Helmet Aesthetics

[WarHeel]

It has been mentioned many times that folks would like to see a uniform revamp of sorts. One of the common themes is removing the silver altogether or at least going with a black helmet but I haven’t seen much thought of a blue helmet. What does the Huddle think about this concept?

 

My opinion is that it certainly pops with the white unis.

Hate it.

I may be in the minority, but I really like our silver helmet. There really isn't anything i'd want changed with our current uniforms.

As an alternate helmet, yes, but a permanent mainstay, no.

I think we should eliminate the silver-- Our helmet looks too much like New England's helmet.  Then you have the lions, Raiders, etc. 

A black helmet would make us look like the Jags. 

I think our helmet logo would look good on a white helmet.  I think the silver looks stupid with our all-white uniforms that have no silver on them anywhere.

I dunno. I would love to lose the silver out of the uniforms.  We have too many colors.  3 should be tops if you include white.

Don’t like the blue helmet at all. I don’t really mind the silver helmets, but I think they should lost the two half stripes going from front to back.

I like the idea of changing it up, but it looks like the UNC Panthers

I'd be okay with it. It looks a little like an arena league helmet, but I'm sure it would grow on me.

I'm also over the silver helmet. It's too retro - I see that spangly ass helmet and just think grainy Dallas Cowboys footage from the 60s-  and doesn't go at all with our color scheme.

Black, agreed would look terrible with out white unis, and a black logo on a black helmet? Don't like white. Looks too much like Indy.

This at least is a color that would be uniquely our own. And in a team that badly need a new identity, or rather has been thrust into finding one, I think making the change would be representative of our organization; new look, eliminating the mistakes of the past, and innovating rather than trying to copy other teams.

I like that idea

I’m not sure white would work either but it would be the only look I’d be willing to give a shot but the silver helmet should stay. Black or blue helmet would look freaking STUPID. 

As far as jerseys go, if they’re ever going to change them I hope it’s very subtle. Maybe remove the stripes over the shoulders and just go with a very clean look or add a couple stripes around the sleeves with the logo over top. 

Clean and classic is what works long term. This blue/black helmet and new stupid nike jersey designs are having team recycle through jerseys every couple years.

What’s the basis of your question?

[callofthewild]

White helmet, yes!  Can someone work your Photoshop magic and show us that?

My only suggestion is we never wear the white jersey with black pants again.
