It also makes me slightly less worried about what the Broncos are apparently going to do. Watch those reddit rumors be correct but for only the alternate jersey and third helmet.

MJD7 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 This is the slippery slope I feared when it came to the allowing for alternate helmets. Two helmets was pushing it, but it allowed for fun throwback designs like the Bucs and Seahawks. But a third helmet design feels unnecessary for pretty much every team. At this point, they might as well allow teams to have as many helmets as they want, like it's college (not that I would endorse that). I wouldn't say I'm a hardcore traditionalist by any stretch, but the one-helmet-rule was a nice limitation that kept brands intact for the limited 17-game season and elevated helmets to a central component of the brand. Now, I can't think of any team with two helmets that would benefit from a third one. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy, Cleveland. 3 different shades of orange and 3 different facemask colours, so everyone here is satisfied and can shut up. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMU Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 At least the two Charger alts can get alt helmets now to actually have them historically accurate color-wise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah by no means should this be the main helmet, but this is about as good as a gradient helmet could get and wouldn't be the worst thing for a team like Arizona's alternate uniforms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and gold don't fade into each other well at all. Not only was it not a gradient, but they used matte paint on the front and glossy on the back. On top of that they claimed that the Jaguar was coming out of the shadows. Yet he's going from a light background into dark. Gradients on helmets can work in some applications. But the Jaguars helmet was one of the worst design decisions in NFL history. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would really be best case scenario and I would be perfectly fine with that. I am fine with a traditional classy home/away set with a slightly more modern alternate design. And if the Broncos roll out a traditional home and away paired with an alternate of white helmet/orange mountain jersey, that would be okay in my book.

VDizzle12 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 15 hours ago, rfraser85 said: A couple things to consider for those afraid of the NFL being turned into Oregon. First, imagine coming up with and producing 17 uniforms for 32 teams with 53 players each. That would cost a ton, even by Nike or NFL standards. Second, the NFL could have a policy similar to MLB's 4+City Connect for uniforms. It may not be official, but there's practicality to it. Finally, the jersey is one of the first things used to identify teams, if not the first. A different design every week would kill that. We know Oregon because that's the only team to use weekly uniforms. The mix and match potential could get ugly, but there is a limit to what the NFL and Nike can do. Everyone on the internet nowadays wants to be right and say "I told you so!" Back in 2012 everyone was convinced that Nike was going to turn the NFL into Oregon. That idea was even more prominent here, especially among traditionalists. Every year since, people post about the "slippery slope" and "Here we go! It's happening now!" But after almost 12 years, no NFL team has reached the Oregon level. No NFL team is randomly adding colors like volt green into their uniforms. No team has "city connect" uniforms. No team is wearing a different helmet every week. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas alt helmet idea: a royal blue star outlined in black, with navy blue stripes, and a helmet shell that has a gradient from seafoam green to true silver. Just make everyone's heads on this board completely explode I like your idea though. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this uniform's greatest magic trick was that the gradient helmet was so bad, discussion about the absolutely nonsensical plastic material on the shoulders went by the wayside.

PurpleHayes Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 From UniWatch: Lions president Rod Wood says that the team’s forthcoming new unis will be “one of the great uniforms” in the NFL. Pretty sure that's what reps from the Bills said in 2002... ...and the Jaguars in 2013 ...and the Buccaneers in 2014 ...and the Browns in 2015 ...and the Titans in 2018 ...and the Jets in 2019 ...and the Falcons in 2020 ...and the Commies in 2022 ...and the Cardinals in 2023 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
