That is it and it is disgustingly hideous also

What makes it disgustingly hideous? The Cardinal? The color?

The everything?
It looks like someone took a bowling ball and slapped a Cardinals logo on it. I'm pretty sure I've had a strike with a ball that looked just like that.

I thought It was supposed to have a chrome Cardinal logo which would look awesome? This looks like some painted a old helmet and put a regular cardinals Logo which is what I'm hoping that it is not the actual helmet.

It looks like a stylized 3-D effect on the logo...and, it's missing the white key line as well.
I actually kind of like the design as an alternate helmet. Certainly wouldn't want it full-time.

The logo is dimensional, which can be seen by the depth of crest flares on the far right. The helmet is also not a stationary object which can be fully judged by a upfront still shot since it is made to be part of an attire in movement for an athlete, the red speckled helmet changing its appearance as the light reflects on it from a far and the speckles becoming more of a unified effect opposed to a mere detail pattern observation on the close surface. Then one has to take into account that not only is the design meant to act from a far, but it is also meant to interact with the uniform as a whole
I like the idea. Why not? It would be cool to have more designs on the helmet.
I'm going to trust that it's some kind of magic helmet that looks better in real life than in photos.

I am going to trust axioms of design and color with no need to fall back on magic... now as far as our interior OL, magic is all I got

JG, I'm cracking up. If all that explanation is necessary for someone to like the helmet, it's already a loss. I'm an immediate reaction kind of guy. Is the helmet nice or no. This is a flat out no for me. Respectfully, you sound like you're describing a Basquiat painting instead of an NFL helmet. Again, that's just my opinion good brother. No flame intended!

Impossible, Basquiat was more interested in coke and any element of design seldom applied to him lolJG, I'm cracking up.

Now THIS is how you do it. Simple and effective. Texans should change to this full time.

Wow! You're not feeling that??!! That is one clean helmet!
I liked the silver helmet that was posted earlier on the thread like this for the cards... That's a way to keep things clean and change the old ass white. Lol.

No, I’m not a fan of having the same color on a helmet be metallic on one part and non-metallic on another (the red on the logo). Looks mismatched to me.

I'm sure it looks much better in person. It's tough to judge from a photo. I went to a game at SDS against the Giants and I couldn't believe how much better their helmets looked in person. Since then Ive really liked the sparkled or metallic look.
what happened to the picture of the helmet???

The thing is the speckle effect is made to excel from a far and when in movement and it's really going to make the logo almost holographic setting up the dimensional qualities... the background allows the logo to almost float on the surface which I think is pretty cool

I like the helmet but it's going to seem off when seen with the rest of the Texan uniform, going to appear top heavy unless they darken the red on the rest of the uniform

I got you. That was the ONLY thing I hesitated on. What I appreciate is that they did not try to reinvent the wheel. Clean and crisp is the rule I live by for unis which is why our old fits were flat out among the top 3 in the NFL in my opinion. Some of the designs I saw suggested here for this helmet were doing 4 much!
