I hope the companies that designed them got paid upfront.

The Texas helmet is relatively good. These look like they were designed by a kindergarten teacher for some kind of class project.

Obviously they did. No one would have paid them after seeing the crappy product they turned out. Those are absolutely, positively horrible.

That's still giving them too much credit. Could they have been less original?

I kind of like them. Simple, classic, clean. Much better than an over the top arena league-esque helmet like the Denver Broncos or something.

I particulary like Texas and Florida's helmets. Just my opinion.

I am pleased that they each have a picture of the state they are representing. This will be most helpful as I can never remember what they look like. Sadly, this will not help in my being able to figure out their exact locations unless I am able to obtain all 50 of the helmets.

At least it doesn't have some damned Longhorn type thing on it (like the Texans)

Would anyone notice if that league folded?
Did anyone realize it existed in the first place?

Goodness, I didn't realize these people were still around trying to push this silly thing. What's the point?
