Thanks, I would agree that the "wing" is different - it looks narrower and less vertical. But is the helmet really darker, or does it just look that way in this one photograph? I'm going to wait until some clearer photographs become available (which I would expect very soon).

Likewise I am uncertain about the Orlando helmet - is it black? Dark gray? A low-saturation purple? This one looks "unfinished" so I think I'll wait a bit before adding that one to the website.

The color of the Birmingham helmet is unclear - it looks almost maroon or brown in the new photographs, but the team color is "red". Again I think it's prudent to await clearer photographs taken under more natural lighting conditions.

Looks like Orlando is a very dark purple.

Thanks, could well be. At this point though I don't see any point in making a change yet until some better photographs arise.

In this image Orlando looks black again - I can't see any color difference vs Dallas and Houston:

Also, Columbus now has a white facemask 😑
