No way the Giants current helmet should be that high, and no way it should be ahead of the Packers, Raiders, and Redskins

Agreed. I think the Giants and Jets are actually 31 and 32.

Texans should be bottom five. Switch them with Arizona.

But I've always believed the Bear head should be inside the C. That would make the Bears the best helmet.

The Bengals and L.A. Rams have my favorite helmets. I don't think I could rank all 32. I could just point out that some are cool and others are just football helmets with logos on them. What makes the Chiefs' helmet better or worse than the Saints'? I dunno. They're fine.

They're all great and all winners! Yay!! :roll:

How the Niners are at only #14 puzzles me. I'm ok with Eagles at #11, but I feel they should still be higher than the Texans.

I liked these Eagle uniforms better than the ones they wear now. It was a better shade of green in my opinion. Silver pants were cool as well. Same with the helmets with the silver wing.

i like the 49ers helmet, and was surprised at how low they were. i couldn't believe anyone but the jaguars were last. the jaguars are a train wreck (franchise and helmet). about time someone said something about the patriots. those scream out USFL. i prefer all of the old standards - bears, giants, packers, steelers. hats off to the list for having the redskins as high as they are, thats not a very politically correct stand these days but i agree, that is a solid helmet. i think the colts have one of the best total uniforms in the league including the helmets. yeah, they are simple but i prefer that to the buccaneers catastrophe. finally, I may be in the minority, but i have always loved the browns look, up until the uniform adjustments this year. i like simplicity, not any of the noisy new designs being thrown out there these days.

Completely agree. I'm sick of the current one, especially when they wear black jerseys.

Jags wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the dual colors. Right now, they're probably the worst.

The Panthers would be better off w/ a black helmet, but keep the same logo so it could kind of "blend in".

The Titans probably have the worst uniform going. They should've stayed the Oilers.

Falcons, Giants & Jets should go back to their 80s designs/colors.

The Iggles shouldn't wear black. Green & silver or GTFO

The best helmets are the old school kicker helmets with the one bar facemask.

Every helmet should be like Joe Kapp's or Joe Theismann's.

The league would be a lot better if we could go back to the Jets, Giants, Eagles, and Bucs uniforms and helmets from the mid to late 80s

i much prefer the giants current look to that of the 80's, although i didn't hate that look. throughout the history of the giants, the "GIANTS" helmet was just a short period, i much more associate the giants with the "NY" helmets.

I feel the opposite. Their GIANTS helmet is one of the best, in my opinion. NY does nothing for me.
