Two Cincinnati Bengals Concept Helmets

OK, Cincinnati, we get it. Your uniforms are a tad eccentric and garish. Maybe it's time you grow up and pull back the reins a bit. Here are a couple of ideas to get you started.

San Diego Chargers Concept Helmets, Logo

I'm frustrated with the Chargers. I keep tweaking and tweaking but nothing looks right, so I'll just post them all. The first is a redesigned logo based from their 1961-1973 design. And, if you can't tell, the next three are helmets.

Cleveland Browns Concept Helmet, Versions 2a and 2b

A while back I posted an incredibly awesome Cleveland Browns concept helmet design. Well, here's another with two different color variations. Enjoy.

New York Jets Concept Helmet, Version 3

I really like black and green together, so here is yet another Jets concept helmet with said color scheme.

Baltimore Ravens Concept Helmet, Version 2

It's a bird. It's a plane... No, it's a bird. I was right the first time.

Here's another Ravens design. Enjoy.

Cleveland Browns Concept Helmet

I usually give a brief explanation/description about whatever it is I'm posting, but I don't feel like doing that today. I do like this helmet, though. It's slightly whimsical. There, I guess I gave a brief explanation/description anyway.

Kansas City Chiefs Concept Helmet

Well, the Chiefs' season appears to be heading towards the crapper fairly quickly. I thought I'd attempt to make them feel better by presenting an alternate helmet design. Here it is.

Pittsburgh Steelers Concept Helmet, Version 2

My current favorite throwback uniforms in football are that of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I really like the Bears and Packers retros, too, but the Steelers are the best. I especially dig the yellow helmets, although I think this white concept design would work well, too.

Oakland Raiders Concept Helmet

Here's a Raiders concept helmet in honor of their big Monday night victory over the Broncos. This design is another that doesn't top the current design, but at least it's something different. This is the logo they used from 1960 to 1962. It's not bad, but anything not solely black and silver just doesn't suit the Raiders anymore.

New Orleans Saints Concept Helmet

This may look too much like a recolorized version of the Louisiana Tech helmet, but oh well. I think it looks good from a retro perspective. This helmet with white jerseys and white pants would look nice. But what would be really nice is if their fans would stop saying "who dat". It's ridiculously annoying.

New York Jets Concept Helmet, Version 2

It doesn’t get much more simplistic than this design. It’s basically a color reversed adaptation of the team’s 1963 helmet design. I also removed the word “Jets” from the old logo. I thought it was a tad redundant to inscribe "Jets" across a jet.

New England Patriots Concept Helmet

One of the most classic helmets in the history of the NFL is the hiking patriot worn by New England from 1961-1992. Here is the same color scheme from that period along with the tri-corner patriot hat atop stylized N.E. initials.

Buffalo Bills Concept Helmet


So the Bills anounced they are unveiling new duds for the 2011 season. Yes, they said they will revert back to the white helmets of yesteryear, but here's an idea that's a little more Canadian friendly.

Eliminate the blue stripe. Actually, eliminate the blue altogether. Go with a "Red Wings" style color scheme.

And... if and/or when the Bills move to Toronto, having a buffalo logo wouldn't make much sense. I doubt they would become the Toronto Bills. So keep the logo and become the Toronto Bison.

San Francisco 49ers Concept Helmets

The 49ers pose a difficult task when trying to tweak their design. How many unique ways can the number 49 or SF be done and still look appealling on a helmet? Well, here are two designs that I came up with.

The top helmet depicts an adaptation of the 49ers logo used from 1946 to 1967.

The bottom helmet is sans logo, because if there's any team out there that would make sense not to have a logo, it's the 49ers. Their heads could look like big shiny gold nuggets.

Denver Broncos Concept Helmets

With the announcement that Denver is changing their orange jerseys from alternate to primary status, here are a couple of ideas to go along with that switch. I think a white helmet would compliment the orange jersey better than their current navy headgear.

The top design is the old colors with an adaptation of an even older logo. The second is the old logo with current colors.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Concept Helmet

This is the "no brainer" design. The current Buccaneer logo is vastly superior to the previous, but the previous color scheme was awesome. So the concept is easy; new logo with old colors.

Detroit Lions Concept Helmet

This helmet features an adaptation of the Lions primary logo used from 1961-1969. The stripe on the right was changed from silver to black and I chose to wrap the lion's tail around the backside of the blue stripe.

St. Louis Rams Concept Helmet

Let me first say that I think the Rams have an excellent helmet design. However, I much prefer the traditional blue and yellow colors they wore previous to the modern navy and gold. I decided to use their current alternate logo and retro-fit with the classic blue and yellow. The result is undoubtedly inferior to their actual blue and yellow version, but it's a nice look from an alternate design perspective.
