Question on the red helmet in the early 80's. Didnt Criner or Walden have the whole team where the yellow helmets and than the the scout team mvp of the week in practice where the red on gameday?? Am I completely off base here?? I also like the early 80's helmets( yellow or red) the best.
IIRC, the red helmets were worn by the MVP's from the previous weeks game.

I can't remember which guys wore which. But, essentially, our best players wore a different color helmet than the rest of the players. I'm sure that made it difficult for opposing teams to track down our best players...

You are right as I recall. I think the wording was "Big 8 quality players" wore the red helmets.
Frankly I don't really care for any of them all that much. I think the current helmet is better than any of the previous ones. It probably doesn't help that a lot of those helmets are also associated with some awful losing football.
