This is stupid 

Why?

To be clear, I'm not a member of the brigade that's been pining for this over the last several years, but I don't really see a problem with it.

To be honest, it's kind of a cool look.

The Panthers just Malibu Stacy'd their fan base. I'm not mad at them.

Hey, come on now. That's just...

 

Damn

My main concern with the black helmet craze is the impact on hot, sunny days.  That is probably why we won't see them until November.

The only research I have found on the subject of helmet color dealt with motorcycle helmets.  Granted, they are different, but the temperature difference between a dark helmet and a light helmet on a hot, sunny day was quite noticeable. 

There is a reason the Miami Dolphins helmets have always been white.  Someone proposed a aqua helmet several years ago that was popular with the fans but the team shot it down.  Of course, Jacksonville has black helmets, but I'm not sure we want to point to them as a good counterpoint.

Can't say I ever wore a black helmet, but I absolutely remember helmets being frigging miserable in the middle of July or August

And just think, if we didn't troll the fug out of Dave Dameshek, this might not have happened.

Greatest online movement I’ve ever experienced.

Tepper beta testing the black helmets to gauge interest. Hopefully the feedback is enough to move forward with this permanently.
