CFB fan shows off 36 different Northwestern helmets worn throughout the years

One college football fan, Blaise D’Sylva, is sharing the helmet history of one FBS school each day over the course of about four months. On Saturday, it was Northwestern’s turn.

According to D’Sylva, the Wildcats have worn 41 helmets in their history. D’Sylva presented 36 of them in a display case and tweeted out a photo of it on Saturday:

I'm sharing the helmet history of 1 FBS school per day for all 130 teams. We are in the Big 10 & today it's Northwestern (Team 35/130). @NUFBFamily has 41 helmets (36 pictured, 5 from '18 missing).@UniWatch @PhilHecken @nuequipstaff@darrenrovell@slmandel@thedailynu#CFB150 pic.twitter.com/4A39pOfAgP

One of the coolest things about this series from D’Sylva is to see the changes to one program’s helmet over the years. As is the case with most programs, the Northwestern helmet has come a long way, and there have been several cool alternative editions to the helmet logo, such as the American-flag themed helmet, which the team has usually worn around the anniversary of Sept. 11.
