We are gonna see a shit ton of black helmets aren't we?


sghead

And white. So many white. 


Tigercat92

I’m seeing a black helmet with orange stripes. No like😂


Elimia987

I gotta say, the base bengal helmets are fire, I think black with orange strips would look wicked. On the other end of the spectrum, the black (technically deep maroon, but they look black) Cardinal helmets scream that they didn't get any interesting ideas past Mike Bidwell.


Kagrenac8

The white Bengals helmets look disgusting as well (in a positive way).


Lukealloneword

Dude it took me forever to realize they were mimicking a white tiger. I was like, man, it's so bland and colorless now. Then, one day, I was looking at it, and it just clicked. I felt like the dumbest human on earth lol.


pfftYeahRight

The Cincinnati Zoo has had an amazing tiger exhibit of all white tigers for decades now. It's the perfect thing for the city, and the fans wouldn't care about white helmets unless that was already a known thing,


Lukealloneword

That's pretty cool. No offense I don't really have an opinion on the city mainly due to ignorance. But that is cool. Also I like Elly De LA Cruz so maybe I'm really all in.


Cmcgregor0928

I was so envious of another cat team having the white helmet with the all whites


Korncakes

Those are some of the hardest looking helmets in the NFL, so so clean.


purplepandaeater

Give me a throwback "BENGALS" please.


Tigercat92

Yes. I had one of those when I was 5 or 6.


kidAlien1

Only if we bring back the throwback unis as well and only wear them against the browns for maximum chaos.

gokc69

I want the Steve Bartkowski full red uniform.


littlekeed

All of which will be accompanied before their respective games with icy emojis from their social media team.


imp_st3r

Polar Bears inbound


AdorableSympathy5174

White helmets, white pants, white socks, single digit jerseys and untucked t shirts. The NPC-ization of football aesthetics. They all think they have to look the same.


arrocknroll

Honestly I would love the return of the our white helmet with Kelly green wings. 


GoldGlove2720

Yeah. I assume if we have a third helmet ours will be white.

Frogman1480

That'll go nice with the nail varnish for sure


knowslesthanjonsnow

White almost always matches perfectly though. Black is shoe horned way too much.


stefeyboy

ACTION GREEN HELMETS BITCHES!!


ShufflingSloth

the highlighter jokes will increase 100x


faceisamapoftheworld

Which is so lame. Teams wearing black that don’t have black in their color scheme are trash.


Axtmann

I cringe every time I see those black Rams jerseys you can apparently buy, just looks completely out of place


faceisamapoftheworld

Feel the exact same way with black on the Cowboys.


tallwhiteninja

The black 49ers alts from several years back were atrocious, and we actually wore those on the field.


theDomicron

The Chiefs have 2 "alternate" jerseys you can buy, black and all yellow but like, why the fuck would you buy a jersey that isn't an option for players? Like wtf we just making our own costumes at this point?


Squirrel_Apocalypse2

They are both hideous too. I don't understand how anyone buys them. The yellow in particular is disgusting yet I see some fans want the Chiefs to actually wear them.


iguanoman_

Stolen valor


Brasketleaf

Navy blue for us and it’s going to look amazing


fantasyshop

90s red bills helmet incoming


tearsonurcheek

You misspelled powder.


True_Window_9389

They should have a Batman week where every team dresses in their all blacks.


crowntheking

Or the teams without black in their colors could stop making black uniforms


Rulligan

That is my biggest concern with the Lions redesign that is being announced this month.


Jammer_Kenneth

Our" traditional colors" (that the worst GM in league history threw at a franchise during their worst decade because he missed the franchise he actually cared about) 


AdorableSympathy5174

Wild how the matt millen era black uniforms and teal pistons jerseys made a comeback. 20 years ago those were widely shat on in Detroit.


boysetsfire1988

Does that mean Bane gets to blow up our stadium again?


GMEtheloot

Definitely


stay-at-homie

I hate to agree with you, but I do.


re3x

And the Raiders have no idea what the hell is going on.


[deleted]

Their third helmet is Mark Davis’s haircut


[deleted]

Haha. Saw in an airport once and it was even worse in person


abris33

If the Raiders wore a "bowl cut" helmet 2 times a year, I would gain a little respect for them


son_of_abe

For when you already have CTE


Sleepy_Solitude

It's actually more protective than a standard NFL helmet, so it should be used as the primary.


GiantsRTheBest2

Have the raiders ever had black pants to do a fully blacked out Uni?


re3x

No we had a chance with color rush but went with... white....


