And before you get all hyped about..."messing with tradition"
Folks over 55 might tell you, we messed with tradition by adding the paw.

Correct, but the previous helmets were terrible & the PAW is classic.
It it ain’t broke don’t fix it

if you have to ask
you would not understand the Explanation
But I'm going to try
The QB can locate an open WR-TE-RB quicker
why do you think hunters have to wear ORANGE
why are Off Shore Life Jackets ORANGE
and there are many more
"High Visibility Orange"
Try this maybe you will see for yourself
take anything about the size of a helmet
a milk jug works good
with 2 paint 1 Orange 1 White
in a parking lot,,the woods, open yard
sit them on the ground,,on anything about eye level
or use a string to suspend them about 6ft apart
walk 60 to 100 ft away
close your eyes count 1-2-3-4 turn around then open your eyes
look in the area of the jugs
Which 1 did you see 1st

I'm surprised there are as many coaches as there are allowing multiple uniform/helmet combos.

You would think that having a consistent helmet color would aid players in identifying one another, thus increasing (speeding up) reaction times.

I seriously doubt that. The QBs practice these plays

so much that they don't look for a WR, they look to the spot where the WR is supposed to be on the route in that exact moment in time, and i doubt it's very hard to see if he's there or not.

If we make any changes to the helmet, I'd just do the inverse of what we have now with a white helmet and orange paw. Maybe for the military appreciation do a purple helmet with an orange paw, and two orange stripes with a white stripe in the middle. Basically keeping the same helmet design just changing the paw color/stripes depending on the shell color.
I'm all for something a little different 1-2 times per year, my only thing is always use some combo of orange/white/purple. It's a huge pet peeve of mine when teams start throwing in black or gray or chrome or whatever when those colors aren't even a school color.

That's the only change I would like

and it should only be used for a huge game with national implications where we are wearing our road whites for the "Storm Trooper" look.
