Adobe Illustrator would be my first choice. You will want to use a tool like this that has the ability to create a 'vector'-based file. If you ever want to up-scale the image, like for a banner, field logo, poster, etc. - the vector-based image will scale and maintain resolution. If you use gif, jpg, tif - they are all bitmap images -- and they do not scale well. Be sure to create the image at least at 300 dpi and full-scale for any print applications like on a decal.
If you know that you will never use the logo for any other type of output besides the helmet decal, use any paint or photo program and create the output in tif - or even jpg. Stay away from gif as it is a very 'lossy' file format (it uses a compression algorithm that loses data when it compresses).
If you need any further help, just drop me a pm.
