with the new helmets with the hole near the rear horn, looks a bit weird

5 key issues for Texas football heading into 2021: QB battle, WR  development are top concerns

like a tear drop or something

Oh yeah? Well your stupid looking alternate helmets disqualify you from the discussion entirely.



And how could we ever forget THIS monstrosity???





Or this one?




If your team has EVER done any of this horrible alternate uniform crap, your opinion is dismissed.

I've never heard the NFL described as flashy or bold.

Huh? Compared to college football?

You're kidding right?

Or drunk?  Or high?

To get a diversity of answers we should do a list of best helmets of teams not in the top 15 of all time wins.  But somehow I envision a lot of blank pieces of paper and confused faces.

Florida helmets look really sharp IMO. Especially this one or the gator one.

No.
But I also wouldn't piss on the NFL if it was on fire.

I prefer helmets that lack the center stripe.  Colorado has a great helmet.  I like the Faulk-era SDST helmets.  

I actually like that NU Nebraska alternate.

The only problem with Ohio States helmet is that it has those little stickers all over it

Now why would anyone want to do that to a perfectly good helmet
Michigan does that too.

It reminds me of "art critics", or the folks who write reviews of a concert given by a symphony.  Ever read an art critic going on about some modern art painting?  It sounds, to me, like gobbledygook.  The concert reviews all read the same, pretty much.

It would be fun to have an art critic answer this question.  I'm not one of course, but what if someone had a helmet that was something like a Monet painting?  Or a cubist thing?  Or Van Gogh?  Starry night? On a helmet?  Dunno.

Louisville was testing glow in the dark helmet decals at one point, but never pulled the trigger.

white with a RED "W"

of course I dig the Badger helmets

CU Buffs are good, but Ralphie is a cow

the Purple Kitties are good with the silver and a purple tiger cat

Mizzou, Cyclones, Jayhawks, T Tech, Baylor Bears - not so much
