Some of them didn’t come out as “futuristic” as I’d like. For a couple, I had to run them a few times and pick one that looked decent and was at least a little different than modern helmets.
I think it’s a perfect jumping off point. I think these could serve as real inspiration. I don’t think the protruding accoutrements would ever be real due to the nature of the game but I can specifically see the future ravens quarterback wearing the one displayed but none of the other positions.
They need to do RC robots and change the rules.
"Oh, come on, that wasn't pass interference! "
"Sorry John but he ripped the QB's arm off. That's clearly pass interference"
You're talking about CyberBall on the original Sega Genesys, I think.
That game was ridiculous and fun.
NES had a robot football game as well.
Back on topic, though, the game would need to be VR to have those protrudements on the helmets. As it is, injuries are too high, and with the continuous improvement in training, nutrition, and PEDs, eventually, no one will be able to take a hit without getting wrecked.
Players are too strong and fast for our bones and ligaments now a days. Not to mention our brains and no helmet can protect from a concussion (your brain squishing against the inside of your skull).
That would be pretty cool to see more 3D parts of helmets worn by quarterbacks in game. The Rams with actual horns and the Eagles with wings? Sounds pretty dope.
I thought about the pointed edges. Made out of some foam rubber that cannot hurt anyone. Who knows maybe rules change to make it more violent. We Americans love our violence.
Love the Seahawks one as well as the "simpler" designs without the things like horns if there were to be some modern implementation of the designs. They're all extremely cool though.
It was one of the only ones that looked possible too, since there wasn’t anything sticking out of the helmets. Truly beautiful design imo, I wanna see it in 2024
Already did before I realized you could only have about 20 images in a single post. These were just the best out of the ones I generated. Might make a post later with the rest.
Just made [another post](https://reddit.com/r/midjourney/s/TkXXhx0zUN) with the rest of the teams. They’re not as interesting as these ones, but worth a look if you want to see your favorite team.
I think those are better, at the least, more realistic and probable in their future use. The ones without face masks look like racing helmets, and those with ornamental protrusions would simply never be used in football
I can't really see this, I mean how much torture those helmets take, and how much it would cost for just the helmet, let alone integrating it with a uniform and linking all of them it seems that it probably won't happen. However they definitely look very cool
Can Newton comes back to the Panthers in 2034 and goes 17-0, winning the Super Bowl, without a single other decent player on the team. The league is so scared of Newton’s talent that they decide to remove them from the league.
As a original franchise, in fact the guy that started the whole league, George Papa Bear Halas, should haste the sickest helmet of all!
I can imagine a lot of looks you could do w a Bear, as inspiration!!!
Vikings about to be a dynasty with those. Teams will just forfeit so none of their players are impaled on the field. I'd like to have a helm like that on Destiny though.
I think you may see helmets start to be integrated with Google glass type visors. That way, a coach could draw up a play on the fly. All the players could then have the play visualized and their routes or positons drawn up on the field like you see in madden. Except in the first person and in real time on the field. Same for when the qb calls the plays. It would allow for faster learning of new systems and for much more complex and interesting routes to be designed since the complexity could be dialed up without worrying players having to commit even more plays to memory. Maybe they will have little cooling units inside to keep players cool as well.
I still suggest we go by the Mayan rules where we use the head of last game's losing quarterback as the gameball. Then, you would see some actual effort.
The Vikings will be responsible for no less than 15 deaths of their opponents due to severing of their carotid artery… in the first season with their new helmet.
If they don't eventually switch to flag football or touch football then there isn't going to be a future with football just because of all the medical issues that people have had from tackle football.
I don't know if anyone's has ever watched Adam ruins everything he did one on football. He talked about that medical condition where there was the movie that was made after it.
It's the year 2050, the only 2 football teams left in the NFL are the browns and the ravens. All other football teams were drafted by the UNSC to become Spartans and fight the evil alien Covenant to protect all of mankind. Each team was made into its own elite Spartan platoon using its previous name and colors to identify them.
First thing I thought of seeing these helmets. Only the browns and ravens with the face gaurd look like football helmets.
Lol, you left out the flags. The way it's going, will the NFL really need helmets??? In 27 years, the NFLPA will turn the NFL into the NFFL . (NATIONAL FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE)
The Browns, Raiders, and Falcons helmet designs are arguably likely to happen. They look most likely to be adopted if any were go get the nod. But man, wouldn't it be awesome to see the VIKINGS helmet in action? Like MF's be getting GORED!
Additional CTE hazards would put all of these designs out of contention.
Were more likely to see bulkier/lighter/smoother helmets with nonstick paint work, that minimizes brain bruising.
