27. Carolina Panthers

See the Jaguars.

26. Philadelphia Eagles

These modern Eagles helmets have never sat right with me. They are too glossy the color is wrong. The team should bring back the kelly green versions and be done with it.

25. New England Patriots

The Patriots are another team that had a perfectly awesome helmet and screwed it up trying to “modernize” or sell more jerseys or whatever. Long live Pat Patriot.

24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

On one hand, I think pirates, and skulls and swords are all awesome. On the other hand, these helmets look like something straight out of a Disney movie. Tom Brady would look much better in the old creamsicle uniforms with “Bucco Bruce” on the helmet.

23. Cincinnati Bengals

Some folks really love the Bengals helmets. They’re all right, I guess. Still, I can’t help but think of them as the low-rent Browns … if there can be such a thing. I can’t blame Bengals founder Paul Brown for stealing the Cleveland Browns color scheme since then Browns owner Art Modell fired him.

Think about that for a second. Art Modell fired Paul Brown AND Bill Belichick and stole the Browns and moved them to Baltimore, leaving the once-proud football town stuck with the “new” Browns and we all know how that’s gone. What a guy.
