Alternate helmet designs?

I often thought it would be neat to have stripes on the helmet run vertically vs. horizontally as the do now. I would also change the style of the stripe to have sharper edges and little nastier look vs. the current curvy style. I think it could be a cool updated look. Any artists out there that want to give it a swing?

??? I thought they did run vertically?

I think our helmets should stay the way they are, but for those who want the colors reversed, whoever Bernard Scott is playing against in this pic is using that design already.

I agree now that I see them with a uniform. The previous post showing orange on black looked better that these. Not sure why.

From the front of the helmet to the back. Opposite of what they do now. Think Michigan.

This helmet is the shit, put it on top of a black jersey and it will look bad ass.

I wouldn't want to "change" our helmet, but I would love to see a different design once in a blue moon.

I have always been a fan of the helmets, bold and original. If I was given the chance I would make a few tweaks though. Maybe go to more of a burnt orange than the pumpkin orange and possibly add a little white to the bottom of the helmet to give it an even more authentic tiger look. I also would be a huge fan of a black and white alternate helmet/jersey although I know that would be a siberian tiger and not a bengal.

Sorry guys, I never post here ( usually post at bengalsjungle) but I alway stop by and read. I did a photoshop of the unis (love the helmets) and posted over there. Here they are, feel free to flame:

Not a big fan of the helmets with the "B" or the Tigers on them (in any form). For me, it's Old School or Stripes. But I have to admit, ever since I saw the photo of the helmet with the reversed stripes (orange stripes on black) from that NFL Network interview with ML, I've secretly been pining to see them on the field.

IMO, they'd look pretty badass worn with a black jersey.

agreed, the argument against them is obviously that there is no tiger that is black with orange stripes, but when have you ever seen a blue panther, turquoise jaguar, or teal dolphin?

I would love to make this helmet. Where could I buy the orange stripes?

Take an orange helmet with sticker stripes. Leave the stripes on for the time being. Paint the shell gloss black. Remove said stickers. Ta-da, orange stripes.
