Favorite Helmets

The article gets some right, but really misses on a lot.

 

Eagles one of the best? Not even close, not when you ommitt current classics like Green Bay, Colts and Cleveland. And how can any list exclude the classci Patriot helmet with "Pat the Patriot"? One of best helmets/uniforms of all time, they should never of switched.

 

Chargers powder blue's are ugly. Truly ugly and soft. The current version is so much better, I am long convinced that peoples facination with them is nothign more than hearing Chris Berman say he loves them, and everybody jumping onto a mass market-bandwagon and agreeing so as not to seem uncool.

 

The worst list includes Raiders helmet, which love us or hate us, is an absolute joke. So bad it still leads in merchandise sales? Whatever. But to include the Steelers, with the unique one-sided logo in the worst list? No way. The Jets retro design is a fantastic uniform, a huge improvement from that personality-less helmet they had for 25 years.

 

But they nailed that Buffalo travesty. That same criticism extends to their whole uniform, its a total mess tryign to be everythign to everyone and pleasing none. Just revert to the old red, standing buffalo and be done with it.

 

Also love that Redskins Spear helmet. Best throwwback helmet in NFL as it is a HUGH improvement over their regular one.

This is what makes the NFL such a great league! The tradition that goes with each and every team. Unlike most other North American sports (NHL, NBA) these teams aren't making a logo or colour change every 2-3 years just to spark some income through retail sales.

 

The Raiders logo and colours are classic. Which is what sparks such an appeal to all fans (whether they be huddler homers, or the occasional "let's catch a game" fan). The Raiders colours and logo are NFL classics, like the Yankees to baseball, or the Maple Leafs to hockey, further still the Knicks to basketball.

 

All that being said, here's my fav's

 

Colts, Steelers, Bengals, Giants/Jets, Eagles, Skins, Niners, Phins, Lions & Panthers (not so retro)
