OnWis97 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 So I just saw speculation that the Broncos might have three helmets. When I was a kid in the 1980s and 1990s, helmets were kind of a de facto secondary logo (and at times a primary logo for teams beyond Cleveland, like the Rams and Bengals). When college teams started bringing in multiple helmets, it made some sense because the schools are not just football teams and the branding wasn't as helmet-heavy (perhaps with Michigan and a few others as exceptions). I feel like NFL t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, and even hats showed football helmets a lot more back then than they do now...but maybe I'm misperceiving? But it now seems like the helmet is not as big a part of the NFL branding as it was a generation ago. Paired with the death of the one-helmet rule it seems like a bit of a chicken-and-egg thing. Are alternate helmets shifting branding away from a focus on helmets or does the shift away from helmets in branding enable alternate helmets? Also, while alternate jerseys make sense in the NFL (along with other sports and alternate MLB caps), are alternate helmets a big money maker? Is anyone going to go buy all three Broncos helmets (even in mini variety)? Or is it more of an indirect "marketing of the sport?" To me it feels a bit like watering down the image that the helmets create (or, at least that would be true of the helmets were stll a big part of marketing). 1 1 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

The Impaler Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 On the uni-watch article about the 3 helmet rule it states that Denver has hinted at using 3 helmets. That was a couple pages back here. At any rate, they also state it's been confirmed Denver's primary will be white. Did I miss something? I've only seen the speculation but not a confirmation.

I did some digging because I wanted to see how different the new logo was from some concepts and I found this by Empery Designs on Behance. It's identical but it's a great logo so hopefully (if it is real) they paid him great 11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be the primary for two years at most. By that time, "icy white" will have fallen out of style and the dark blue shell will become the main look until they opt for the inevitable 80s throwback set 5 years from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because black doesn't appear anywhere on the primary home/away options. Also alternate helmets aren't allowed to be paired with the primary jersey options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really the perfect logo for Denver and I hope they use it full-time at some point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOVER Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 1 hour ago, DCarp1231 said: A guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, says these are the Jets uniforms "Each alternate helmet color must be tied to a specific optional uniform and cannot be mixed/matched with primary uniforms or mixed/matched with another optional uniform." This 3rd-helmet rule may actually be a net-positive. If the Jets can only wear the Black helmet with an Alternate uniform, it'll only be worn with the Black uniform, since the Sack Exchange home & away don't have Black in the uniform design. No Black helmet should mean no Black pants are worn with the Sack Exchange home & away jerseys. So, we should only ever see: Green/Green/White Green/Green/Green Green/White/White Green/White/Green Black/Black/Black ..and their numerous sock color combos. Assuming they can still wear the Black jersey as an alternate mix & match with the Green helmet, I suppose we could get: Green/Black/White Green/Black/Green Green/Black/Black ...but those combos suck and are not historical, so maybe (hopefully) they'll not wear them.

oldschoolvikings Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I like everyone lawyering through the various NFL “rules” about how alternates can or can’t be matched with non alternate pieces. I guarantee we are giving much MUCH more thought to these “rules” than the teams will be once they start deciding what might look cool, or asking the fans or (even worse) the players what combo they should break out. They’ll do what they want and the league will, once again, adjust the rules to fit. In case you aren’t paying attention the slope is no longer just slippery, its f’n greased and we are officially going for the ride. 4 1 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
