New article, not to be confused with
last week's helmet concept post.
I like these designs better on the whole, much more creative than the previous article where too many of the designs were simply the oversized logo.
Here's the Giants concept (much better than the last concept we saw, which was the worst in the NFL in my view) -
My favorite might be the Steelers concept -
I find this stuff interesting, so forgive me for nerding up the board.

On the Giants helmet
No design element to the Giants, no underlay pattern, just the NY logo half of which is missing because of the ear hole...how freakin stupid is that?
I mean, I get that the idea is trying to make the designs look more happenstance or disorganized, I get it, but when there's is one little thing on the helmet and half of it isn't showing because of the earhole, it just looks stupid.
just for fun

Didn't notice the skyline?

No one in the stands or on TV will notice the skyline either. You're just going to see the "NY" missing a chunk. The Giants would never go for that.

Honestly the NY over the ear hole is what my eyes were drawn to. I didn't even notice the skyline at first glance.
The Giants are an especially difficult design to reconceive. Team name doesn't lend itself to simple, bold logo; team's traditional logo is typographic (NY or GIANTS).
I like the Giants' red-and-blue "winged" (Michigan-style) helmet design from the 1930s and 40s as an alternative design. I think if you redesign the helmet, you get away from typography and do something with the colors -- like that.