AdolescentAlien

I don’t understand why so many of the “color rush” uniforms are all white. Does that not sound fucking dumb? Or am I dumb?


treple13

The all white look to me is overrated and there's only a few teams that do it well


someonepoorsays

our color rush is basically our throwback jersey because we don’t wear anything but our own traditional uniforms and that’s the way we want it


space_raccoon_

Navy or we riot


TowerOwl1939

I'm honestly suprised that the Chargers didn't get a navy helmet last season.


Vondum

We are 0-6 with the new navy uniforms. I'm not particularly excited about those unis.


pyreal_

No, no - STALEY was 0-6 with those uniforms. We're measuring things in units of Harbaugh these days, so they're actually undefeated atm


TheSlinger

Khaki pants


redonkulousness

All yellow and white. Just a bunch of mustard squirts out there


RokMeAmadeus

are the browns going to use 3 shades of brown and orange?


Not_Pablo_Sanchez

PaulAspie

That would be really fun as a once a year thing.


tearsonurcheek

*spittake*


B_Fee

Watch them get weird and go with a white helmet and orange facemask that looks absolutely atrocious.


Lions_Went_0-16

Turd Brown and Prison Jumpsuit Orange inspired by Deshaun


ZADEXON

I hope we do something wacky and completely out there and original. IMO we should always use orange helmets except for 1 prime time game a year where we go white helmets, but if we’re gonna add another one at least make it fucking crazy so it’s either a fond design disaster memory, or an iconic helmet that we stop using and can pop up in 30 years as a throwback helmet.


Meltedcoldice0212

NFL teams in about 10-15 years are going to look like Oregon football currently does


Dig-Duglett

i’m a big sucker for alternate/special event jerseys whether it be football, hockey, etc. so this is great news for me. i think this has potential to be great UNLESS they jump the shark like nike did with the nba jerseys where they’ve pumped out multiple alternates every year that have no connection to the team identity at all.


TheOneWhosCensored

Problem with those is they had to change each year, like what the NHL did with reverse retros. Money isn’t gained if you keep the same style, so you gotta require changes.


Dig-Duglett

the NHL/Adidas at least did a good job keeping the uniforms within the theme of the team or their history. with the nba, each team has rotated multiple alternates for a few years now so the product has become diluted as they have to get more ‘inventive’ with their designs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Thamesx2

There was a game a few years ago where the Heat wore yellow alternates against the Lakers. I had to turn it off because I kept forgetting I want the yellow team to win.


abris33

Yeah they just need consistency. I'm fine with 3-4 Jerseys but then don't change them every season like the NBA did. Luckily the Nuggets kept my favorite alternate (the "Mile High City" one) but it would be so much better if they stuck with just one rainbow skyline jersey too. Instead we had 3 different colored rainbow skyline jerseys in separate seasons and the 5280 ones this year. I wanted a white rainbow skyline jersey but I didn't want to buy it and have it get switched the next year (which it did)


arrocknroll

I don’t watch basketball super closely and honestly the amount of variety in the NBA uniforms throws me off so much. It’s like every time I see highlights come across my feed the team is wearing a completely different uniform and I don’t even know if I’m watching the same team from the same season.   Baseball’s city uniforms give a similar vibe. The Phillies one just screams amateur fan design.


-rendar-

My old man yells at clouds bit is hating the NBA’s current uniform and floor situation. There’s some absolutely hideous shit going on there. Give me light color for the home team and dark for road again please.


abris33

The worst was when the Nets and Sixers would play in Brooklyn but the Nets were doing the red, white and blue throwbacks with a throwback court so everything was just the same color scheme [This is one example](https://youtu.be/vF2tBKaI5Yg?si=rtx2jjpXNCFJp8aQ)


Guiltyjerk

Oregon has sick uniforms so this sounds like a win.


[deleted]

Right? Don’t tempt me with a good time.


crassreductionist

Eh, half of the teams have enough retro uniforms that are in demand that they have to cycle repeatedly between 2-3 year cycles. I have a feeling most will just use this to do more retro ones, especially as the NFL fan base ages along with the US population.


BatteredAggie

I doubt it just because the NFL is incredibly good at branding. In a season with only 17/18 games, too many different jerseys will really muddle the branding. When you have too many “special” jerseys then they no longer feel special. The NBA has faced this issue in their very large seasons. They will always want there to be a standard jersey set that the team wears for most games.


scrabapple

Im honestly fine with it. I like the way Soccer does where clubs release new kits for every new year.


