ACC Football: Each team’s best and worst helmets ever

Pitt

Best: D, 2019-present

This is by far one of the easiest selections in this entire series. The blue and yellow Pitt script should have never left, and after returning in 2014, they finally abandoned the gold and navy blue for its original look. The blue facemask really kicks it up a notch.

Worst: 1997-2004

One of the very few things almost all college football fans can Agee on is going from the blue and yellow Pitt script to the navy blue and gold panther was a significant downgrade. It only lasted seven years, which is seven more than it should have.

Syracuse

Best: 1983-2004

The all orange Syracuse uniforms were fantastic. They don’t need the logo on the helmet, and back in this era, it wasn’t. Then the Orangemen, Syracuse used a plain orange helmet with a blue-white-blue stripe down the middle.

Worst: 1974-1976

Syracuse ditched the orange look for white for a few years. The logo was the letters Syracuse in orange inside a blue football-shaped oval. Having worn orange since the early 1960s, the Orange returned to, well, orange, after just three years of whites. White helmets wouldn’t return until 2014.
