The tradition of stickers on the side of football helmets began with Ohio State. While there are varying versions, in 1968 it is believed that as the Buckeyes moved toward the championship game, longtime-trainer Ernie Biggs came up with the idea of rewarding the players's feats with helmet stickers. The tradition stuck and now dozens of teams have adopted the practice.

When it comes to a long tradition of success, a team must decide whether they will stick with a classic look or set a modern trend. The Trojans have had several design changes over the years, although many were subtle. In1972, the classic logo of a Trojan on the side of the helmet was released. Since then, there have been at least seven variations of the Trojan. However, the color scheme of the helmet itself has changed little.
