We came up with what we think is the best looking professional football helmets in our book. That means no college helmets were involved in this list. We went with professional leagues still around or part of the past. We did both W.F.L’S. The one from the 70’s and the one from the 90’s. The USFL. We even dabbled in the Canadian Football League however we did not inhale.. Most are from the NFL. However we liked a lot of helmets from the AFL before the merger of the NFC and AFC. We found some cool ones in Arena football that we liked. The X.F.L we did really not care about. Any leagues we have forgotten, oh well that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
We picked helmets with cool logos. Logos that say something. We did not pick old traditional helmets with the city’s first letter on the side of the helmet. No plain ole Jane like the Browns. We went with helmets with a logo that says we are going to kick your ass today. This list is not in any order. We broke them down with the different leagues. We probably missed many others that should be on this list. If we started a league, this is our 25 helmets.
