Alabama football has been known for winning and tradition and neither one seems to be slowing down. A tradition could mean a family trip to Tuscaloosa for every third Saturday in October, or it could be something within the Crimson Tide program that has stayed the same since the Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant days.
One tradition that can be seen every Saturday when Alabama takes the field is the crimson helmets with the white, block numbers on them.
No need for fancy gimmicks or flashy logos. The performance on the field is more than enough to provide fans with excitement.
Though there has been one constant helmet for over half a century now, there have been small changes made over time. Take a look at the helmets Alabama has worn over the years!
