---Sorry, can't vote for the Skins on this one.---

Which team has the "best" helmet design?

"Best" can mean different things to different people.

It can mean whose is the most classic or traditional.

OR, Whose would be a sacrilege to change.

OR, Whose do you think is the coolest.

OR, maybe no reason at all, you just always liked it.

Please vote for yours and give reason why.

I voted for Da Bears. Simple but clasic. Black with the simple red "C".

Imagine the Bears with one of those swoosh type logo's like the Jags, Broncos or Texans. Yuck!

The White helmets worn by the Chargers when they have the powder blues are the BEST!!!!! Go Marty ball!

Had to go with the Steelers on this one. Also a classic due to it's simplicity.

The Redskins simpleton

why can't we vote for the Skins helmet?
Put this in another forum related to the entire league.

bah humbug

Aren't Da Bears Navy Blue and Orange ?

Anyway....I like the dolphins...any helmet that has Flipper on it is okay with me...

Yeah... the Bears are Navy Blue and Orange.... someone needs to adjust the color on there tube j/k

I choose.... ummmm... uh....The Skins.... sorry i voted on it... kick me off

The Vikings have the best helmets of the teams listed. I like the jags helmets also.

I must be color blind.... I know the unifor looks dark bule but I thaught the helmet was black... Either way, it still rocks.

I'm suprized no on ehas voted for the Packers. I was torn btw Bears & Pack.

These choices are some of the most boring ones in the league!

I would say Rams have the best design, traditional yet not run-of-the-mill. I also like the Bengals helmet.

Steelers get a plus for the one-sided approach.

although its hard to beat the Browns' creativity...

i would have to say GB... i just like the Green and Yellow together....

i think the coolest helmet in all of football is the Michigan Wolverines... (i hate the team though)

Skeletor....I'm with you on the Browns....hehehehe

In the poll, it's a tie b/t the Chargers and Vikes b/c they're different from the rest. The others seem boring. To me, they just seem like round (or five pointed) shapes in the middle of a boring helmet. Nothing spectacular. The Vikes have either chrome or metallic helmets, which are cool.

In general, I thinkthe coolest helmet designs are the Panthers, Titans, Rams, and Bengals. I think the Bengals are first in the most CREATIVE helmet with the Rams being a close second.

I voted for the Steelers' helmet. The traditions behind the one sided logo and the logo itself merit some consideration.

I was torn between the Vikings and the Dolphins. I picked the Dolphins.

I can't believe none of you guys picked Oakland!?!?! The Silver and Black looks soooooo damn nice. And some of you picked the Dolphins!?!? Ugghhh.... I don't like predominantly white helmets period, but to add Orange and Green is nasty!

Come on now! Boring?? These are old school CLASICS!!!

My iniitial thatught for the poll was to pick the helmet with the most tradition but I changed it to just pick the best based on personal prefernce. Unfortunately I did not revise my chioces to account for those cheesy new age helmets- Ex. Panters, Patriots, Seahawks etc.

The reason the Skins are not on here is I forsaw a lot of homers picking the Skins just becasuse they are the Skins and this would have skewed my HIGHLY scientific poll.

oh.... so now i'm a homer? Mr. Color-Blind Guy?

Personally, outside of the Skins... I'd choose to like.... hmmmm..... um.... nope can't do it... gotta choose the skins again... i guess I'm a homer.... but it takes a homer, to know a homer.... know what I'm saying? homer

So i guess i am a Homer cause i chose Cowboys. Something is wrong if you guys dont think you team helmet is the end all to be all. Why was this thread even started. I figured all you guys would say skins and us few cowboy fans on here would say Cowboys.


PS I used to like the Old Bucaneers helmet....LOL

What is the history behind the one sided Pittsburgh helmet? Team tried to save money during the war years? They figured nobody would recognize them if they turned the other way? Dyslexic equipment manager?

the dolphin helmet is nice.only behind the skins of course

Dude, I'd never noticed the one-sided logo on the Steelers' helmets. That's awesome....

but they still got nothin'on the bolts!

we did not pick our helmet because we know that outcome to that poll would be.Wanted to see what other people thought about the other teams.Dallas is weak and so is the whole uniform and that. crappy hole in the roof hud home you play in.WE WANT DALLAS, WE WANT DALLAS

You got that right BTP!

I did two things here.

1) Voted for the Raiders helmet.

2) Moved this thread to "around the league" since the Redskins helmet was not an option.
