Lightningfan Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Always liked the Ravens current even though they have been panned many times. I would enlarge the logo slightly and move it down a little so it does not take up space on helmet like the chargers bolt does.The example above of Ravens is how it should look. Not how it actually looks. The logo is smaller and higher up on helmet.Also loved all the USFL...especially the Gamblers, Bandits, Stallions, Panthers(even though I may have used different colors for the Panthers and slightly enlarged the Bandits logo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkwing Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Best helmet alltime in any league (IMO): Boston/New Orleans/Portland Breakers of the USFL.Funny thing about that helmet. When it came to Portland, in the Breakers' third incarnation, it apparently made quite an impression on their assistant coach, Tom Smythe. After the USFL folded, Smythe eventually found himself coaching the Lakeridge HS Pacers of Lake Oswego, Oregon. Their light-and-dark-blue colors worked well on a helmet whose decal was practically identical to this one.After winning the state football championship in 1987, Smythe went on to coach Lewis & Clark, a D-III college in Portland. The L&C Pioneers soon were taking the field in their black and orange uniforms ... and that same stripe pattern.A few years later, Smythe returned to the HS ranks and took the reins of the McNary Celtics (near Salem). Their blue-with-black trim makes the SAME STRIPES look a little better that L&C.Let's recap. Breakers -- waves, a wavy stripe, I get it. Pacers, well, uh, maybe. Pioneers -- was it for the waves of rushing rivers on the trail? And I don't even know where to go with Celtics.It just seems weird. Could you imagine Dick Vermeil making the Chiefs or Rams wear wings on their helmets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NissanNut Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 The best ever? I don't know about that, but it's way better than a brown George Washington. Please bring these back with the gold pants. I'll hate the Redskins if they do instead of despise them. That's a step up in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slater Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 The old-style Rams helmets with the yellow horns. Just a classic design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random_ax Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I'm not into logos that are simply letters and I really like pictorials so...........TOP 5 5. Texans (although I hate the name, wasn't it rumored to be the Toros at first?4. Hamburg Sea Devils... Yep, NFL Europe.3. Redskins.... some people may have a problem with the "noble savage" in terms of protesting the use of Indoian logos/mascots but I love this one.2. Oaland Raiders..... Just look good,baby!!!! and my all-time favorite... SEATTLE SEAHAWKS... the revised version is even better than the original. I recall reading an article about the NFL maybe back in the '80s and a survey was done among NFL players and they overwhelmingly chose the Seahawk helmet as their favorite too.Least favoritePackersGiants49ersLetsBearsSteelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning River Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 My favorite is Seattle. Back in the early 80s not too long after they became an expansion team, my mom used to order me Seahawks stuff from the Sears catalogue. I had the "fake" jerseys, sweatshirt and a winter coat and hat! Living in Cleveland, people were like "WTF is up with this kid?".Current Seattle is nice, I agree silver would be better. I also like the newer Chargers look. Saints and Browns too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
