So to start it off right, I asked myself, what are my five favorite current NFL helmets? Honestly, the result suprised me, so, here they are from fifth to first with explanation why.
5. Steelers - awesome football helmet. Tough looking, tough feeling, and it pays homage to the steel industry, the life blood of Pittsburgh. It sticks to the required black and gold mandatory Pittsburgh sports team color scheme. Throw in the added bonus of only a decal on one side (hence the usage of the right facing helmets for this post), and it starts off the first five.
4. Rams - I think it's a requirement to choose this helmet, I mean, it started off the logo on the helmet era. Great colors (now that they aren't royal blue and yellow), and most importantly, it hasn't changed over the years. It's still like the first one was. Fantastic.
3. Packers - this... this right here... is football. Hasn't changed, still the same as it was in the first two super bowl wins.
2. Colts - I think this is my biggest suprise. It's such a great helmet, I love it. I shouldn't, this helmet just crushed the Broncos twice in a row in the playoffs, but it's classic, especially now that it doesn't have the blue face mask. I love how it didn't change when they moved from Baltimore to Indy. When I was younger, it always bothered me that they didn't turn the horse shoe 90 degrees clockwise to make a the horseshoe a "C" for Colts. Now that I see it though, I don't like it, and glad it's the way it is.
1.Bears - Mean. Classy. History. Tradition. That's a football helmet. I might have to buy the mini version.
Notice the theme? Old school. On that point, two honorable mentions for the top five (or... #'s 5 and 6 if you will): Chiefs and Cowboys.
While we're covering the topic of helemts, just a note: the Broncos will be wearing this decal to remember Darrent Williams and Damien Nash this season.Have a great weekend. Catch you Monday.
