You have the templated stripes that are already painted from when the helmets got painted.. And they ARE all template stripes.. They may be laid on the helmet by hand add in slightly different positions, but one set of masking stripes is identical to another before it goes onto the helmet.. They do make vinyl that thin, so for one game, it could work.. This isn't Pepe Lepew where they paint his tail and pretend he's a cat. There's no vinyl that is as thin as a layer of paint and even if the orange decal matches the existing stripe or not, at that thickness it's very pliable and would be a tall order to accurately cover the existing stripe without exposing the bottom stripe. Then let's say you do manage to cover all 6 stripes without exposing any of the black stripes, GUESS WHAT now you've 6 orange vinyl decals on top of a gloss orange helmet and the likelihood of the colors and textures matching so that's it doesn't look ridiculous is zero. It would look awful. It's still not a realistic solution. The only way they could make the arced BENGALS orange throwback helmet happen if is the NFL relaxes its ridiculous one helmet policy or working under said policy, the Bengals go back to orange shells with black decals for a season.

This is the one I am making as a Redskins concept! But I made the gold be more athletic gold than old gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose this would lock the throwback game into the first preseason game, but then again at least all the games that count would be played with the coolest helmet in the league. Everybody is overthinking it. I think all they need to do is go back to actual decals for the stripes for one season and do the decal/facemask switcheroo prior to the throwback game. Then the year after they can go back to painted helmets, which supposedly require less upkeep from the equipment staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Not a change, just a stupid choice of lettering on what appears to be a knock-off jersey: "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

It's still not a realistic solution and would look like s### no matter how you try to explain it. Again, an extra paint job isn't an option.

DCarp1231 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 More of a number choice type of deal, but am I the only one who thinks Derrick Henry should choose a jersey number in the 40s as opposed to a number in the 20s (he wears 2 now and apparently he likes 24) He seems to be built like a player who should wear 40-49.

PrimalCookie Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Maybe a minor find here, but on the Panthers 2016 jersey schedule page, if you scroll all the way down, there is a logo of a panther on top of SC making the shape of NC. Potential new secondary logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazerBlaze Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Thats a very crude SC outline. Looks more like an arrowhead than SC really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 that panther is on top of NC (which is on top of SC)... the silhouette there is of BOTH states, not just SC and i think that logo has been around for at least a short while now..

BlackBolt3 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Yeah it's a somewhat used logo for their community events and projects. I wouldn't mind it being used as a secondary logo, but it would need some refinement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
