Well you're talking to a board of traditionalists, so there you have your answer.


Exactly. A board of mostly great minds.

Almost always?  What is wrong in this post I made?  Do you think every uniform is identical on the same team?

I am curious as to whether a team could legally have different colored helmets on different players.  I've shown how they can and do have minor differences.
I think different colored helmets would be a bridge too far.

No QB would want that, that's for sure.

Yeah, leaving it plain is much more work.

I hope you took Dorothy's brainless straw man out to dinner before you #&%@ed it.

The script decals are quite literally the most generic helmet decal on the market. It's a stock item that you can order if you are lazy and lack creativity. "Just give me a script 'Bulldogs' white letters with a red outline for a blue helmet."

How is that any less creative than saying, “Yeah, just make it plain white.  No, nothing on the side.  Plain white.”  Do you think a team of 12 artists hunkered down for hours with crumpled up pieces of paper all over the floor before someone came up with a red “N” for Nebraska?

When the Hell did I mention anything about blank helmets? Whatever you guys are puffing on, you need to lay off it, or pass it around, or whatever else. 

I made FB helmet decals for 12 years. I kind of know what I am talking about here. People that order script helmet decals are among the lowest form of intelligence found within our species. 

I never once filled an order for blank helmets. That's probably more a sign of bone crushing poverty than outright stupidity.

Well, then lay it on us expert.  What kind of decals do members of MENSA order?

Maybe you should pass around some of the glue you used 😁

You quibble about some odd stuff, and are almost always wrong.