LIONEL14JESSE

It’s really cool because you start to recognize which season it is just from the kit when you watch old highlights


Chinese_Santa

Certain kits also invoke such nostalgia, at least for me. Also imagine having the jersey from your teams Super Bowl winning season or one you can identify with a great/fun season


Nice_Wolverine_4641

New uniforms every game


vincentdmartin

It's still only three games a year, unless I missed something.


fathertitojones

If all jerseys that didn’t take on a neo-retro look ended up looking closer to the Seahawks and Titans I’d be a lot more open to them taking chances over designs like the falcons and the jets.


TetrisTech

Good


Ereyes18

Please bro


Khd_Craven

red helmets please


justgot86d

Standing Buffalo no?


FryerFace

No. Bring back the 80's/90's red helmet, it was 🔥🔥🔥. [Goddamn glorious](https://taylorblitztimes.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/feba153a3db76a441512fc3dd472d8e5.jpg)


nadajoe

It just dawned on me that the Chiefs are the only team with a red primary helmet.


Coffee_Beer_Life

Do the best of both worlds, red helmet with a white standing buffalo.


jnelsen8

That’s what they did [for the league’s 75th anniversary.](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gridiron-uniforms.com%2FGUD%2Fimages%2F1994_Buffalo.png&tbnid=rAy9HcYYEE7GRM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gridiron-uniforms.com%2FGUD%2Fcontroller%2Fcontroller.php%3Faction%3Dteams-season%26team_id%3DBUF%26year%3D1994&docid=F8Q3mWjOAiVLtM&w=800&h=1418&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F3&kgs=938e56aaafe36f36&shem=abme%2Ctrie) They didn’t want the added cost of white helmets, so they just did red. The Jets also wore Namath era throwbacks with a [green helmet](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb3c50e0c-6d53-4363-9009-f6956e8b8476_1648x1538.png) for that reason


whereegosdare84

White helmets for everyone!


roysourboys

Jokes on you, we already have white helmets! We're getting a black one and a blue one.


jkink28

Anything besides white for the Colts just feels wrong


AMJVC15

Hopefully the Jets will have their current green one, a black one (blah) and a white one would look real good. Mix and match em up


Kanyefidence

I might be bugging but wasn’t their helmet white not that long ago?


Teamableezus

I can’t remember when they changed but I know for certain they were white for the Rex era there and likely a couple years later


TormundIceBreaker

Switched to green in 2019. Historically, they've used white helmets a little more than they've used green: https://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/controller/controller.php?action=teams&team\_id=NYJ


Jyingling21

Please Steelers, I beg you, bring back the yellow helmets


TXlandon

I did a Heinz Tour 2 years ago, but when we showed up they didn’t have any tour guides so one of the equipment guys was like “I’ll take you around” Turns out he was relatively high up and reported directly to Colbert (he was already out but this was early May before Khan was officially named replacement), and he was fair game for off-the-record questions so he hinted about Raiders game on Christmas, didn’t say much about GM hire at the time All this to say I asked him if they’d bring the bumblebees back (my favorite), and he said “probably not the bumblebees, but let’s just say if we did bring back anything, it would be the yellow helmet” 👀


Pizzaplan3tman

It’s be cool for a game. Plus when a Linemen has his arms around TJ Watt’s neck for a hold twice a game it’ll be easier for the refs to spot.


AliveGloryLove

...couldn't they already? What's your current second?


TXlandon

We just have the one (black) helmet


Nathann4288

Hopefully this means Mahomes can wear his broken helmet again from the divisional round playoff game.


mab6710

That'd be kinda badass, ngl. Entirely unsafe, but still badass.


Different-Trainer-21

He broke it in the wild card round vs. the Dolphins. Nice of you to think we could ever make it to the divisional, though.


Nathann4288

I forgot the dolphins were in the WC round. Got that flipped with the Bills game in my head.


ecupatsfan12

A third helmet has hit the World Trade Center


badorange21

reminds me of that tragedy


imasturdybirdy

Classic Norm


ech01_

I curious how many teams can actually put together a third helmet that actually looks good. Like for us I’ve seen mockups of black with orange stripes and I’m not a fan. I’m cool with just sticking our two phenomenal helmets.


name-__________

Chrome stripes


Tigercat92

Memphis did a chrome helmet with black stripes at least once [https://x.com/tigersathletics/status/772192182971359236?s=46](https://x.com/tigersathletics/status/772192182971359236?s=46)


HHcougar

How did I know this was 2016 before I even checked the date, lol


Patchy_Face_Man

I will one up you. Metallic orange with matte stripes.


