I think it's needless clutter (see the above Eli Manning jersey for the slippery slope down which you can be led). Fair point, but what tips it for me is that their wordmark, imo, is among the best in the league. But if they took each of my other suggestions and left this one off, I’d still be beyond jazzed.

BBTV Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 3 hours ago, WSU151 said: Do you really need the warning label? Or the Al Davis memorial? I think that's a rule at all levels of football. Not certain why though. Nobody in history has ever suited up for a game, read the disclaimer on the back of the helmet, then said "sorry, no thanks." EDIT: when I was in jr high, the kids on the team with big heads had to go buy their own helmets. Helmets only came in white, but our team wore gold. We were told that if we painted our helmet that we had to cover the warning label so it could still be read after the spray painting, otherwise you couldn't play in games.

WSU151 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Yeah...I assume the main reason is to protect helmet companies from lawsuits regarding negligence. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this is disingenuous, because the Al Davis memorial patch is a unique element to the Raiders. Not every team will have a helmet that cluttered. Even then though? You could fit the Walter Payton award under the Davis memorial and to the right of the NFL shield. Would that look cluttered? Yes (though less so on most other teams), but I rather the back of a helmet be cluttered than the front of a jersey. 17 hours ago, WSU151 said: Do you really need the warning label? Or the Al Davis memorial? I think taking warning labels off of football helmets may send the wrong message As for the Al Davis memorial? I think a memorial to the man who very much WAS the Raiders while he was alive is more warranted than the American flag sticker. You don't see American (or Canadian) flags on the backs of NHL helmets do you? It's not an objection to the American flag in and of itself. Just its necessity on a NFL helmet. No one needs that sticker to be reminded that the NFL is American through and through. The League shield itself is modelled after the flag. 10 hours ago, Gupti said: As much as I think it should’ve been gone a long time ago, now would be a terrible time for the league to do anything like that regarding the flag, as it would seem. Probably. I just don't see the need for it. If you want to put it on for a week to celebrate the American armed forces? That's great, and a lot more tasteful then the camo overload they usually do. It's just boggling that it became a standard part of a NFL helmet's design.

El Scorcho Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I know we're 2 years into the throwbacks now, but god the Dolphins look so amazing in those throwbacks. You see heaps of them in the stands as well. Hopefully they go back to them full time before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may go to something similar to the throwbacks, but why lose out on the money? I agree that they are nice looking, but they do have some flaws that would need to be fixed if they were to use them on a more permanent basis.

Because if they switch, they could sell more with the throwback design than their current design. Then they could throwback to a different year and still have that source of revenue.

I'm just saying, the NBA has some thing where they will allow a similar design but not a carbon copy of a throwback logo or uniform to be used as a primary, and from a business perspective, it makes sense.

Easy. Use smaller numbers for the back of the helmet. You could easily fit two didgets in the space that “4” takes up if a smaller font was used.
