    Love the new Rams color scheme, it's much better, and the horns start at the base of the helmet. The old helmet, there used to be a little blue between the start of the horns at the helmet. Always bothered me.

    The new Bucs scheme is a good one, too. No one uses pewter, and the flag waving in the wind works for them. (Agree with the previous post about flowing logos, but in this case, it actually makes sense.)

    Like the old Patriots colors more, because Patriots are, you know, red, white and blue. Why silver, I'm not sure. And the old Patriot hiking the ball was perfect.

    Old Broncos > Power Broncos, hands down.

    And I do miss that Oilers logo. Classic.

    Re: Chargers, great change.

    Loved the old Patriot. Hate the John Kerry-looking guy.

    The new Pats "John Kerry the Tadpole" logo is the shittiest logo in the NFL. And yes, Oz, the red/white/blue was perfectly patriotic without any silver.

    I was surprised when Denver changed to navy jerseys, since orange was their signature look.

    I really dislike all the side panels on the jerseys, helmet stripes that come to a point, all that arena-league shit. Hope the trend spends itself and that teams go back to more classic styles.

    Poll blows. Why can't I choose one option for each franchise? :mad:

    Hey, I can't be here ALL the time.

    ALL evidence to the contrary, etc.

    The Hartford Whalers need to go back to their cool logo circa the Mike Liut days.

    Um, the Whalers don't exist. Moved to Carolina. Won a Cup.

    I blame your drug dealer in Roswell for this minor oversight on your part, Xan. :D

    This is Izzy's fault? Damn that corksucking coke-peddler.

    And to paraphrase Peterman's great line about Myanmar/Burma (episode is playing as we speak), "You may know them as the Carolina Hurricanes, but they'll always be the Hartford Whalers to me."

    Myanmar really should have let Burma keep the old logo and colors. That was classless to swipe all the graphic elements as well as the franchise itself.

    Top Helmets imho:
    1. Steelers
    2. Dolphins
    3. Colts
    4. Vikings
    5. Saints

    They're all old school and except for the Colts are very much tied to their geographic region.

    Five worst.

    Cardinals
    Broncos
    Bills
    Panthers
    Jaguars
    The Bills helmet is just too busy the others look so generic they could play in any city in the U.S.

    Tell that sob story to Ceylon. They're still fuming over the Sri Lanka fiasco.

    Dolphins ruined theirs a few years ago.
