalk on top?
Also the Tommies ripped off Roll Toms from Roll Tide. It always reminded me of Roll Tums

The cob on top is cringey.

100%...I think the white looks sharp, but that sticker on top really couldn't be worse.

At first glance I thought it was a Tarantula or something.

Say what you will about the Cobbers helmet decals at least they have a Pre-Season All American on their roster, which is nice....

Well, I like it. I'm a big fan of unique team names, especially one offs. How many Tigers do we need anyway?

My pet peeve is the Superior WI Spartans. If there was ever an area that could have rolled with something unique it would be one of the schools in the Twin Ports. But somewhere a long time ago some idiots decided "Hey, Superior starts with an S so let's go with Spartans! It starts with an S too!" Friggin' BS.

So I say Go Cobbers. Be unique, dammit.

... and NDSU has the wheat stalk on their helmet, so it's a Fargo-Moorhead thing they have going as well.

I'll be in Mick's Office if you need me.

It didn't help them last year...42-23 good guys.

I don't mind the Cobber name or even the corn cob logo, I just think it's too much for the helmet.

Watch out MIAC, the Bison won their first 32 games in this helmet.

I mean so does Carleton, but I'm not expecting them to take the jump and beat St. John's this year.

I just don't like that the cob on the helmet isn't symmetrical. It's a little to chaotic when compared to the rest of the look of the helmet which is relatively simple and classic.
