If the NFL is going to allow an alternative helmet...

[Rivercard]

I don't hate it, could definitely be worse. I almost even like it. Will have to see them in action though for a final verdict. If the red speckles get freaky in the sun/lights they could be super cool.

Think it’s meh.

Cincy’s has crushed everyone else’s to drop this off-season.

Ya, Cincy's is fantastic. They set a high bar.

Just saw the video on the website. The sticker of the logo looks horrible and ruins the whole thing. Why couldn’t they just paint the logo too?? Makes the helmet look so cheap. It could’ve been awesome. Typical Cardinals; on the right path but then they blow it.

This is my problem with it. The logo sticker looks like ass. You can see it best on Bucky's picks. It's printed on white stock and you can see a faint white edge all around the logo.

It should be on transparent stock so its seamless, ruins the whole thing.

You have to be real close to see the fleck. It's going to look plain black on TV.

Exactly. Looks like a really cool helmet that my kid slapped a $2 Cardinals’ sticker on

It's not going to look plain black, geez

Maybe it's a prototype of sorts?

If the red sparkles look bad in video and in photographs, what’s the point?

95% of your audience will exclusively see the helmet through those media.

FWIW, I like the enhanced logo more than I do the helmet itself.

It’s the real deal I’ve got one but was sworn to secrecy lol. I think I held off quite well as bad as I wanted to show it lol

Who paints logos on these days? Nobody.

I like it even more after seeing the video.

The Cards FB page has close ups that better show the red sparkle flakes on the helmet. If those shimmer in the light (which Bucky said they do), I could see these looking really awesome.

Still wish the face mask was yellow to resemble a beak, but knew that was a long shot to actually happen.

Yuck, looks like the team is going to be working at a powerplant or a coalmine

 

[Dr. Jones]

You guys dig bowling balls huh? Lol

Well..... I own three bowling balls so I am of that ilk. hahaha

Regardless, when I moved to 4k I started to notice the subtle differences in certain helmets. The Dolphins helmets come to mind instantly. They have a similar "glittery" look that I now love. I think these helmets could be a similar version in black.

I think you're being tough on the sport of bowling At my age, it's one of the few things I still do well

Love it! We should join a league Vince!

The Bengals' stripes are painted on...

...and FWIW, the (new) USFL's Michigan Panthers and New Orleans Breakers had hand-painted helmets. (I kid you not.)

 

[Jetstream Green]

Actually, that slight white along the trim of the logo is going to help the dimensional aspects come out more due to the contrast making the logo vibrate on the edges... that was a design approach done on purpose and not just because they selected a sticker surface