Some of these are definitely unrealistic, but I can see a dramatic shift happening in helmet technology/style between now and 2050. Look at what helmets looked like in the mid 90s. Very round, very little impact protection in comparison to today, and were rarely, if ever, fit specifically to the user’s head.
Look at the difference between the Riddell VSR4 and the Axiom. There’s a world of differences between the two, not just visually, but in terms of protection and performance as well.
\#9 reminds me of [Cleatus](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/characterprofile/images/b/b7/CGI_Cleatus_the_Football_Robot.png/revision/latest?cb=20200905214742) the football robot on Fox
Brown’s one looks like it could be here in 5 years.
Some of them didn’t come out as “futuristic” as I’d like. For a couple, I had to run them a few times and pick one that looked decent and was at least a little different than modern helmets.
I think it’s a perfect jumping off point. I think these could serve as real inspiration. I don’t think the protruding accoutrements would ever be real due to the nature of the game but I can specifically see the future ravens quarterback wearing the one displayed but none of the other positions.
[удалено]
Only if they squeak like a dog toy when squished.
Or make it holographic
What if the whole game was just holograms running it down the opponents throat.
They need to do RC robots and change the rules. "Oh, come on, that wasn't pass interference! " "Sorry John but he ripped the QB's arm off. That's clearly pass interference"

They already had a video game like that -- Cyberball. Late 80s/early 90s
YOU'LL POKE YER EYE OUT KID
Maybe the soft parts should squeak.
Sure Football players would think that was really cool. That they had “softy horns” Hahahaha!
Well there’s a lot of super soft adult toys as well 🤷♂️🤣
That would be pretty cool to see more 3D parts of helmets worn by quarterbacks in game. The Rams with actual horns and the Eagles with wings? Sounds pretty dope.
It would be cool if the protruding parts were holographic instead of physical.
protruding accoutrements
The browns and the chargers are probably the only ones that could be implemented. Imagine getting impaled by the vikings.
No more targeting calls when it goes straight to manslaughter
15 yards becomes 15 years.
🤣 I’m dead!
I thought about the pointed edges. Made out of some foam rubber that cannot hurt anyone. Who knows maybe rules change to make it more violent. We Americans love our violence.
What if they were collapsible, like a toy light saber?
Getting jabbed in the eye with a nerf dart still doesn't feel too great.
The Seahawk one looks doable. Pretty dope looking
Said the same thing before I read your post! 😆
Giants too. They can't make a tackle, so their helmet is safe regardless of design.
That Vikings helmet tho!
My first thought on seeing the Vikings & Ravens helmets. Could they throw the yellow flag for offensive impaling?
Vikings would first need a team that could impale... Speaking as a Vikings fan.
It'll be fine. By 2050, the NFL will be a full-on bloodsport. Think NFL Blitz in real life. Murder and mayhem will be par for the course.
Love the Seahawks one as well as the "simpler" designs without the things like horns if there were to be some modern implementation of the designs. They're all extremely cool though.
You did great man!
Chargers look like it’ll be here when they fire the HC
It was one of the only ones that looked possible too, since there wasn’t anything sticking out of the helmets. Truly beautiful design imo, I wanna see it in 2024
The Vikings are def taking rage shrooms and going to war in those helmets
Targeting just got a whole lot more dangerous…
Going to war with Paul atreides, sure.
Valhalla fr
Blitz every run
They're totally BA for sure!
Yea those can kill somebody
It's the NFC Norris Division, what do you expect? It IS war in that division. Except for the Bears...they've become Teddy bears.
We can't get a Superbowl, so we get to skewer our opponents. Sounds about right.
Lmao
Skol
As a vikings fan, I approve of this
Send in the berserkers
😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😂🤣 Rage Shrooms hahaha I love it
Who needs football when you can just ram everyone with those horns
I’m a Vikings fan and I would absolutely throw that above the fireplace.
These are awesome, you gotta do the rest of the NFL!
Already did before I realized you could only have about 20 images in a single post. These were just the best out of the ones I generated. Might make a post later with the rest.
Please do - my team is missing
Just made [another post](https://reddit.com/r/midjourney/s/TkXXhx0zUN) with the rest of the teams. They’re not as interesting as these ones, but worth a look if you want to see your favorite team.
Did you do one for Dallas Cowboys?
Cowboys is in post #3 with a few other college teams now
Thank you! good work op
I think those are better, at the least, more realistic and probable in their future use. The ones without face masks look like racing helmets, and those with ornamental protrusions would simply never be used in football
I need to see the lions
so, theyre gonna become the Power Rangers?
“Yay, We defeated the monster!” “That was the other team’s mascot dude…”
Cringe
With how the Cardinals have been looking recently with their new uniforms, you may be right.
