FormerLurker Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 If they go white helmets I really want to see them in matte. Gloss finish white helmets drive me crazy because they are always a shade or two darker than true white and against white jerseys they look more like pearl. Matte white helmets fix that issue and look gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucsBoy02 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I have to agree that the logos need work. The current ones are to clean. The previous logos had rips and tears and imperfections that gave them character. One problem I have is with the current ships colors, its fine if you use it on a pewter background since the red stand out. But when used on red like on their color rush set I feel like it gets lost. Here are a few examples I've been working on. 97-13 colors Current Colors Current colors black/grey ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The marks across the top of the skull (a la the '97 logo) really are an improvement. Bald shiny skull just looks way too contrived. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see pewter sticking around because NIKE doesn't do shinny material. Correct, because stretch dazzle as a performance material is outdated. It also reaks of the 90's. We need to get over this fact. Football jerseys were at one time cotton. Then nylons came in. Then mesh, your beloved razzle dazzle, and so on. Today, it's proprietary wovens that are lighter, cooler, more durable, dry faster, and stretch. That material performs best...and it just happens to be a matte material. sOrRy itz nOt ShINnY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch dazzle looks so much better than matte. You SHOULD be sorry it's not shiny It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matte white helmets fix that issue and look gorgeous. This is the first thing you've ever posted that I've agreed with. Matte White helmets are stunning. Especially when the other components have a satin, gloss, or chrome finish to them for contrast. The problem with Matte White is that they mark up like crazy, and they actually do yellow over time when played in dirt. Had a team switch to Matte White helmets for a season a few years back and switched to Gloss White the next b/c by the end of the season, all of their helmets were off-white. The matte finish collects, where a gloss finish is smoother and easier to clean and doesn't retain dirt particles. UCF has two of the nicest helmets in the land, their Matte White and their Satin Grey. The problem with both in the NFL is that what makes them so great in amateur levels is the ability for the hardware to be Black. With standard White nose & rear neck bumpers, there's not enough contrast. Until the NFL changes that rule, and I doubt they would, these can't be as good as they should be.

It needs a red facemask, but other than that, it looks sharp... This concept is really well done and the helmet overall looks great, except for the Arena League/XFL/AAF helmet stripe. Could keep a White mask and go no/new stripe, or go with a Black or Silver Mask. Could easily trade out to Creamsicle for throwbacks, if you're into that. White does seem more probable but really none of us know jack squat right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That logo, on matte white (as has been mentioned also) with complimentary uniforms would be spectacular. Bring back orange as a primary color...although it doesn't have to be quite creamsicle. If they went with this I'd be a pretty happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
