Hello,
For those teams that have numbers on the sides of their helmets (i.e. Alabama), how do you guys do it ? Do you just peel off decals and put them on by hand ? If so do you have any kind of marker so they go on straight ? Do you use a stencil ? thanks

measure up from ear hole...place at roughly the same spot...never going to be perfect, but from the stands no one will ever know.

definitely dont rely on the kids to do it...always one goof ball who gets his mom to do it and she puts it on NOWHERE CLOSE to where it belongs...

We have arrows like Florida State (we were the Indians) and we started them at the same place in the back of the helmet. We placed them on angle from this spot to a spot two finger above the ear hole. This gave them a nice line to follow.
Definitely have the coaches help them- don't leave it up to the kids...

We've always used decals, and used the snap buttons and the vent holes on the helmet as guides. Only have the kids do it if they are all sitting down in a hallway and you demonstrate it. Otherwise just have coaches do it.

Bottom of number is at the same level as forehead part of the helmet (were the screws are) and like the other guy said line it up with the ear hole. Do the number on the left first and then the next one.

Like the others have said, dont let the kids do it. What we have done in the past is just sat down a couple days before the first game and done them all. We also use the earhole and chin strap snaps as a guideline. You'll never get all the numbers perfect, but most will never notice.

coachjd the reason I said stencils was because Alabama had in the past used them but thanks to those who replied

I did not mean to be sarcastic, but if you use a marker or paint to put the number on the helmet, now that helmet is always going to be for #65 or whatever number you put on the helmet.

We always let the kids do it. IT IS TOO FUNNY. They usually say coach can you put mine on.

man, this seems like a lot of work just to look different. I guess I have a versity simple philosophy, no stickers decals and no numbers, no names on the back of jerseys. just plain old jane helmets adn uniforms. to me a football team must banish individualism and inplace confromity to a nameless, selfless team.
