I think that the greatest symbolization of a football team is their helmet. It's been raised in glory, lowered in defeat, scratched by blocks, shined by sweat and shows the hard work a team has been through.

Honorable Mention Bengals

This helmet is like a Halloween costume to me. When I see it i say wow how great. How good. How unique. How strange. How weird. How ugly. But most people I know never tire of watching players were tiger skins on their head. If only they had a Tigers keen defensive skills(which they might have in 08).

5. Raiders

Every time i see the logo i think how do they put this on a helmet. And I still dont know how but it looks so great together. Some would think a shield with a Pirate and 2 swords, with the word Raiders on it would be too much. But it flows greatly.

4. Colts

Just the fact that Unitas and Manning had the same helmet design is legendary. Never changed probably never will. Simple but bold. That ol lucky horshoe has been there for decades it will for decades to come.

3. Packers

This is just like the colts. Simple and plain, but legendary. Has been there for years. That big G. Bart Starr to Brett Favre. And just like the colts, it has never changed. I rank it ahead of Indy because I personally think it looks better.

2. Cowboys

Five times has a Vince Lombardi Trophy been hoisted by the Cowboys. Five Superbowls. This helmet may be plain but it's an icon. That star symbolizes 79 straight sell outs. The richest franchise in the NFL. Sucess is rewarded.

1. Steelers.

One side is a hardcore, old school football logo. The other side is black paint. The steelers uniforms and helmets are legendary in the NFL. The Black and Gold is everywhere. The second largest fan base and the most loyal fan base as well. The helmet has won 5 super bowls. And It is the symbol of hardcore football.
