NFL Helmet Redesigns
slow news day. good click thru.

HELMET CONCEPTS

Usually this kinda article is too cheesy for me.  Strike one.  And THIS article makes you click for every new paragraph, Yardbarker style.  Strikes two and three.  But 90% of the art is great.  Whoops, that was a foul tip, get back in the box.

This seems to be the "title page" of a click spam.  But tell me those Patriots and Steelers helmets wouldn't look a little better than the 1930's retro shtick they put on every other Sunday.  Pay attention because this is probably the only Yardbarker style clickthru that Dr. D will ever point you to.  And if you weren't trepidatious enough YET, dig this scenario:  it's three clicks per TEAM.

And worth it.  whaaaaa?

The first click on SF gets the point across:  you super-size the logo and cut half of it, to give the subliminal impression that the ballclub just became the Monster That Ate Cleveland.  (See also /65/, and /68/, /74/, /77/, ad nauseam.)  The next two clicks on the 9'ers are the worst of the 96 pics, but look what they had to work with.

In the URL's at frank151's little helmet-fest you will notice that each line ends with a /6/ or somesuch; type the right number in and (thanks to Dr. D) you have climbed up the tunnel of overlayer depths, like Bruce Wayne in that Bane move.

/6/  a Bears helmet with claw marks on it

/8/ a Bengals helmet with a hidden text optical illusion

Don't click 11; it's as bad as the 9'ers

/15/ wins the humor category, unless /17/ does.  But /19/ works, don' it?

/27/ wins the Pokemon category

/33/ (we're at the Colts by this point) is the only one with CGI to pep it up

/37/ Not sure that Evel Knievel is from Texas originally.  Check me on that 

/48/ I'm pretty sure I saw in a cinematic C-130 with Jason Statham flying it, but /49/ I can do

/54/ has a very convincing little glass of Aquafina for the dolphin to jump into

/59/ incorporates the NY skyline for the Giants, as do the next two, more confusingly, though

/62/ takes the very first oversize SF idea and applies it to Green Bay (but presumably for 2019 since 2018 is gone)

/63/ I thought Wisconsin was known for cheddar, not swiss.  Definitely wins the "Get Serious" category

...

The Seahawks are /80/ through /82/.  None of the helmets grab but it's interesting that the author considers that the Seahawks "have the best and most vibrant color scheme in the NFL."  I thought that was reserved for "hot" colors like red and purple, but the neon green isn't hurting.

SO AARON RODGERS IS WORTH 2.12 WINS, IS HE

Broken right collarbone.  And the Packers' chances of going to the Super Bowl morph from "Very reasonable threat" to, sabermetrically, "How much different could it be?"

Guess we'll see,

Dr D
