Football is littered with traditions that center around building a sense of team and purpose – as a way of keeping the players motivated on the gridiron.

It is particularly important within football because of the week to week pounding that the players take, so it is understandable why so many of these ‘gimmicks’ have come to be.
But while some motivational tactics do end up just being gimmicks – like funerals for footballs after a bad game or the infamous turnover chain, which seemed to have a million different iterations of it last season… There are some tactics that have transcended ‘gimmick’ and lived on past the coaches that introduced them and the players that originally used them… These ‘gimmicks’ have become rituals that are truly ingrained in the culture of the programs that leverage them.

One of these rituals is the use of helmet sticks, reward decals – or pride stickers – whatever you want to call them. The little icons stuck to the back of so many schools’ helmets. And while it is easy to accept these helmet stickers as a part of football today, it is pretty interesting to take a look back at how a tradition that runs so deep started.

There are actually some conflicting reports as to how exactly it is that they started – more so WHO was the mastermind behind this grand tradition.
