What do the things on ncaa football players helmets stand for?

Question

the hammer things, i see them everywhere.

Answer 1

They are called Pride Stickers. As stated earlier, these represent acheivements during a game (a sack, touchdown, interception..etc). The University of Georgia has two different types of stickers (white dogbones for in game achievement and black dogbones for classroom academic achievement)

Answer 2

They where helmets and padding, because players hit harder and the collision is huge. Back and the day football players only wore leather helmets, but they were not big compared to guys now. Seriously, these guys back in the day and players now would be in the hospital because of the high impact nowadays. Rugby is tough sport, but the guys playing them would not last long without helmets or pads against NFL players. While rugby players are pretty big, they don't even compare to the measurable of NFL players. Ronnie Brown for Miami is 235 lbs and runs a 4.44 40. How would like that collision. Linebackers at 250 lbs are running high 4.5s. Julious Peppers at 278 or so runs that speed, and Jason Taylor, Shawn Merriman is really fast as well. Vernon Davis a TE in last years draft weighs about 270 lbs and he ran 4.38 40. Now that is rediculous. That is fast really fast for players half his size let alone his muscle mass. So you add all this raw muscle mass, raw power and strength with athletes who are zipping through like torpedos creates quite a collision with that velocity and size.

Answer 3

most of the time they represent an in-game acheivement of sorts, and everytime the players do somethuing worthy in a game, they get a sticker, as a reward or trophy. things like having over 100 yards rushing in a game, returning a kick for a touchdown, getting a sack or an INT on defense.
