OT - I have nothing but love for the folks in Wauseon...

Can you tell me what that funky yellow swoosh on the front their helmets mean?? :confused:

Mr. Google says..........

Quote:
Yellow "wings" on navy helmet with blue facemask:

The characteristic design of the Michigan helmets came from the stitch design of the old leather helmets. Michigan coach Fritz Crisler brought the design from Princeton, where he created it to help his quarterback pick out receivers on his team. The extra-padded front panel and the stitches between the head and ear flaps were made a different color to make the helmets stand out. (Seth Fisher)

You know, I really don't like Ohio State (Forgive me Jerry!) and am not fond of Michigan but this is going to be a damn good game!

May Bo Rest in Peace.
