The Helmets

#1

Hopefully they do. The jerseys I have no problem with. But that helmet is absolutely hideous. Whatever Khan and the team gave Nike to design that two-tone monstrosity, they need to ask for a refund. I had some family in town last week and we were watching the game. By the end of that embarassing blowout, the number one discussion was about how ugly the helmet looks.

 

Just make it all black and we'll forgot that terrible half and half thing existed.

 

It is bad enough we have to watch out favorite team get embarrassed on the field every week. They look ridiculous doing so in their awful helmets.

 

Does anybody seriously like it?

It grew on me and it's gonna be another 3 or so years before they can change it anyway. I think that's what I read somewhere anyway.

I love them.


If this team was worth a crap, a lot of other people would love them too.

Hopefully they get changed, but I would not hold my breath.

 

I thought I might get used to them but no.

 

Still ugly.

My vote is to go back to the matte black. And stay there forever. I have the most respect for the teams that have NEVER changed them. We had the best helmets in the league before the change. The 'all-new' Jags are here, and the transition is complete, now give the team it's identity back.

Just Google jaguars helmet ugly and you will get a sense of how popular the design is.

The funny part about uniform changes is teams go back to their classic look in the end. The Bills went through three or four uniform changes and now are back to their classic look. Same with the 49ers. They tweaked their uniforms alot in the 90's and 2000's but now they look like the Montana era again. Same thing with the Jets, Vikings, Giants. They end up back with the simple look.

They have grown on me, as has the logo. I wouldn't complain if they were all matte black, but I like having something different. 

 

A winning team will make the helmets look a little better.

It definitely is unique. Like Vincent Schiavelli's face.

I liked the pearl teal helmets. We only had them for what, one year?

I am not a fan of the helmets, but I wouldn't notice them if the team was say 9-1. Smile  With that said, they are not very well done.  I would prefer a solid gold with the current logo and uniforms.  That would still be a pretty unique combo and look less like the team is just trying to save money by skimping on paint.

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

The helmets are cool. Discussion of them in the Jags football forum is not. Mods...Just do your job.

All NFL unis are going to get that treatment eventually. It's just one more part of the process to remove all tradition from the league and replace it with flag/arena ball.

You mean the glitter helmets?

I liked the color change, glitter helmets as well... They were very different and had pizazz.

When the logo was revealed, I thought it was a gay cat.  Now, looking at it so long, I look at the old logo, and it doesn't look as good as the present one.  The helmets were [BLEEP] when they first came out, and now I am indifferent about them.  I guess I'm just accepting it because I see so much.  With that being said, they need to change it to one color. I think a gold helmet looks good with the black jersey.

They just need to fix the gradient.
