landfill Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'm sure I am not the only one to notice that white helmets are not matching the jerseys for some teams. For example, Arizona Cardinals and BC Lions. Is there a reason for this? Can they not make the helmet colour white instead of cream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 thats what i said in the cards thread heres a good example. the helmet and jersey just dont seem to match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 It's just different material and different light reflection. The helmets are indeed white, not cream, and every team that has a white helmet has a problem with it, especially at night. PANTONE knows the exact answer.

PANTONE knows the exact answer. but it seems lthat teams like the Titans can make the helmets and jerseys match a little bit better. Is that because they have more of that metallic flake in the shell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that because they have more of that metallic flake in the shell? I guess so. Then again, I though Arizona had the metallic finish on their helmets, so...

Geoff Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Also, some teams have pearls which make it be and look un white. i.e. University of Louisville and Miami (FL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brinkeguthrie Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 wouldnt the cards helmets look cool if they were red, and the bird logo had a white outline to set it off?repeat after me...red bird, red helmet...red bird, red helmet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I've always thought that the Cards helmet was a little off-white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 The simple answer to this: No more white helmets. A think a more reasonable solution would be to switch to fabric helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 The simple answer to this: No more white helmets. A think a more reasonable solution would be to switch to fabric helmets. But some teams would still mess that up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Saw a little bit of the Cardinals game tonight...the helmets (on TV at least) are definitely white, and match the jersey color... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 That's the problem - since you're trying to match two different types of material, what matches on television won't match on film won't match what you take with your digital camera won't match when you look at it in person under natural light won't match under artificial light.It's easier for colors than for white - the difference in the whites just stands out more.

On the helmet-front: Has any team ever expeirence a 2-Helmet "wardrobe"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Only the Redskins a couple years ago, when they wore throwbacks for all home games.The NFL prohibits "home" and "road" helmets. Fair enough - so much of the marketing of the NFL is done using graphics of the helmets. They want to keep it simple. The Seahawks asked for permission when they launched their new scheme but were denied. The only reason Washington got away with it was because theirs was a throwback.

rmackman Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 You're always going to get a white helmet that doesn't match exactly. Look at these! If you look hard you'll see it never matches EXACTLY but it's white so who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
