First look: quite disappointed with the Falcons new kit
Black jersey + red helmet > red jersey + black helmet
Also I can't believe they left the gray facemask on the helmet.
And it doesn't help that it was paired with this Broncos look
2021 a great understated year in improvements, 3 teams switch to white facemasks
BUF: gray → white
CLE: brown → white
IND: gray → white
Jets also
Titans unis live for the first time. Such a massive improvement
From one of the worst to one of the best imo.
And I feel like all teams look better when they are matched up against the 49ers
Eagles tease green-wing white-shell helmet they wore from 1969-1973
The Eagles instagram account posted a video with a new vintage-inspired white helmet.
By current rules, they would need to drop the black shell helmet if they wanted to use this one, which would be welcome.

So sad, one of my favorite sites on the internet
The Helmet Time Machine
I’ve been working slowly over the past two months on a collection of pixelated versions of every NFL helmet since 1960. I worked with an artist on most of these and tried my hand in Aseprite for the rest. I’m not quite sure why, but it gives me some real joy flicking through the years and seeing how the team looks changed.
Eagles spotted with black socks
They've only worn them once in the last two years
What's your favorite of the new looks from this week?
For me
- Jets Clear Skies (9/10)
- Rams Fearsome Foursome (7.5/10)
- Rams Classic Sol (7/10)
- Bills Nickel City (4/10)
Love the Jets' Clear Skies uniform. Their metallic green is *chef's kiss*.
The original Rams Fearsome Foursome uniforms are some of my favorites, these feel like a cheap impersonation with the wrong blue, broken horn, and most egregiously, white socks. Similarly with their Classic Sol look, the white socks kill the vibe.
I actually like the Bills new helmet, but the concrete gray is not it.
What other NFL teams are expected to release new alternate helmets/uniforms?
We've had the Rams, Jets, and Bills with new alternates in the past week, are any more expected? Were these surprises?
I know the NFC North and AFC South will have Rivals, I believe those are released later
How would you rank the rams helmets
My list
Solid gold horn (peak nostalgia for me)
Solid yellow horn
Solid white horn
Current yellow broken horn
White broken horn
Black shell with broken yellow horn
Do you like the NFL's white chinstrap rule?
The NFL, unlike college football, requires bumpers and chin straps be white. I think this is a rule I like, and was playing around with some different options on the Panthers black alternate helmet.
College football teams are allowed to have different color chinstraps and bumpers. Michigan famously (or famously in our very niche group of enthusiasts…) have navy bumpers and chinstraps.
Curious which of these Panthers loadouts you all prefer, and if you like the mandatory white chinstrap/bumper rule?
Section 4, Article 3, Item 1.
Item 1. Helmet, Face Protectors. Helmet with all points of the chin strap (white only) fastened and facemask attached. Facemasks must not be more than ⅝-inch in diameter and must be made of rounded material; transparent materials are prohibited. Clear (transparent) plastic eye shields are optional. Tinted eye shields may be worn only after the League office is supplied with appropriate medical documentation and approval is subsequently granted. The League office has final approval. No visible identification of a manufacturer’s name or logo on the exterior of a helmet or on any attachment to a helmet is permitted unless provided for under a commercial arrangement between the League and manufacturer; in no event is identification of any helmet manufacturer permitted on the visible surface of a rear cervical pad. All helmets must carry a small NFL shield logo on the rear lower-left exterior, and an approved warning label on the rear lower-right exterior. Both labels will be supplied in quantity by the League office.

This is not the only NFL 17-0 game, but I hope it's the best. It's retro-themed, there are solo campaigns and live multiplayer modes.
You fill eight key spots: a quarterback, a running back, two receivers, a tight end, two front-seven defenders, and a defensive back.
I built a model to score 10,000+ historic NFL players.

I created the entire game. I worked with a pixel artist for the custom helmet pixel art.
The Inconvenient Truth - what a great nickname
I made a retro themed 17-0 NFL game, and part of that entails looking through countless PFR pages to grade players. I hadn't heard Frank Gore referred to as "The Inconvenient Truth" before, what an incredible nickname
