Riddell made two sets of helmets for Salt Lake:

 

 

Actually, I think those are the regular helmets, just not finished. 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

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.

Think I'm officially onboard the Birmingham needs helmet logos train. 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.

What exactly is on the SLC helmet? I know it's part of the logo, but......just.....why?!?

[Gothamite 24,070]

Indeed. 

 

Looks like Minnesota United’s wing jerseys.  

 

 

Their stallion looks like a Pegasus - isn’t it?

Part of the stallion logo's mane. Guess they wanted to do something different than just put the horse logo on the sides.

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.

Wonder if there will be an alternate jersey in Atlanta-San Diego game?  That shade of purple vs dark grey is a clash.

I get its the mane. It's just done extremely poorly. Like, comically poorly. It looks like a cartoon horse stuck his hoof in an electric socket. Manes don't look like that......ever.

It might be a pegasus. Odd wing placement, if so. They shouldn't of went that route. Non mythical horses that can't fly played a much bigger role in Utah's history than mythical horses that can fly.

Not to mentiond gold/tan pants vs light gray pants. As well as gold helmet decals vs metallic yellow decals.

Yeah that’s what gets me. Everything seems so homogenous. 

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.

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.

boo.  Somebody needs to break out some whites. Watching on TV now . 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. 

[AgentColon2 2,516]

Oh yeah this is dark on dark. Yikes.

[Sykotyk 954]

I can pick them out, but in piles they blend together. Atlanta needed the whites. 

[ZipperClub 249]

And with Dean Blandino as the sky judge. Lord help us.

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.

[4_tattoos 1,474]

Legends definitely should have worn white jerseys. They can't make this mistake again smh.

[jn8 2,638]

I think the purple is bright enough to easily separate both teams
