There are multiple phases of the offseason for the Texas football program that encompass “list season” as various predictions and rankings take the college football landscape by storm. And some of those lists are already starting to drop with spring camps wrapping up around the college football landscape late this month, including Texas concluding spring ball over the weekend.
One of the more interesting rankings that emerged around the conclusion of spring ball that involved the Longhorns to a certain extent was a list that sorted out the “top 25 helmets” in college football as of 2022. This list came about from 247Sports last week and had some interesting inclusions.
Texas topped the list with the best helmet in college football as of 2022 in this 247Sports ranking. It seems to be the tradition and recognition in this classic helmet look for the Longhorns that helped them get the top spot on the list ahead of the likes of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Ohio State Buckeyes, Alabama Crimson Tide, and then the Miami Hurricanes (in that order from top to bottom behind Texas).
Texas football tops the list of the top helmets in college football in 2022
Here’s more on what this 247Sports piece had to say on the matter of Texas topping the list of the best helmets in college football as of 2022.
"Texas’ helmet has always been a classic look. Always a white base, the Longhorn logo first appeared on the helmet in 1962, according to helmethistory.com. I also believe the Longhorn is one of the best in all of collegiate sports, which is why Texas earns the top spot this year."
Texas does truly have one of the classic looks not just in terms of their helmet design, but also the entire uniform. The Longhorn logo is immediately recognizable to college football fans all over the United States and some of the bigger fans around the world.
Moreover, there were only two Big 12 schools included in this ranking of the best helmets in 2022. Texas topped this list, and the rival Oklahoma Sooners rang in at No. 19 behind the Tennessee Volunteers out of the SEC.
