MJWalker45 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 We already have too many teams with white helmets that would look better with colored lids (Charger, Jets, possibly Cardinals and Titans), let's not add to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely agree on the Chargers and Jets. Both teams would look infinitely better with non-white helmets. Disagree on the Cardinals and Titans. Haven't those teams traditionally always had white helmets? concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 4 of them have traditionally white helmets, so I'm not sure how you agree with the first two based on the second two. It's where I sit.

Disagree on the Cardinals and Titans. Haven't those teams traditionally always had white helmets? If you went by their time as the Oilers, the Titans had light blue helmets as well. 1 minute ago, Sec19Row53 said: All 4 of them have traditionally white helmets, so I'm not sure how you agree with the first two based on the second two. Traditionally the Jets and Chargers have had their best success, not counting Super Bowl III, in colored helmets. The Cardinals have worn white forever and a change would be glaring, but I think it would be an improvement even if their fans may initially cringe.

CS85 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I really want a Browns that basically looks like this. The Browns can't have a white helmet, because the helmet IS their brand. No matter how many times they try to shoehorn a wordmark, it's simply not going to work. The Browns have the helmet, the bulldog, and the elf. That's fine. It's unique, it's weird, it's Cleveland. Orange, Brown, White. Flat, matte, simple, clean. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

"Traditionally have always" was the phrased I used. I guess what I meant was that they've basically had white helmets uninterrupted for several decades, rather than the Jets and Chargers, who went from white to navy/green for a couple decades in the 80s-00s. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope the Jets have definitely had more success in white helmets. They have been to 3 AFC Titles in white lids and only 1 in green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOVER Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 While I don't think they'll switch to a White helmet, both Oregon State and Oklahoma State have had some great looks with the White lid and Orange/Black color scheme. (boo those truncated stripes): This, with full helmet & pant stripes, and 1-color block numbers and matching sleeve stripes (basically, back to their original unis, but matching up the stripes) would indeed work. White on White is beautiful: White over Dark: White over Orange: In my opinion, these are still king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DouglasQuaid Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Just go back to these and wear white at home. No word marks, just classic stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDizzle12 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 The smartest thing for Nike, the NFL and the Browns to do is involve Cleveland fans, coaches and players in the process. Don't let them design anything obviously. But do focus groups and gauge reactions before everything is official. If they cared enough to do it the first time, they wouldn't be in this mess. Imagine if they did something dumb like white helmets and we have to wait 5 years to see it fixed again? or forcing us to watch all white uniforms for another 5 years.

oldschoolvikings Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Never never never ask the players. Never. Just look at CFB, involving the players in the uniforms ends in a train wreck every time. I know they're the ones who are going to wear them, but that doesn't mean their aesthetic judgements are worth a crap. When I have a plumber in to fix the toilet, I don't ask him what color I should paint the bathroom walls. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have been more specific. I definitely don't think the players and coaches should design the uniforms. I was thinking of more practical reasons why the players/coaches would be opposed to uniform designs. Like the current guys hating the brown jerseys, because they can't read the orange numbers. A problem that never would have happened if they did proper research in the beginning. The NFL has such strict rules, they need to get it right this time.

Period. The only thing I would change is to get rid of the chest word marks. IMO most, if not all chest word marks should be removed from jerseys.