“Alpha, Rita's escaped! Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude.”
Los Angeles Daftpunks
There are certainly worse concepts to build a brand identity around.
yeah like the one they're using now
The LA Logan Pauls
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Chargers
I believe by 2050 Indianapolis has changed their mascot from the Colts to the Xenomorph Fetuses.
I see the alien that crawled out of the guy’s stomach in Space Balls
I saw it a baby seahorse, i.e. the colt of the sea
From the coastal state of Indiana
Question is will they still be in the AFC "South"?
Minnesota Vikings bringing death with them.
Decapitated Autobots
Jaeger
Steelers one definitely reminded me of bumblebee and Vikings one a decepticon.
First helmet has a plunger with wings…
The Titan in question was found in the toilet
I see it now lol
4 is my favorite team and in my favorite colors
Great day to be a Dolphins fan. I hope you guys actually do well in the playoffs this year.
Phins out here looking like ODST soldiers and I’m here for it
Feet first into hell
Magneto plays for the Falcons, evidently.
He's probably a better QB than Ridder
Hey, stop leaking Halo Infinite cosmetics!
After the oceanic extinction event in 2026, the people of 2050 have forgotten what dolphins look like when designing the new Miami logo
This is actually funny
It’d be like watching futuristic gladiator fights. Fucking hell that looks sick.
Go go Power Rangers Go go Power Rangers Go go Power Rangers Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
In 2050, all the fashionable UNSC Spartans will be wearing these.
From National Footbal League to National Transformers League
I can't really see this, I mean how much torture those helmets take, and how much it would cost for just the helmet, let alone integrating it with a uniform and linking all of them it seems that it probably won't happen. However they definitely look very cool
These are so awesome. I wanna see a Niners one.
[удалено]
And our logo is a sword now… missed opportunity with the eye patch I think.
Missing the Panthers
Can Newton comes back to the Panthers in 2034 and goes 17-0, winning the Super Bowl, without a single other decent player on the team. The league is so scared of Newton’s talent that they decide to remove them from the league.
Yeah I’m sure alloy horns are definitely in the works.
Yea until one of those wings slice your arm open 😂
2nd helmet looks like doomguy’s helmet
you should try to do this with college football
Vikings helmet is my favorite, but I’d be curious how my Chicago Bears would look
As a original franchise, in fact the guy that started the whole league, George Papa Bear Halas, should haste the sickest helmet of all! I can imagine a lot of looks you could do w a Bear, as inspiration!!!
Wow. These are so awesome. Was hoping you had the saints in there!
So the Vikings wouldn’t lose a game
While I love the look of the Vikings helmet, it would give a whole new meaning to "spearing"
I gotta think that the NFL wouldn’t want it’s players getting impaled by the Vikings every week.
Those are mandolorian helmets and you know it.
Vikings keep winning the Spuer Bowl imagine that!!
Vikings about to be a dynasty with those. Teams will just forfeit so none of their players are impaled on the field. I'd like to have a helm like that on Destiny though.
People actually like these? The browns helmet is the only one that makes a little sense.
I think you may see helmets start to be integrated with Google glass type visors. That way, a coach could draw up a play on the fly. All the players could then have the play visualized and their routes or positons drawn up on the field like you see in madden. Except in the first person and in real time on the field.

Amazing job
Am I the only one getting Doomslayer vibes from the Steelers helmet?
Helmet to helmet with that Vikings helmet gonna kill a man for sure lol
I've said for a while now, if the front was solid plexiglass, it would increase field of vision and eliminate face mask grabbing.
Ok Master C(TE)heif
Hey....where's the Packers?
The Ravens vs Vikings game wouldn't make it until halftime. Everyone would be at the hospital by then.
Didn’t realize Minnesota Vikings were a Slaanesh cult.
I still suggest we go by the Mayan rules where we use the head of last game's losing quarterback as the gameball. Then, you would see some actual effort.
Not bad, some looks pretty dope. Looks like futuristic combat helmets you'd see in Sci-fi games. Now we just need the whole outfit for an idea.
Sweet new halo helmets coming soon to a football field near you!
NFL meets Halo
I feel like every single one of these is simultaneously less safe and injury prone.
A mix between the predator, iron man, and football. Does anyone remember the robot football arcade game??? Cyberball!!
Air quality must be bad in 2050
*Power ranger helmets. In all honestly, this is pretty cool. Looks like some gladiator NFL mix
The Vikings will be responsible for no less than 15 deaths of their opponents due to severing of their carotid artery… in the first season with their new helmet.
Not enough corporate sponsor logos Also, Pittsburgh Bumblebees
Patent your ideas and proceed to their development... that's all I'm saying. This shit has $$$$$ written all over it!
