  • Riddell reimagines NFL helmets

    If you're starting to get bored of the helmet that your favorite NFL team wears every week, then Riddell has some good news for you: The company decided to design some alternate helmets for the 2017 season. 

    Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Blaze Alternate Collection of helmets. 

    Although these officially licensed NFL helmets will not be worn on the field this season, they are fun to look at (and you can buy them).

    Riddell hit several home runs with their new batch of helmets, which mostly feature alternate team colors.

    To give you an idea of what the redesign looks like, here's a peek at the redesigned helmets from the NFC South. 

    To see all 32 teams, make sure to check out the entire slideshow.

  • Bills "Blaze" Helmet

    This helmet is way too blue, which is almost fitting since Bills fans are probably feeling blue after 17 straight seasons of missing the playoffs. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Dolphins "Blaze" Helmet

    Apparently, people love the color turquoise because the Dolphins' alternate helmet was voted the top new look in a helmet challenge that Riddell held on Instagram.   

    Credit: Riddell
  • Jets "Blaze" Helmet

    It doesn't look like there was too much effort put into this helmet design, which is perfect, because the Jets don't look like they've put too much effort into fielding a winning team in 2017.  

    Credit: Riddell
  • Patriots "Blaze" Helmet

    Bill Belichick would never let his team wear a red helmet, and that's probably mostly because he was wearing a red hoodie when the Patriots blew their undefeated season in a loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Ravens "Blaze" Helmet

    The facemask might be the coolest part of the revamped Ravens' helmet. Note to the Ravens: The gold pants were ugly, but a gold facemask would actually work. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Bengals "Blaze" helmet

    When you haven't won a playoff game since January 1991, you should change everything you do. The Bengals probably should switch to this helmet even if a black tiger with orange stripes doesn't actually exist in nature. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Browns "Blaze" Helmet

    A Brown helmet for the Browns? Riddell might be on to something here. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Steelers "Blaze" helmet

    For the Steelers' alternate helmet, Riddell dumped the team's traditional black and went with a bright yellow. If the Steelers were allowed to wear these, it would probably work to their advantage because that yellow is so bright, it would blind the other team. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Texans "Blaze" Helmet

    The Texans play a game on Christmas this year and if they wore this helmet that would be perfect, since it basically looks like a giant Christmas ornament. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Colts "Blaze" Helmet

    I didn't think it was possible to spice up the Colts' helmet, but Riddell managed to do a fantastic job here. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Jaguars "Blaze" Helmet

    If this helmet can keep Blake Bortles from throwing interceptions, the Jaguars should beg the NFL to let them wear it this year.  

    Credit: Riddell
  • Titans "Blaze" Helmet

    The Titans have great colors, which is why it's so sad that they waste them on the current white helmet that they wear. Someone get them to switch to this. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Broncos "Blaze" Helmet

    This helmet looks like it was designed to be worn with the Broncos' Color Rush uniforms. Hopefully someone makes that happen. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Chiefs "Blaze" Helmet

    If there's one NFL team out that's never embraced its alternate third color, it's the Kansas City Chiefs. They've never worn a yellow jersey, they've never worn yellow pants and they've definitely never even thought about wearing a yellow helmet, which is too bad because yellow is fun.  

    Credit: Riddell
  • Chargers "Blaze" Helmet

    If the Chargers want to win over fans in Los Angeles, they just need to make everything powder blue, starting with their helmet. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Raiders "Blaze" Helmet

    The Raiders should switch to this helmet when they move to Las Vegas. Somewhat surprised that Al Davis didn't demand that his team wear a black helmet during his long stint as owner before dying in 2011.   

    Credit: Riddell
  • Cowboys "Blaze" Helmet

    The Cowboys are one team that doesn't need an alternate helmet and that's because their best alternate is one that they can't even wear anymore: the white helmet they used to wear on Thanksgiving Day. 

    Under NFL rules implemented before the 2013 season, teams are only allowed to wear one helmet per year, which is why you don't see multiple helmet colors per season anymore. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Giants "Blaze" Helmet

    The Giants have worn red uniforms, but they've never worn a red helmet. This helmet might be basic, but sometimes basic is cool, right?

    Credit: Riddell
  • Eagles "Blaze" Helmet

    This looks too much like the Jets alternate helmet, and if we know one thing about the NFL right now, the Jets are the last team you want to emulate. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Redskins "Blaze" Helmet

    If Dan Snyder wants to distract everyone from the controversy surrounding his team's name, switching to this helmet might help. The Redskins actually had a gold Color Rush uniform in 2016, but they didn't get to wear it because they didn't play in a Thursday night game. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Bears "Blaze" Helmet

    If this Bears helmet proves one thing, it's that there's no such thing as "too much orange." 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Lions "Blaze" Helmet

    The Lions will be wearing new uniforms in 2017, but unfortunately, they didn't switch their helmet. They're stuck with the boring silver helmet that they've been wearing forever. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Packers "Blaze" Helmet

    This helmet would definitely put the "Green" in Green Bay. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Vikings "Blaze" Helmet

    This helmet would be fun for one game, and that one game would have to be a Color Rush game. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Falcons "Blaze" Helmet

    Riddell put about as much effort into this design as the Falcons did into the second half of Super Bowl LI. By the way, if you haven't noticed, I'm not a big fan of the gray helmets. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Panthers "Blaze" Helmet

    No one wears more blue than sports teams in North Carolina, so this makes perfect sense as the Panthers' alternate helmet. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Saints "Blaze" Helmet

    The Saints have existed since 1966 and somehow have never worn a black helmet during a regular season game at any point during their franchise history. That needs to change ASAP. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Buccaneers "Blaze" Helmet

    The Buccaneers' uniforms are so ugly that this helmet would probably make them better. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Cardinals "Blaze" Helmet

    The Cardinals' helmets are cool until you realize that they're pretty much exactly the same as San Francisco's. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Rams "Blaze" Helmet

    The color on the Rams' helmet have been reversed, just in case you felt like something was different, but couldn't quite put your finger on it. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • 49ers "Blaze" Helmet

    The 49ers' helmets are cool until you realize that they're pretty much exactly the same as Arizona's. 

    Credit: Riddell
  • Seahawks "Blaze" Helmet

    If the Seahawks ever wore this with their bright green Color Rush jerseys, your HDTV would likely explode.
