Helmet stickers, also known as reward decals and pride stickers, are stickers that are affixed to a high school or college football player's helmet. They can denote either individual or team accomplishments.

The practice of awarding helmet stickers is often credited to Ernie Biggs, trainer at Ohio State University under legendary coach, Woody Hayes. But as recently shown on ESPN, the practice of awarding stickers has been credited to Jim Young (American football coach), former assistant coach at Ohio's Miami University in 1965, two years before they were used at Ohio State. The stickers stem from fighter pilots marking their planes with stickers after kills and/or successful missions.
