Flag free Maryland... let's get turtle on there...

I've done Big Ten football concepts before, but I usually get new ideas and I have a new template, so... Moving east to west, starting with Rutgers.

I hate Florida’s font.

No no no …. We were discussing bad uniform matchups, not amazing ones.

The one you’re looking for is Falcons gradient vs Lions dull gray mono.

Yawn.

The blue over blue is bad. The no stripes pants are bad.

I would say Nike does most things better than Reebok, but I can't take anyone seriously who drinks the Nike kool-aid this completely. And as for the handful of things that were better pre-Nike, I would submit... This... Over this...

Denver’s uniform is so old and tired i actually hear creaking noises when i look at a picture of it. When something that was once the very definition of cutting edge gets old, it gets startlingly old.

OK, so I was wrong. I thought the Browns finished it off, but I hadn't done the Texans. (Actually, I did the Texans, but as a speculative, what-if, luv ya blue concept. So in my head, it doesn't fit with all the others.) So... Texans...

So, 2 months ago, I started to rework all my NFL concepts onto this new tweaked template I drew, just because I liked the way the pants stripes and socks looked so much. Now, with the Cleveland Browns, I got thru all 32 teams, Everybody got 4 uniforms and two helmets (although if I was magically given control of the NFL's uniforms, it's extremely doubtful I'd feel the need to do that). 24 of the teams got one alternate and one throwback. 5 teams (the Panthers, Cardinals, Commies, Ravens, and Dolphins) got two alternates uniforms, but no throwbacks. 3 teams (the Chargers, Packers, and Giants) got two throwbacks. Almost all the teams got vastly improved socks IMO. It was fun to do. I hope anybody checking in liked looking at them. Feedback is always appreciated. So, here are the Browns...

Best chrome helmet in the NCAA = prettiest waitress at Denny’s

Interesting. Do they then have 3 helmets?

Teams can only have one alternate shell. I believe you can swap out logos on the same color shell, creating more looks. The Cowboys did just that.

The chrome helmet is terrible.

Admit it... you said this just to get under everyone's skin. This... Will NEVER not look better than this...

Interesting fact I heard today about that Lions alt helmet logo. Apparently, the Lion will be flipped so he's always facing forward, but the stripes will not. On both sides, the blue will be to the left of the gray.

Correct. It's a play on an old Ford Mustang logo... both the car and the football team being Ford products...

And yet, surprisingly, not as ugly as the one its replacing. Actually, no one had to say it. Honestly.

I mentioned a page or so back that its been mentioned here in Detroit that this helmet was designed with next year’s rebrand in mind. Let the wreckless speculation begin.

I like that logo as a stand alone, but I feel like it fits awkwardly on a helmet. And does every new helmet have to have some kind of unique finish? At some point (and we may already be there) unique becomes commonplace and you realize it wasn’t as cool as you thought.
