The white part is a mask and the silver is painted on over the blue. In this picture you can kind of tell based on the bottom spike(?) and some parts where the silver didn’t cover completely 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 You know what, you’re right. On second look, you can see the white tape (?) covers the ventilation holes on the helmet. Good catch! Though, I’d prefer light blue helmets to gray. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'd prefer if they just had a silver B instead of the main logo. The B in the football is a perfect helmet logo. Why they aren't using it on the helmet is baffling. At least they should fix that awful stripe. With a normal straight stripe the blank helmet would not look so bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumptious Ham Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 What exactly is on the SLC helmet? I know it's part of the logo, but......just.....why?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Indeed. Looks like Minnesota United’s wing jerseys. Their stallion looks like a Pegasus - isn’t it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the stallion logo's mane. Guess they wanted to do something different than just put the horse logo on the sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I don't love that it's obvious that the whole league was done by the same design team - I'd prefer more diversity, rather than it being obvious that they aren't really individual tems but branches of a corporation - but overall, it's impossible to argue that the league isn't killing it from a design aspect. From a branding standpoint, it's clearly the best non-NFL football league since the USFL. Well done by Joe and team. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosfam Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Wonder if there will be an alternate jersey in Atlanta-San Diego game? That shade of purple vs dark grey is a clash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a cartoon horse stuck his hoof in an electric socket. Manes don't look like that......ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non mythical horses that can't fly played a much bigger role in Utah's history than mythical horses that can fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know all teams are centrally owned but letting each team experiment with their brand would make for a more diverse and “authentic” looking league, for lack of a better term.

4_tattoos Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I took a look at both the Legends and Fleet's twitter pages. Atlanta had their purple jerseys hanging up in the locker room and San Diego was doing warmups on the field in their grays. Guess the league thinks there will be sufficient contrast between their uniforms. We're about to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn't look right to me. Fleet would also look better with dark gray pants with yellow chevrons. Maybe an all light gray road look with dark gray chevrons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to say this as well. If there's a bit of separation I can pick bkth out but if it's a run up the gut it's a jumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Legends definitely should have worn white jerseys. They can't make this mistake again smh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
