Create an image of two college football helmets, one in purple and silver representing Kansas State University, and the other representing the University of Texas. The helmets should be positioned as if they are about to collide head-on. In the center, place a stylized 'Big XII' logo that looks like it's shattering or exploding due to the force of the helmets hitting it. The background should be a simple, neutral color to draw attention to the drama of the colliding helmets and the exploding 'Big XII' logo. Ensure the helmets do not feature any real logos or trademarks, but are clearly in the respective school colors. The image should be in a 16:9 ratio.
