The mandatory offseason black helmet thread...

Unless I am mistaken, they changed the rules and teams can no longer use alternate helmets. Something about safety concerns. Go figure. So it would have to be a permanent change.

I'm down for permanent. Never was a huge fan of the sparkly silver. I like black the most with the new logo because it looks seamless with the logo's black background. It basically just uses the outlines, so the bottom of the head has no line.

i.e. This...

The black Panther on silver reminds me of the Charger's jerseys. They look stupid because the bolt has a white/blue background depending on the jersey color. It looks like they put a sticker on and forgot to pull the paper off. If they removed the background (like on their helmets), it would look better.

So, my point is, they should either change to black helmets, or just use the panther outline on the helmet(again, see below. Sorry I could only find a car decal for the same effect). If they did the latter, both silver or even white helmets would look pretty cool.

Like the blue outline on the black helmet above, you could do blue or black on a white or silver helmet. You'd just have to itch the black background.

Still like black the best, but you get the idea.

    • I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.
    • Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.
    • Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
