    10th with a tiny sentence underneath, just to save anybody else a scroll.

    The Titans and Ravens in the top 15 invalidates that whole list.

    Packers #6... they have one of the worst in my opinion, but patriots #30 works for me, they didn't use the Jordan rule while judging helmets, only during games I guess.

    I disagree. The Packers unis are classic. With the exception of a decade or so, they have a very proud history. By and large, I agreed with a lot that the author had to say, but I disagreed with him on a few of the teams. I think the Titans have the worst unis in the NFL. They ought to burn that crap and start over. I also liked the Gold horn on the Rams' helmets in the '80s and don't like the white or yellow now.

    Top 10 for a polarizing helmet from the Jets fan base alone is shocking. I like it though.

    Here would be my Top 5:
    5. 49ers
    4. Cowboys
    3. Vikings
    2. Packers
    1. Jets

  9. The color/finish is amazing..i dont love the logo & think it’d look 100 times better by simply adding the Jet “swoosh” to the lettering like others have posted & at one point was being pushed on twitter.

    I think thatd be a really smart change that would appease the fan base & take the helmet to a whole other level.Very small but meaningful change that if fans pushed for would be something the Jets would have to consider given how minor the alteration would be

    Helmet would be better without the football.

    But I do like it.

    I love the new helmets. Those generic gray ones with team logos that so many teams have are just bland and ugly. The Raiders helmet is trash, I can't believe it made the top 5.

    The Raiders win this one hands down. The silver and black helmet is iconic. It will never get old. The Steelers helmet is mediocre. I hate Dallas but the helmet is fantastic. The drop off after the Raiders to the Cowboys is huge. The drop-off from the Boys to everyone else is huge.

    the website with the list is "behind the steel curtain" no wonder they have the steelers helmet as the best. It's not.

    I think its between Raiders and Cowgirls for the best. I think Cincinnati has an underrated helmet, its one of the best. I like the new green Jets helmet but Idk where it should rank.

    The Rams have the best helmet in the league imo, the most distinctive and identifiable to the team.
    And this list ranks them behind that atrocious Dolphins helmet?
    I know it's all subjective, but that makes this list a joke.

    As a divsion, the NFC North have the best as a group.

    If I were to make a Top 5:
    1) Rams
    2) Raiders
    3) Saints
    4) Lions
    5) Vikings (throwback helmet that wasn't matte, and had darker purple with gray face mask would be #2 for me)
    honorable mention to the throwback royal blue Broncos, throwback kelly green Eagles, and throwback red Falcons, but their current helmets are all terrible.

    As far as the worst, the oversized logo Tampa helmets, Patriots, Dolphins, Jax when it was two toned, and Texans.

    Rams are a good mention. They have nice helmets. I believe they were also the first team to have an insignia on the helmet, so they have the history behind the ranking as well

    Yeah good call on being the first team with an insignia on the helmet.
    I've seen these late 40's helmets before, but didn't know they were the first team. That cements them as #1 on my list.
    Apparently a halfback on the team, and part time artist, hand painted each one.
    Still a great look..

    Don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion but I think it’s extremely weird that the Steelers’ helmet only has the logo on one side.

    people aren't very smart in Pittsburgh. They still might not realize their mistake

    For what it's worth I like the current Bills helmets and the old Patriots helmet with the Revolutionary War soldier ( Pat Patriot ) hiking the football. Very classic - their current design is vomit inducing.

    Honorable mention - the Jets 1978-97 helmet, the Rams gold horned helmet, the Chargers current helmets, the Colts ( very classic ).

    The 49ers -which was ranked pretty high - I'm not crazy about.
