Ranking the NFL alternate helmets for 2023, including the Eagles’ beautiful kelly green look

NFL Arizona Cardinals Atlanta Falcons Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns Dallas Cowboys Denver Broncos Detroit Lions Indianapolis Colts New England Patriots

Beginning with the 2022 season, the NFL allowed teams to add an alternate helmet to their uniform options.

Not every team rolled out a second helmet that year, but many did and the rollouts continued into the 2023 offseason, where some teams even broke out alternates to replace their first versions.

Some of the helmets are throwbacks, some are throwback-inspired and others are new concepts altogether. Whatever the approach of each team, there are helmets that definitely stand out above the rest.

Below is a ranking of each helmet — independent of full uniforms — judged by style, creativity, nostalgia or just simply how much I would want to rock each one.