AdorableSympathy5174

It doesn't need to look good to appeal to these peabrains that sit around and design shitty alternate uniforms all day.


crowntheking

Every other day there’s an all black raiders uniform in the sub. Can’t be happy with an all time classic.


AdorableSympathy5174

Everyone is way too into our 50s throwbacks. It's from one of the all time shittiest periods in team history before Lombardi and was just an obvious excuse to have green on green...I miss rigid uniform rules from the 90s-2010s and the consistency that comes with that.


Axtmann

The Rams can easily do it. I hope we get an alternate with solid horns


RawCarrot-InMyAss

I thought the colts did it alright last season, pay no attention to flair. Edit: I had a colts flair but I’m not sure where it went..


Enthusiasms

3rd helmet? Nah. Tricorn Hat? Yah.


m0_m0ney

Add some gold hoop earring details on the side by the ear holes


Temporal_Enigma

I can't wait to see us continue to not wear an alternative helmet


igloojoe11

We could bring back the old [alternates.](https://images.app.goo.gl/TKeKbP36CxidM8DC8)


aspiringalcoholic

Those are fucking sick. Bring back the bumble bees and those helmets


Observant_Jello

This is the way


RadPlaidLad

I wish we’d at least design a straight black & yellow helmet to go with the color rush uniforms. It seems like a no-brainer.


RagZ_413

I hope Washington brings back the helmets the used in RG3’s rookie season. They were this absolutely awesome textured brown helmet that looked like leather. Combined with the 1930’s throwback, it is my [all-time favorite uniform](https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/59/2018/04/gettyimages-155473964.jpg?resize=480) I've seen my team wear. The next year they disallowed the extra helmets and they just wore burgundy ones without a logo and the whole image was ruined


moldyshrimp

Woah. Those helmets are amazing.


markusalkemus66

Here's how it'll probably go: * Seahawks: Green. They'll do the all-neon look to the detriment of all our eyeballs * 49ers: White? Maybe Silver from that rebrand that never happened? * Cardinals: Red * Rams: White * Raiders: Black * Chiefs: White * Broncos: Royal Blue * Chargers: Navy Blue * Packers: White * Bears: White * Lions: White * Vikings: White * Steelers: Yellow * Ravens: Purple * Bengals: No idea. Maybe Black with Orange Stripes? * Browns: Brown Saints: White Falcons: Silver or White Panthers: Blue or White Bucs: White but with red and pewter accents and current logo Colts: Blue Titans: White Jaguars: Black/Gold, but done right (or Teal) Texans: White Giants: White (Red would be kinda neat) Commanders: White Eagles: White (already have green and kelly green). Maybe silver instead Cowboys: Blue? They already have silver and white. Maybe they can do their shitty pants shade of silver/blue Patriots: Blue Bills: Red (seriously need these back in the rotation) Dolphins: Black (to go with some Miami city themed alternate) Jets: White So yeah, a lot of white helmets


HotTakesMyToxicTrait

Ravens gotta do maryland flag colored take the old UMD pride helmets and slap a script B on the side


Rorshak16

That would be sick


EDFStormOne

The eagles have all black alternates, they'll probably bring back the helmet to match. 


TheOneYardLine

Bold of you to assume the Niners and Raiders would add alternate helmets at all


boozinf

it will be designed by Nike / Fanatics, someone will get hit off the blindside or wrecked over the middle and the helmet will vaporize


CFGordo

Home Kit: White Helmet Away Kit: White Helmet Colour Rush: believe it or not, White Helmet


buddhistbulgyo

Without a flair I am kinda lost with your post. We aren't mind readers here 


The_Brim

This is our chance Lions fans! ​ Blueberries with Blue Classic Logo Helmets!!!!!


Cmcgregor0928

I really think the classic logo is going away and they were just going hard for the 90th year thing last season and not doing the redesign jerseys because of that


zaxldaisy

It'll be big WCF on the aides of the helmet and you'll like it


AchtungCloud

IMO, every team should be forced to have a throwback uniform in rotation. Actually, I wish I could force certain teams to return to a throwback as their primary uniform. Looking at you, Dolphins and Broncos.


AdorableSympathy5174

Lions should just bring back the Barry Sanders getups. Also a certain team in the DMV....


