New Look For Cardinals Helmets

[Strategos]

I have created an updated, cutting edge, helmet design to help mold the Cardinals as the elite organization in the league. As you know, a team’s football helmet is the true identity of any franchise in the NFL. The Cardinals’ current helmet design, to put it bluntly, represents failure and mediocrity. I created this new design because of all the negative comments I kept hearing about the current helmet. The aesthetic enhancements of the Cardinals updated traditional bird-head logo and the complete re-design of the team’s uniforms are spectacular, but the helmet still looks like the old version even though the old logo was replaced. This does not fit well with the new look and attitude that the team and fans are looking for.

My new design for the Cardinals helmet takes what has been done with the new logo and new uniforms to the next level. This design is not only more modern and fierce, but also way more intimidating to the opponent. The coolest part of this new helmet design is that it incorporates the updated bird-head logo; in essence, turning the whole helmet into the logo itself by putting the eyes of the logo on the shell of the helmet and making the facemask the beak of the Cardinal. By doing this, the new logo and most merchandise do not have to be changed. This new helmet will definitely give the team and fans a new attitude.

I have also noticed that most of the Cardinals’ ads and billboards put emphasis on the eye of the Cardinals logo, and my helmet design does exactly the same thing. This new Cardinals helmet design would be the premier helmet in the NFL.

Hey, I love it...!!

you know, usually when I click on these type of threads, I'm already expecting to see something just horrible, but that is an AWESOME looking helmet if you ask me. Really like it from the the head on view with eyes bearing down on you.

nice work.

This is really cool! Great job, Strategos!

If you could still incorporate the white...I would be even more intrigued. I love the white in the Cardinals helmet...with the sharp contrast of the Cardinal red, black and yellow.

The drawing doesn't look great, but the graphic of the actual helmet looks SHARP! Nice work, man.

 

[TheCardFan]

Looks great. Was this your design a couple of years back when they were changing the logo? I remember one very similar.

Not sure about the colors but the design is very forward.

I see this is your first post...

Are you a Cardinal fan? If not, why are you interested in their helmet?

Cheers.

I agree, the white is a great contrast, and gives it a more "clean" look

but that helmet is VERY nice

The yellow facemask looks great as the "beak", but this might be a problem since yellow isn't one of the uniform colors.

I'd love to hear Pantone's take on this.

I like it! Not a big fan of the yellow face mask (black or gray maybe?) but on a whole it's great!

 

[BigRedRage]

the mask would never happen in bidwill land and the helmet looks nothing like a cardinal....very arena league.

I couldnt do better but im still gonna be a critic. I like our current logo a ton more.

That is a fantastic design. Just change the Facemask color.

Hey, I was expecting to see something I didn't like, but that looks awesome.

Here's to you Mr. Helmet-fixer-upper-while-redesigning-yet-not-overhauling-Guy.

I really like it.


(but can we reduce your font some?)

 

[Gambit]

welcome to the site! when I started reading this after seeing it was your first post, I thought it would be a put-down. I think it's really cool. Good job.

 

[cardsfanmd]

Is it a rule that the facemask has to be one color?

I would like to see the pattern on the Helmet w/ the Red and Black continue thru the facemask. The yellow looks cool, but then we would need new uni's since they currently have no yellow on them.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

i think it's fantastic. and i love the yellow facemask as the beak. no way the cards would ever do something so radical, but it would be a breath of fresh air compared to the "changes" they made to the logo when they only made it more cartoonish.

 

[Shane]

The more I look at the more I love it. That helmet is fricken intimidating and fantastic! To bad old billy would never go for it. To old school.

 

[jefftheshark]

If I saw this big red duck coming at me, I don't know if I would be intimidated, or if I would fall down laughing.

I guess way either would work.

I think it looks OK, but not great. Not good enough for a switch. i love that bird.

 

[NMCard]

Is there some sort of gold colored metal flake in the paint sceme?

come on! it was pretty radical to italicize the logo!

seriously, I love the way that looks and agree with Ouchie that sadly it would never happen. It looks way too kick-ass for Bidwill's Bow-tie wearing butt to sign off on.

but, I will hope that since you have only one post, that maybe, just maybe you are somehow involved with the team and you're putting out feelers to the most diehard fans of the team. a man can dream, right?

seriously, you did a greta job. those helmets are just sick - and this is coming from someone who admittedly doesn't heap praise on anything easily. kudos.

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

I like it! It reminds me of when the "road" whites had the Cardinal head on the sleeve.

I think it would look better with a gray or black facemask ..
