Fantastic New Ravens Helmets Called 'Purple Rising.' Too Bad, They Will Only Appear Once Next Season. They Deserve To Be Worn Full Time.

The parade of the latest new NFL uniforms and helmets continued today, with the Baltimore Ravens delivering new helmets, which, in my opinion, are so fire that they should be their permanent helmet.

The Ravens unveiled their new "Purple Rising" alternate helmet on Tuesday, set to be worn for one game in 2024. The helmet, bathed in frosted purple with two yellow "talon" stripes down the center and the fearsome shrieking raven on both sides, is total fire.

On a recent podcast, Brad Downs, Ravens' senior vice president of marketing said that the focus was on maintaining the classic feel of their regular uniforms while giving the fans something new. It was challenging at times, with so many different options to choose from.

"We've thought about this for years," Downs said. "I think I had at least 14 options of helmets, and that doesn't even include swapping decals, locals, stripes. We narrowed it down to two, and this is the direction that we went."

"I know we look sweet, I don't even have to see it on camera," Zay Flowers said.
