It flairs out on the back of the helmet to mimic the red line in the logo. I think the same treatment would look kind of silly on the pants.

Of course, but I'm pretty sure the original poster meant that he would rather have the Helmet stripe match the Pants, where it would be straight, and not the Pant stripe match the Helmet.

Do that and it's one of my top in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 What in the world makes something "necessary" in uniform design? I don't get these takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much as necessary as unncessary. If you can have a simplistic design that looks good and traditional, it might not be necessary to add something to it.

Yeah I can't care about that. It's the same striping scheme, which is identical in my book. A small swoop on the back on the helmet doesn't move my annoyance meter, especially because the stripe is playing off of a key part of the logo. And if you look at the players from the front you can't even tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What defines good? I'm always looking for teams to do something that's unique to them, otherwise we'd have a bunch of teams with northwestern stripes running around. The Bills have that tapered red stripe in their logo, why not use it anywhere they want? That makes them more unique than wearing a standard helmet stripe. And it doesn't look bad.

The two “non-traditional” helmet stripes that have stuck out to me the most as being really good are the Bills and Broncos. I love how with Denver’s helmet, the stripe goes from back to front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tapered helmet stripe doesn't really bother me and I guess it fits with the logo and the Navy is barely noticeable. You can say it's not needed, and I'd probably agree but it doesn't bring down the look for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that annoys me to no end about that otherwise great Bills uniform is the fact they still feel the need to force the thin navy outlines...remove those and everything becomes much cleaner (and the red outlines can more freely breathe on their own--right now it looks more like purple from certain distances.) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block looks good as well, so I wouldn’t be too upset if they went back to it, but in all honesty I’d leave the font exactly the way it is if it was up to me. Completely agree. Not every team has to use a block font. The Steelers have a really cool, distinctive look with the current font, and they've won 2 Superbowls wearing it. Abandoning that to go back to a font half the NFL uses would be terrible IMO. Block-For-Block's-Sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many since that I can remember - although the Titans have a single stripe taper on their current navy helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
