Helmet GT vs Regular GT

[Wreck Em]

This was brought up briefly in another thread. The GT on the football helmet has been different from its use anywhere else. Do you think we will ever change that to match the "Primary" GT logo, or that we even should?

Never noticed. I wonder if it's because helmets are curved.

Helmet logo has always looked better. No reason for the two logos to be different. I've heard the curvature justification but that makes no sense. Why would that affect serifs for example. Proportion and widths are more consistent on the helmet logo as well. Even on a flat surface.

You need a job in marketing. I just had the thought. And now i'm amazed with myself that I came up with this brilliant idea.

First time I've noticed that the top of the T in the primary logo is unbalanced, while the helmet T is the same length of both side.

Here's something else kind of odd. We used to use that logo as the primary. On apparel and even as shown here on the field in 1979.

This logo is different than both of those above.

I think some time later in the Gailey years they decided to make the GT larger on the helmets. That and being roundish likely dictates the difference.

The size increased around '07, but we've had this different helmet logo for decades.
