Anyone care to mock up a Pats helmet with a Navy mask? Maybe with the Red/White/Red stripe from a few pages back? Here's a super quick and dirty Photoshop with a navy mask....

I'm willing to bet that we would consider a lot of "subtle" changes to actually be "dramatic". 7 minutes ago, HailGoldPants said: Here's a super quick and dirty Photoshop with a navy mask.... The only way that helmet works with a stripe is if it's a tapered one like the Ravens. The logo is too long and too pointy to be mixed with a stripe.

chcarlson23 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The red facemask adds a lot of pop and really stands out, making it a very unique helmet in the NFL. The silver and the navy would just kinda fade away into the background. As for the uniforms, I honestly really like the design of the currents for the most part. The only meh part is the side panels. I’d hope that ditching those would be all that they’re doing. The road is where it’s the most notable, but even ditching it on the home would be good. The color rushes could also be good. However, the stripes are too red heavy. A WRW stripe would look a lot better... "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

oldschoolvikings Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The red mask sucks. Should be navy. It's almost as bad as Washington's yellow mask. Ick. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light colored helmet over dark jersey... match the facemask to the jersey. Simple, never fails. This is what the Patriots need to do.

This is what the Patriots need to do. The red mask is clownish. Silver/gray facemask would still work better than navy. The Raiders/Cowboys/Lions have gray/silverish facemasks that don't match the jersey and look great. A Cowboys helmet with a navy facemask would look awful. The Browns gray facemask is better than the brown facemask. Some would say the Packers gray facemask worked better than the green. I'm literally giving you the argument of "gray facemask is better" (which you championed for years) and, maybe to be contrarian, you're like "nah, I have a new rule".

Ha! I thought we were debating navy vs red. You're right... Gray is always a legitimate option, and very often the best one. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavybass Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 So far we are 1-1 in terms of new looks. Chargers look good whilst Rams looks like a mess... but it depends on uniforms. Just waiting on the Falcons to disappoint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froob Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Chargers should do light blue pants (but no powder blue color rush look), white pants and yellow pants (only to be worn a few times). Powder blue and yellow pants would pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojopeligreeno Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Pats fan here,the red mask to me brings red one of the teams colors to the forefront in a way the uniforms don’t and strikes a nice balance to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 The red facemask is one of my favorite touches. It really makes the whole uniform less drab. I agree that by most books, it should be blue, but there's exceptions to every rule.
