CHROME ON CAROLINA

It works. Automotive heritage, yo. Then give the helmets secret compartments for whiskey.

Surely if anyone should get chrome for automotive heritage, it's the Lions.

For the helmet stuff, are the teams using the same helmet for practice too? If not then why not a full wrap / decal for alternate jerseys?

The Jets did that for their Color Rush

Here is the helmet design breakdown, as explained by Navy:

Linebacker: Cruiser- Provides anti-air defense and packs the biggest punch of Naval surface ships representative of the linebackers on the Navy football team

Defensive Back: Destroyer- Known for significant fire power, speed, and anti-missile defense as are Navy’s defensive backs

Wide Receiver: Submarine- Predominantly utilized as blockers, wide receivers play a key role in driving the Navy rush attack, taking on a stealth-like persona as they blend into the rhythm of the offense but bring significant fire power when called upon, just like a Naval submarine

Lineman: Amphibious Assault Ships- Just as a lineman’s job is the create a hole for a running back or linebacker, these ships are utilized to establish the “beach head” that enables the invading force to gain access and ultimately accomplish their objective

Quarterback: Aircraft Carrier- The QB of the Naval Fleet, the aircraft carrier is the ultimate decision maker; the “quick strike” weapon of the Naval fleet

Running Back: Littoral Combat Ship- Like running backs, these fast and nimble ships can navigate through both crowded shallow and deep waters

Kicker/Special Teams: Minesweeper- Much like the specific task of the Navy special teams, this small ship has a unique mission of identifying and eliminating mines

I wish the anchor was metallic gold like the stripe so that it mimiced the actual midshipman rank insignia, but otherwise it is really rad.

Seriously, the Jags helmet is god awful and I'm not sure how it even got past the design stage.

At least stick with a single finish.

Seriously whatever UA dudes they have designing the Navy uniforms are killing it. That was two years ago when they had the semaphore flags that read "BEAT ARMY" too, right?

In the late '90s/early 2000s every team with decent throwbacks went to the same awful generic navy blue: the patriots, the bills, the Brewers. You should have to have a special permit to change your team colors to generic navy blue.

It didn't even make sense for the Bills. Bills play in royal blue. This is constant. They get the best red/white/blue in return for being disappointing.
