Why is the horned helmet representative of dragonborn? - Football Players in Blue and White Jersey Shirt and White Pants

You know the helmet I'm talking about. It has horns on it. It's famous.

So this helmet is low quality armor. I've played through the game a couple of times and I'm not even sure I've seen it. But so many youtube videos, meme images, and so on feature it as sort of a mascot for skyrim. Why? And where did this association come from? Is it one of those unfortunate instances where something that happens at the beginning of a game (encountering the helmet) becomes representative because a majority don't play through past a couple hours?
