Friday 5(a): Favorite NFL helmets

[cyclones500]

Similar to college football version from Sept. 4. Rank your top 5 current NFL helmets.

Since alternates/throwbacks are infrequent, let’s disqualify those. Consider helmets only (not full uniform package). No requirement to like the team itself. Visuals encouraged!

I’ll post my list shortly. A bonus Friday 5(b) is coming at some point, too.

Go!

NOTE: This is probably my last regular week for “Friday 5” until next offseason, although I’ll do some here & there as topics arise. If you have a Friday 5 idea, message me any time. Thanks again to Rulzzz for backup help.
Hope everyone enjoyed the feature and thanks for participating. :smile:

My 5

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Several others I like, but they're dependent on full uniform context. (And a couple on this list are less appealing to me when overall look is considered, such as Saints and Steelers.)

1. 49ers (favorite team bias plus they're pretty much what ISU's colors SHOULD be)
2. New Orleans
3. Carolina (love that color of blue with black)
4. Jacksonville
5. Denver (though I'm one of the few people that liked their orange crush helmets better than their current)

I cant stand the two tone matte black/ glossy gold finish.

Broncos current helmets are awful. I'm with you on the "orange crush" ones.
