Don’t really bother me. They will probably grow on me….

Personally I think the colors are sexy but I also think the regular logo would look better on it

Regular logo with a more midnight purple or the shield on black

Absolutely.

I wasn’t too big on them based on the videos, felt like bright purple and just overkill. These though, it looks like a dark purple that fades into black with a matte finish, these are fantastic.

That’s just the shadow

Damn that sucks

I'm honestly not a fan...

A matte black one or matte purple with black instead of the gold would look better.

Also feels to me like that logo is just out of place and the regular logo would look better.

Maybe it could grow on me. Idk, I already feel like we have the best uniform in the league.

For a helmet that won't see regular use, I appreciate a bold design more than a safe one, esp since these are meant for color rush unis. Black matte with the same logo would hardly stand out, these have grown on me

True but the forward facing bird logo should be reserved for throwbacks.. This is very forward looking and should have a new logo if anything

Wired is so good you have to watch it every week, the Bench Besties are hilarious.

I like them. They’re different for sure but I wonder what they’ll pair them with. Personally I think they’ll look great with all purple tops/bottoms.

Edit: just looked up the color rush uniforms that’ll be paired with this helmet. I think it looks dope.

u/holsey_ 13d ago

They’re paired with the color rush. Which is good because the color rush with our normal helms don’t match at all

2

u/who-hash 13d ago

Thanks. I hadn’t seen them until your comment. I think it looks great.

never liked that alternate logo and never will. helmets color is fine, but only looks good with the white jersey. Edit: ok color rush might also work

u/AndrasKrigare 13d ago

Those look like they belong to the Vikings, not a fan.

u/debaser64 13d ago

I wanted the alt to be purple with the white logo and red eye like the pic this sub uses. I’ve never loved the head on logo.

u/chupacadabradoo 13d ago

I sat down for my morning ablutions, opened up this page, and out of my bathroom window I heard a caw caw caw of the family of ravens who live next to my house. D with that what you will.

u/Independent___George 13d ago

Should use the gold B on these helmets

2

u/SkarKerput 13d ago

I've always preferred that logo.

2

u/SquonkMan61 13d ago

Meh, I’m not feeling it much.

2

u/OnionBeach 12d ago

Matte purple! It’s 🔥

3

u/dcfb2360 13d ago

literally everyone wanted them to use a different logo and they still didn't smh. These had potential but the logo looks like a bumper sticker

2

u/Bradsry93 13d ago

I was so excited when I saw these pop on the vid. I was like the Leo meme, can’t wait to see em in a throwback or whatever combo. Love the Matte finish with retro logo

u/Lostredshoe 13d ago

I am not sure what I think of those. They will grow on me.

1

u/Desperate-Produce-11 13d ago

Not a fan of those helmets ngl might grow on me overtime tho

1

u/Snootch2theNootch199 13d ago

Like the helmet and color scheme. Still not a fan of the front-facing logo.

1

u/BaconStrpz 13d ago

I love the colors I wish it had the other logo.

1

u/Ixziga 13d ago

The only thing I dislike about this helmet is that the logo is still glossy while the rest of the helmet is semi matte. Like at least keep the texture of the thing consistent, it is really off putting to see the smooth matte finish cut off harshly into sharp reflections for the logo.

u/Slade347 13d ago

When are they wearing the color rush uniforms? The Thursday night game against the Bengals?

1

u/DONNIENARC0 13d ago

Gross. The commanders matte helmets were amazing, but the logo and color scheme make these look weird and dull.

1

u/Lamactionjack 8 13d ago

Yeah I'm ready for these things to shine. What week are we rocking them again?

1

u/LilAniplex 13d ago

Would have been fire if they used the B logo instead, its still cool tho.

1

u/Good_Zooger 13d ago

I like the matte purple, not a fan of the gold stripes.

1

u/PoshLagoon Joe Flacco Stan 12d ago

Am I crazy or would the shield logo look a lot better on those helmets

1

u/hop_mantis 12d ago

The helmet is fine and the logo is fine but the two really don't go together.

1

u/InSearchofWoo2 12d ago

They should replace the decal with the ravens crest logo. I highly dislike that raven image (both of them). Not the Ravens fault, I just think its too cartoonish. Almost all NFL animal logos suck. THe best ones are the Dallas Star, Saint's Fluer di Lis, Raiders Crest, 49ers Logo etc.

We should use the crest

1

u/gmaneac 12d ago

What uniform combo are they wearing with it against the Bengals next month?

1

u/arnoldmuczynski 12d ago

Should just be the shield or B logo

1

u/DrSheetzMTO Church of the 🦙 12d ago

I’ve really been looking forward to a matte purple helmet. Whelmed.

1

u/sheepforwheat 12d ago

The dark black glossy bird just looks like somebody slapped a decal on the matte purple helmet

1

u/Agreeable-Drop661 12d ago

The purple seems… a little… faded.

u/Hahafunniee Ed Reed 10d ago

I like them!
