Comparison Of The Old/new Helmets

[Neylus]

As far as the colors go it would be odd for there to have been no mention of a color change. Likewise its pretty odd that Riddel or whoever would put out a team helmet in the wrong color, so count me lost.

Since it's a HIT card..not really. But, if you like it then price is moot.

just hate this new logo and helmet

Where did you buy the mini helmet with the new logo? I want one bad! Thanks.

Just bought a mini-helmet with the new logo and lined it up next to a mini-helmet I had with the old logo. I realize this is a comparison of mini-helmets which may or may not represent the "real thing" but I found some interesting differences:

1. Maybe it's just my mini-helmet, but the shade of blue on the new helmet is different.

2. The relative size of logo decal on the new helmet is much larger.

3. The white outline around the logo is gone.

4. You can't see it in this pic, but the stripes down the middle of the new helmet are longer.

Well at least we got a retro helmet now.

5 yrs from now we can go old school with it.

I doubt anyone would notice if we went to the throwback.

The blue has definitely changed. The alt. jersey blue has not tho. I think that the new logo looks worse personally. I think if the panthers wanted to change the logo the chould have just used the alt. logo we have now. I think its pretty dope.

new helmet and logo is so much better

I see a redbox rental, PayPal fathead, global fitness and Netflix. This looks strikingly similar to my CC bill each month.

Here's the comparison of the new color standards to one from about 10 years ago. The blue is still PMS Process Blue, this is all that matters. The colors didn't change.

From 2012 Logo slick:

From 2000 team color chart:

Yeah.. No. That blue has definitely changed regardless of what the chart says.

[dbeat]

That shade of blue is one of the hardest to reproduce accurately. What you're looking at are probably two different printers attempting to reproduce the same color, one was either obviously way off or the color has faded over time. Mini helmets (along with most other small consumer items) are not an accurate judge of color.

Like the new logo on the helmet better than I thought I would, not a big fan of change but this is good.
