1. Thank you for sharing.
2. I'll always be happy when the team gets some positive press. That being said...
3. That is the dumbest ranking I've ever seen. It was completely arbitrary (as most of these things are) and the "author" simply wrote a completely inconsequential comment about each design. I'm dumbfounded that someone would pay this guy to create content.

How can you be? People pay people to WATCH them play video games. People will pay for ANY damn things these days.

I didn't click through all of them, but I always liked (the helmets, not necessarily the teams) the Saints, Vikings, Rams, Falcons, and Colts. I have always (or at least as long as the current iteration goes, hated the Giants, steelers (both team and helmet), Browns, Titans, Texans, and Patriots (both of their historical helmets).
FWIW, I thought our old BENGALS helmet was weak sauce and I absolutely love the current ones.

#1 is Raiders, #3 is Steelers, #8 is Browns.
Some people have some bad taste in helmet art.
Steelers logo is so dumb, and only having the logo on one side of the helmet is even dumber.
Raiders logo/helmet is just so outdated.
Browns is plain AF. Put the bulldog as the official logo and put that on the side of the helmet.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

I don't understand how any team whose helmet is literally a color with a logo on it can be considered a "better" helmet than unique helmets like the Bengals or the Rams.
The Stealers are also the STUPIDEST helmets in the league and I'm not just saying that 'cause they're the Steelers. Not only is it just a logo on the helmet, it's a logo on only ONE SIDE OF THE HELMET! Only thing stupider than the Steeler's helmets is their throwback uniforms - those monstrosities are LITERALLY eyesores.

Yeah, the horns are pretty badass. I think the Bengals (duh), Vikings, Eagles, and Rams all deserve credit for going beyond a simple logo and making the imagery on their helmets reflective of their actual mascots.

Most of his rankings are horrible but he got the Bengals ranking right - the classic orange with black stripes helmet is the second best in the NFL.
The white helmet with black stripes is #1.

In my eyes, the only helmet better than the Bengals is the Bengals' alternate helmet

I never liked the Old Bengal Helmets that said Bengals on the side.
Then the Bengals shot up to #1 in Helmet design for me with the stripes.
My #2 is the Eagles in part because the dark green color looks cool to me plus the wings.

Yeah, the Vikes definitely have cooler helmets than the Raiders by far. Our helmets are the coolest by far though, especially the whites.
Used to like the Rams helmets before they changed them to the Karen helmets. The Eagles have pretty cool helmets and the 49ers.
Also like the Lions, always have and the Panthers. Probably leaving someone out, the ugliest helmets are the Stains, stealers and of
course the Commanders IMO.

I don't live in Ohio. I became a Bengal Fan because they switched to the cool stripes. Best uniform period.

They look cool but are unrealistic.
That is not the way tiger stripes look on a real tiger. Keep it somewhat realistic please...

Yes, those be the coolest helmets by far IMHO.
