1 Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons did a lot of losing in their throwback helmets, and that won't change this year. But black and red is an otherwise undefeated combination.
2 New York Giants
Unlike the Falcons, the Giants did a lot of winning in these throwbacks to the throwback. That adds to the nostalgia of these beauties, which should probably be their primary look. Also, as a Giants fan, I might be a bit biased.
3 Cincinnati Bengals
If there's one helmet I struggle to separate from the entire uniform the most, it's this one. It's fun to think about the Bengals in all white with black stripes a la the White Bengal Tiger. On its own, I've always enjoyed the Bengals helmet because of how different it is from others.
4 Carolina Panthers
The Panthers don't have a long history to pull from, so they lean on the possibilities of their awesome black and electric blue colors. This is a great look.
5 Dallas Cowboys
This helmet isn't representative of any singular great season in Cowboys history, but fans have plenty of good memories involving the simple and clean look.
6 Philadelphia Eagles
These are actually dope, and I like the touch of glitter in the glossy black paint. But my personal preference is matte black over glossy.
7 New England Patriots
In a vacuum, these throwback helmets are honestly just average. In concert with the red uniforms fans have been clamoring for, they work better. And Pat Patriot makes them a lot more unique than some of the remaining helmets on this list.
8 New York Jets
The Jets simply took their green helmets and made them black, which is fine because it's hard to make a black helmet look bad. But it's also boring. I would've preferred they bring back the 80s/90s throwback helmet.
9 New Orleans Saints
This might be a case of doing too much. The Saints' alternate helmet looks like a Luis Vuitton collab. Black and gold gives them so many possibilities, but I'm not a fan of this look.
10 Washington Commanders
Luckily for Commanders fans, everything about their look this season is new. Their alternate blacks are clean, just not very creative.
11 Houston Texans
I'm almost embarrassed to admit I called these awesome. Now, lining them up against the others, I change my mind. They're boring. And boring is worse in red than in black or white.
