The mandatory offseason black helmet thread...

[CatMan72]

But seriously, how bad ass would this be?

All black would a nice contrast to the Colts this year

[arbnranger]

Agree ...would love to see that at least once a year .

Black with metallic blue flakes. Now that's a helmet.

Unless I am mistaken, they changed the rules and teams can no longer use alternate helmets. Something about safety concerns. Go figure. So it would have to be a permanent change.

Damn, gonna need smaller players.

Racing helmets might get a bit hot on the field, no?

I'm down for permanent. Never was a huge fan of the sparkly silver. I like black the most with the new logo because it looks seamless with the logo's black background. It basically just uses the outlines, so the bottom of the head has no line.

i.e. This...

Instead of...

The black Panther on silver reminds me of the Charger's jerseys. They look stupid because the bolt has a white/blue background depending on the jersey color. It looks like they put a sticker on and forgot to pull the paper off. If they removed the background (like on their helmets), it would look better.

So, my point is, they should either change to black helmets, or just use the panther outline on the helmet(again, see below. Sorry I could only find a car decal for the same effect). If they did the latter, both silver or even white helmets would look pretty cool.

Like the blue outline on the black helmet above, you could do blue or black on a white or silver helmet. You'd just have to itch the black background. 

Still like black the best, but you get the idea.