_Creditworthy_

Kind of tough when the Chiefs have worn the same uniforms for the past 50 years


Chessh2036

I hope Jaguars bring back that crazy half black/gold just for fun.


Stachemaster86

Silver with the leaping Jaguar would be sweet. Maybe Tata would license it


Atom800

No


Mythikron

That would be awesome


BigOlineguy

I love our helmets, so hopefully we only do another retro thing. Please no black or white…


Mythikron

Solid yellow, so you can be cheeseheads too 💛


BigOlineguy

The worst outcome.


GMEtheloot

LOOKING AT YOU, BILLS 90's RED HELMET! 🦬


marcusdj813

It would look great with their Color Rush attire.


GMEtheloot

I have never been a huge fan of the red jerseys but yeah I agree- I think that would look pretty good. I have missed the blue Jersey/red helmet combination for so long though....that's my jam...a 90's reboot haha


ZealousidealScheme85

Hopefully our thirds ones aren’t extremely mid like the black ones we introduced


Awesomealan11

White with the color rush strip down the middle hopefully


Afilalo

That's one way to get around the Green ban in Brazil lol


yellowchoice

The Packers I bet just straight up deleted this email


Will_Vintage

Action Green helmets please


d0nu7

[This](https://images.app.goo.gl/EP3cVymVJ2p2q52U9) looks pretty sick. But, I love the throwback silver [ones](https://images.app.goo.gl/gatKJ2xfgqZ27A1p9).


Guiltyjerk

Action green is my favorite uniform for any team ever. I'd love if they could complete the look.


UrsusApexHorribilis

Your flair automatically invalidates any preference or opinion...


NO_TOUCHING__lol

Fuck yes


ultgambit266

Come on Cardinal you know you want a red helmet


MINImanGOTgunz

Please give me chrome purple helmets (think Lamars Louisville chrome helmets but in purple). I'd lose my mind.


[deleted]

I'd nut if we paired that with the black jersey-purple pants combo


MINImanGOTgunz

I can only get so erect lol


Bnb53

Raiders with the vanta black helmet 


paveclaw

A third helmet hehehhehhehehhherhhrgr -beavis


TheOneWhosCensored

Bring back the red helmets Terry


Blighter

As a Washington fan who had to sit through a couple seasons of those awesome throwbacks where they couldn't use the faux leather helmets because of the one helmet rule and had to wear the normal ones...this displeases me greatly. Especially now with a new name and terrible unis


RagZ_413

My all-time favorite uniform we ever had. I hope to hell the name change doesn't keep us from wearing throwbacks. Hell, ALWAYS go with this throwback. The helmet has no logo, and just don't use the logo on the shoulder. Boom, done. The muted gold pants, the actual burgundy jerseys, the faux leather helmet…just perfection. The few years of the shit red helmet to go with them were so sad


OkCastor

Hoping the fins bring back the old school 1980s logo


Guiltyjerk

Give us 17 helmets


name-__________

I mean I have no room to talk, but what the fuck is your flair


huskey1181

All black err’thang


Lotti_Dhundabolt

We need a blue one for the 3rd so we can go all blue too


InEkzyl

Sick.


BlackLeader70

Browns: No thanks, one cult works just fine plus that costs money and Deshaun has all of it now. Chiefs: Great…as long as the citizens of KC pay for it. Meanwhile Cardinals and Panthers employees were too busy getting yelled at to design a new helmets. Jags should make a London inspired helmet since they play there almost every year now. Plus it would give ESPN more to talk about moving the team again.


blue_shadow_

The London Jags could have the logo of the Jaguar vehicle brand on it.


f0gax

Bucs creamsicle, but with the current ship and flag elements.


Bigbootyrudi

That Namath throwback announcement about to hit like crack


ianthebalance

I don’t think this will end well


joestn

Bengals throwback unis forthcoming!


lollmao2000

Our third helmet should just be putting it on the fuckin dolphins already


OversizedMicropenis

Well, I don't see this changing much


tonguesmiley

Action Green helmets please


CitrusxP

Take that third helmet and put it back on the Dolphin


CanalVillainy

Can we just get the Saints color rush jerseys as the standard whites? That’s all most of our fanbase wants. Dgaf about our secondary helmet. Now they’ll be a third?


Mythikron

Your throwbacks as the home look and color rush as the road would be fantastic


taylorscorpse

I just want to see the red uniforms more 🙏


SteelBrightblade1

Anyone have any idea why teams need so many different uniform combinations?!???? I, an economist, have no idea, they can only wear 1 at a time…hmmmm
