Real Life Chargers Throwback Helmet Concept

Over the last year or so, I've started making concepts helmets. My latest is an alternate Chargers throwback. I love their old white throwback, but wondered what a blue one would look like. Below are the results....

The powder blue that I originally wanted seemed too light and didn't look that good (IMO), so I went with more of a sail blue. This shade is in between the powder and the blue of the Fouts era Chargers.

Let me know what you think.

I think it would look better without the numbers, but you have a solid concept here.

Thanks buddy. Yeah, I really grappled with using the numbers or not. It just felt right for me to use them, so I rolled with it.

I think if the numbers were gold they'd pop a bit more and make this one truly sick helmet. Just curious, do you have any process photos? I'd love to see what went into this project.

This is the 10th or 12th helmet I've made. During the first several, I took a lot of photos of the process. As I do more, I don't document the process as much as I used to. However, I did document the process of one of my favorite helmets.... http://stevebcreations.com/redskins-diy-feather-helmet/

I'm a fan of this helmet. I've never liked gold facemasks but this one seems to work with the rest of the helmet.

I think these are very nice, however...I have always thought the numerals looked stupid and in this case, they get completely lost on the helmet. Dump them and I give this 2 thumbs up.
