OT: NFL helmets with local college team colors

Submitted by Mr. Elbel on July 18th, 2017 at 7:02 PM

It's one of those stupid slide shows, but I think my link should go straight to the Lions/Michigan helmet. Some of these actually look pretty good. Most of them are horrible, but it's intetesting to see the ones that don't change much or the Browns' which looks exactly like an osu helmet. Also, so disrespektful they didn't also do a green and white Lions helmet. ... http://phi.247sports.com/Gallery/NFL-helmets-combined-with-the-colors-o…

They should've gone with U-Chicago colors since they had a football team.

St. John's doesn't even have a team and Rutgers shouldn't.

I actually think the 'phins helmet looks better with the green instead of teal.

Packers looks like a generic high school team on a normal day. This one looks like a generic middle school team.

Some look quite a bit better. The Lions, Redskins, Saints and Bucs all looked better to me. Others not so much. Chicago and Jacksonville, your helmets. Woof.

Haha. The Jets are Rutgers. So perfect. The Giants should have been Syracuse. Also, the pats should have been Harvard. Classic look.

I didn't click through too many but I agree 100%. LSU/New Orleans is definitely a good one.

Well, if the Lions wear the Michigan-ized helmet with the "Rynearson Field Gray" color rush uniforms, that would just look.....weird.

Also, the Cal version of the Raiders helmet......no.

The Raider helment is a classic. it would look worse in any other color scheme. The Cal version is a criminal offense.

Based on proximity, yes. But take a poll of the city of Atlanta and you would find more UGA fans.

Your argument doesnt hold water. Take a poll of Chicago residents and depaul isn't the most popular, probably ND. GT is in atlanta and a power 5 school.

The Falcons picked Red & Black because they were UGA colors. The 1966 original helmet had a thin gold stripe to pay homage to GT

George Halas decided to make the Bears colors Orange and Navy, after his alma mater, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

As an aside, I grew up in the Atlanta area and knew about the Falcons-UGA connection, but didn't realize they had the gold stripe the first year. Learned something new!
