IMO, anytime a helmet and facemask are the same color (outside of white and black), it looks very cheap. The top one does look better. Navy helmets with navy facemasks (like Bears, Broncos) look just fine to me. 16 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I can agree on the Bears and Broncos. I wouldn’t expect them to try anything drastic like orange facemasks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinturner95 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Has anyone come in with the "it depends on the team?" comment yet? The Packers are a good example to me that could work with a grey facemask but look better in a team color facemask. The Cowboys on the other hand, I think would look better in a navy facemask opposed to their current silver one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Personally, I’d rather have Washington use a gray facemask) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonny Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 23 hours ago, Lights Out said: By that logic, wouldn't a white facemask be better? It doesn't get more "neutral" and "invisible" than being the same color as the rest of the helmet. Not to me anyway. Miami’s white face mask is so distracting to me, perhaps because of its brightness. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the Packers should look as much as possible like the unis worn in SB 1&2. But I really wouldn't mind keeping the green mask. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Nope, you're not the only one, I would also like to see Vikings with white facemask. Black facemask for Raiders sounds great too and what about Bills in my opinion red helmet>white helmet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I remember seeing a graphic on a pregame show for Washington that had a burgundy helmet with white/gold/white stripes and a white facemask. It actually looked decent. I’ve tried looking for it again, but can’t seem to find it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Not that my opinion of it matters one ioda, but I've long thought the Footballs' yellow gold masks as garish. It may just be because yellow is so bright on its own, but I never understood why they went that route rather than color-keying the masks to the helmets. 3 *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...

The Vikings wore white masks briefly in the early ‘80s. I thought they were too much of a distraction, and looked especially bad with the white uniforms. Switching to purple masks was a big upgrade. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
