It appears as though most, if not all, of the eight AAF teams will be introducing their uniforms (including helmet designs, hopefully) tonight during the league's 'protect or pick' draft, which will be televised on CBS Sports Network beginning at 8:00 pm EST / 5:00 pm PST.

Thanks, I was surprised it took so long for the uniforms to be made public.

Kind of a mixed bag as far as the helmet designs go, in my opinion. Does anybody really like "non-symmetrical" helmet designs? Not me! 😣 I think several of these would be quite nice if they'd just put the team logo on both sides instead of uniform numerals on one side...ugh.

The helmet design artwork that was released yesterday appeared to differ from the photograph that was released for at least one team (San Diego), and possibly for Salt Lake also (is it a silver helmet, or a white one?)

For most of these teams I guess I will wait until some more photographs surface, before adding them to the website, but I have added the Orlando Apollos to the site since I found a short video with some good views of an actual helmet:

Similar videos for the other teams would be helpful.

Looks like these helmets are now under defunct teams.

Great, a discrepancy....so is there a logo on the left side, or uniform numerals, as in the earlier photographs? 😕

So I actually work for the Atlanta Legends and I just realized the discrepancy. Truth is that there has been confusion on our helmet. The "glitter" helmet was not the final design, it will be matte. I've talked with the equipment manager and he tells me it will have the numbers on the left and the logo on the right. Everything else is the same. I've been trying to snap a shot at a helmet here in the "office" but I haven't seen one lying around.

Thanks for the clarification. Think I'll wait until some good photographs turn up before adding that one to the site.

When will the Atlanta Legends be added to the Helmet Project?

There is some uncertainty as to the ultimate appearance of the Legends' helmets. The team has not (to the best of my knowledge) yet released any clear photographs showing the team's helmet design, except one which was denounced elsewhere in this message thread as being inaccurate by a person claiming to work for the team (the photograph showed a helmet with the "crown" logo on its left side but the guest who left the message stated that the helmet would have uniform numerals on its left side). Some artwork was released a few weeks back at the same time all the other teams did, but it is also of unknown accuracy. So just waiting for some good actual photographs (or video) to show up.

And of course I will not be at all surprised if several of the teams change their designs before they play their first games nine weeks from now.

I don't know if this is worth mentioning, but some Memphis players lack their helmet decal in their pre season game vs Salt Lake. Not sure as to the reason why, and I don't know if it needs to be recorded but just thought I'd bring it up.
