    As soon as I read at the beginning that there wouldn't be any basketballs in the designs, I knew ours couldn't be good.

    It would be the worst helmet ever made.

    Most of these are awful. The "no logos" rule ruins them because a lot of the logos would fit well on the helmets

    If someone actually wore that Rockets helmet, would it not look like he's being eaten, head first, by some monster?

    The Rockets one is turrible. It's a blue pac-man with shark teeth.

    Man, I think you guys are crazy. The Rockets one was the best one. Then again, I never hated that logo as much as everyone else seems to.

    I didn't click on the link to the article - but i know that I know, that the Mavs helmet would have a string hanging down and out of it one week a month.

    The Blazers one is minimalist cool. A bunch of them are derivative "star", "bolt" and "wings" designs.

    The Lakers one coulda went some interesting directions, but it went RIGHT to Kobe nut-hugging with no concept. Might as well slapped on a Jeremy Lin # showing fan support over team.

    Pretty interesting concept. A lot of the designs seem uninspired though. I know the designer had rules not to copy and paste logos onto helmets, but it looks like he did just that for some of them.

    Also some of the elements are placed in odd places. (Bucks antlers, Hornets stinger, Hawks face). That being said, I do like the Wizards and San Antonio Ninjas helmets.
