5 ACC teams with best football helmets in 2024 ft. Clemson

The ACC, like many conferences this season, will look very different. This is due to the arrival of three new teams in the historic conference.

The California Golden Bears, Stanford Cardinals and SMU Mustangs will bring their unique identities to the conference. One of the ways these identities are shown is through the teams' helmet designs.

In anticipation of the new season, here are the five ACC teams with the best helmet designs.

5 ACC teams with the best football helmets

#1. Florida State Seminoles

The Seminoles have an incredibly unique design to their helmet. While many teams solely have their logo on the helmet, Florida State has embraced the name Seminoles.

The Seminoles' helmet is dominated by a large spear that goes along the side. On the back, there are tomahawks, the traditional weapons of the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

#2. Clemson Tigers

This is a helmet that, thanks to its color, immediately stands out among the rest of the ACC. It is a simple design that has been worn by some of the best players in college football recently.

The white claw logo is iconic and clean. Sitting on a base of a shade of orange that perfectly suits the name "Tigers," this helmet strikes fear in the hearts of Clemson's opponents and will continue to do so for years to come.

#3. North Carolina Tar Heels

The Tar Heels use two designs. One with the iconic UNC logo on a white background and a far more notable white logo on a Carolina blue background.

The blue helps this helmet stand out and makes this a program from a school that is known more for its basketball team, one of the more visually pleasing ones to watch.

#4. California Golden Bears

This helmet will debut in the ACC this season and could immediately become one of the best-looking in the conference.

In what is a slick design, the large "CAL" calligraphy in yellow and gold does not overpower the helmet. Paired on a matt blue background, this helmet will stand out among the others in the ACC.

#5. NC State Wolfpack

In many helmets that feature the program's logo, the logo itself normally takes up half of the side. The NC State Wolfpack helmet does not follow this rule.

While it does have a simple white background, the fan will not notice this. What they will be drawn to is the large Wolfpack logo on the helmet, which takes up the entire side. The Wolfpack logo itself is incredibly strong and makes the helmet stand out even more.
