These megasized mums have to have become more popular in the last ten years because when I was in HS there was nothing that big! Rule of thumb: if you can't pin it on your clothes and you need a strap around your neck to hold it up, it's too big!
I guess homecoming mums started more as a guy gave it to the girl he took to the homecoming dance, but I didn't notice that in HS. On homecoming game day lots of girls (and some guys - girls usually made garter mums for their boyfriends) wore mums to school and then to the game. I also think most people made mums when they were a more reasonable size lol.
