NFL Helmets - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The Good

Saints - Many teams represent well in name - Steelers, Packers, 49ers, Dolphins, Cowboys and such. But no other NFL team represents the heart of their city and fans like the Saints. The fleur is New Orleans.

Texans - Cool skull.

Ravens - One the more creative names and logos. Baltimore honors a home boy - Edgar Allan Poe.

Cardinals - Besides the family ties I spoke of earlier, its a cool helmet. Rock steady through the years. It'd look better back in St. Louis.

Bucs - If you lived in Florida and survived the gay orange helmet guy, you'd love the new helmet, too.

The Bad

Panthers - Lookin' at the panther head up close, it looks kinda like a panther head. Ten steps back and it looks kinda like a black something-or-another. Add one of those split stripe things and it screams arena league. They could've done better.

Titans - I have no idea why Tennessee are the Titans. I'm sure the helmet logo designer person said, "What the hell?".

Bengals - Nope. Move it up to my good ones. Ballsy move back in the day. You shoulda seen the old Cincy helmets.

The Ugly

Steelers - History and tradition would probably put this helmet on many good lists. But just lookin' at it - its butt-ugly. My guess is the Rooneys made enough to afford a sticker for the other side.

Redskins - Not always as drab as it is today. Need to get back to the spear.
