Winged football helmet The winged football helmet is a helmet bearing a distinctive two - toned painted design that typically has sharp outward curves over the forehead forming a wing . It is worn by many high school and college American football teams , most popularly by the University of Michigan Wolverines . History . Famed football coach Herbert " Fritz " Crisler is credited with first painting the winged helmet in school colors . In 1935 , while head coach at Princeton University , Crisler ordered stock helmets bearing leather wings out of the Spalding catalog , believing the design to have practical advantages on the field In 1938 , Crisler became head football coach and athletic director at the University of Michigan , where he added maize and blue coloring to the stock design . These helmets made their debut at the Wolverines ' 1938 season opener against Michigan State and have been worn ever since . It has become an icon of Michigan ' s football program , which held it exclusively for more than sixty years . Crisler once recalled his rationale for the design : " Michigan had a plain black helmet and we wanted to dress it up a little . We added some color and used the same basic helmet I had designed at Princeton . " There was one other consideration . Crisler thought this unique helmet could be helpful to his passers as they tried to spot their receivers downfield . " There was a tendency to use different - colored helmets just for receivers in those days , but I always thought that would be as helpful for the defense as for the offense , " said Crisler . While the Wolverines have traditionally and historically held a claim to the winged helmet as their own , several other organizations have employed similar or identical designs . Michigan State began wearing a variation of the winged helmet before 1938 , predating the Wolverines and continuing until 1948 . Princeton abandoned the design after Crisler left in 1938 , but in 1998 , resurrected the winged design ( in orange and black ) for the Princeton Tigers . The University of Delaware ' s football team , an FCS program has been using the winged helmet design continuously since 1951 . Several high school teams across the country have also adopted the design .
