College Football: Ranking All 14 Conference USA Helmets

College Football: Ranking All 14 Conference USA Helmets

It was a hit or miss campaign for Conference USA in 2016. Western Kentucky continued to dominate while Old Dominion stunned its foes by winning 10 games and first bowl game as an FBS member.

The rest of the conference didn't uphold its end of the bargain.

Seven of the thirteen teams didn't qualify for the postseason with a trio of squads going a dreadful 3-9.

2017 brings UAB football back from the dead to give Conference USA an even 14 teams. And while the Blazers probably won't challenge for a conference title this year, its helmets are certainly worthy of first-place consideration. 

Can UAB nab the top spot as we rank all 14 Conference USA helmets? 

Only one way to find out.

Note: These rankings are for each team's standard helmets. We'll be ranking the best overall Group of 5 alternate helmets soon. In the meantime, check out our helmet rankings for the AAC, Sun Belt, Mountain West, and MAC.

14. Marshall

A big, giant, green "M."

That's literally it.

13. Southern Miss

The Golden Eagles logo and overall helmet looks stuck in the early 1980s.

12. Middle Tennessee 

The concept is solid, but the white horse atop the "MT" blends in too much with the silver background.

11. North Texas

For a team that used to have easily the worst helmets in all of college football, UNT has come a long way.

10. Old Dominion

The crown above the "ODU" is an original touch, but it needs to be jazzed up a bit.

9. Louisiana Tech

Just as the NFL's Buffalo Bills did, we like the Bulldogs' switch from a red background to a solid white to help the "T" inside the state of Louisiana stand out better.

8. UTSA

We love the color scheme, but also miss the roadrunner logo for its originality.

7. Rice

We're not normally a fan of plain-text helmets, but the old fashioned script on Rice's lids are a nice touch. 

We hope they put their new logos on their helmets this year.

6. FIU

Not too bad, but the Panthers have had this logo for quite some time and might be in need of an update.

5. FAU

It's all about the wings coming off the tips of the first and last letter of "FAU" that really makes this helmet unique.

4. UTEP​

Kudos to the Miners for the funky color combination and shoehorning the pickaxe into the letter "T."

3. Charlotte

Entering just its third season of FBS play, the 49ers have made their mark in the helmet department already.

2. Western Kentucky

Chrome domes for the win.

Welcome back UAB. Conference USA just wasn't the same without you.
