Some Dude Says Pats Have Worst Helmets In the League

 (I actually don’t mind this)

Fast Company - Among the weakest designs are the Washington Redskins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers , whose visually complicated logos become a graphic mess when televised and, I imagine, even if you’re sitting on the fifty-yard line. At the very the bottom of the list are the New England Patriots. The Patriots’ helmet is plastered with their logo, which comes dangerously close to looking like a wind-swept John Kerry dressed up like a Minute Man. If there was ever a time to go with the obvious this is it. Why not really play the patriotic card and star and stripe the helmet?

 Don’t ask me why I’m responding to what some dude who I’ve never heard of said about the Pats having the worst helmets in the league, but here I am. Anyway as shocking as it sounds I totally agree with this guy. I despise the Pats new uniforms from an aesthetic point of view. Always have. Always will. And I actually don’t mind this guy’s drawing of what he thinks the new helmet should look like either. But guess what ? It doesn’t matter. Because the Flying Elvis, as boring as it may be, symbolizes our dominance. Like even though I much prefer the Pat the Patriot logo there was still something missing when we wore the throwbacks this year. It was almost like our mystic was gone. And subconsciously I think it affected us as we lost two games. So yeah I don’t love the Flying Elvis but I love everything that it symbolizes. Dominance, Dynasty and destruction. Let the Bengals have their striped helmets and decades of misery. I’ll take my boring logo and super bowl rings coming out of my asshole any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