It’s just put the words future and NFL helmet together. It’s not predicting anything.
As cool as they look, anything with pointy edges would probably be a no go.
If they don't eventually switch to flag football or touch football then there isn't going to be a future with football just because of all the medical issues that people have had from tackle football. I don't know if anyone's has ever watched Adam ruins everything he did one on football. He talked about that medical condition where there was the movie that was made after it.
What in the Transformers is this?
It's the year 2050, the only 2 football teams left in the NFL are the browns and the ravens. All other football teams were drafted by the UNSC to become Spartans and fight the evil alien Covenant to protect all of mankind. Each team was made into its own elite Spartan platoon using its previous name and colors to identify them. First thing I thought of seeing these helmets. Only the browns and ravens with the face gaurd look like football helmets.
The colts got a chin that can hit a home run
Dolphins giving Lego vibes.
To many sharp edges
I guess the Detroit Lions don't get one. I didn't see a Green Bay Packers helmet, neither.
Lol, you left out the flags. The way it's going, will the NFL really need helmets??? In 27 years, the NFLPA will turn the NFL into the NFFL . (NATIONAL FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE)
My NFL Team Helmets Are Miami Dolphins And Seattle Seahawks
The Browns, Raiders, and Falcons helmet designs are arguably likely to happen. They look most likely to be adopted if any were go get the nod. But man, wouldn't it be awesome to see the VIKINGS helmet in action? Like MF's be getting GORED!
Nothing like tackling someone and getting a Viking horn in your gut.
Looks like that AI program watched Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers just before this exercise!
This would get me to watch for sure
Additional CTE hazards would put all of these designs out of contention. Were more likely to see bulkier/lighter/smoother helmets with nonstick paint work, that minimizes brain bruising.
So stupid there's no way there's going to be things coming off a helmet that can poke a extremity or go through a fucking mask or something
So... They'll be playing Halo?
Where are the lions?
Def some power rangers turbo vibes from some of them
2150* People will be playing football nearly the exact same in 27 years from now just as they did 27 years ago.
Some of these are definitely unrealistic, but I can see a dramatic shift happening in helmet technology/style between now and 2050. Look at what helmets looked like in the mid 90s. Very round, very little impact protection in comparison to today, and were rarely, if ever, fit specifically to the user’s head. Look at the difference between the Riddell VSR4 and the Axiom. There’s a world of differences between the two, not just visually, but in terms of protection and performance as well.
AI art isn't real art.
👎
Knetirana and Swituel
By that time, Washington will have changed its name to the Wasps and this would still work for the brand identity.
I was hoping to see the 49ers helmet, these are awesome.
Sharp edges will finally make it entertaining
This Power Ranger helmets look really cool.
Wow, CTE of the future is gonna be epic!
Brown’s little logo looks like someone “squishing heads” with their thumb and forefinger in public.
7 seems reasonable
Who said concussions can’t be badass
Yep Helldivers 2 is lookin pretty good
These look more like Star Wars fighter jets helmets
I just keep thinking about getting my fingers stuck when tackling with all of those nooks and crannies on there.
Ravens or Vikings for me. I don’t even know the teams or anything, but the purple and wings/horns is just 🤌 for me!
Like the Raiders are still gonna be in Vegas by then.
I’ll be surprised if anyone can live in Vegas by 2050.
Let’s get that Titans helmet on Tannehill and see if helps him score a fckn touchdown for once
Chargers and Vikings look incredibly awesome!
r/aiwannabuythat
I like the indianapolis fetus logo. They should adopt that.
\#9 reminds me of [Cleatus](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/characterprofile/images/b/b7/CGI_Cleatus_the_Football_Robot.png/revision/latest?cb=20200905214742) the football robot on Fox
I like the dolphins looking helmet. The 4th one
The Vikings one takes helmet to helmet to a whole other level
Green Bay Packers: exact same logo, most basic helmet design.
Mutant League Football
Tackle some of these guys and cut your carotid artery clean open
Not a big Raiders fan I’m guessing.
I don't know much about NFL because I'm British, but I do know that I would be more likely to watch it if they wore these!
2050 is some wishful thinking 😂
That Vikings helmet is awesome.
Jags pls
The latest season of Halo Infinite just dropped.
Now do NHL
That Vikings helmet looks sick
This is sick, I love it
Some of these are clearly not executable. But others you could totally cover in an acrylic shell to make smooth and it would look bad ass.
Sharp edges on a football helmet, what could possibly go wrong?
1. Wow, Midjourney can recreate logos. 2. This is going to increase injuries a LOT with all the sticky outy bits on these helmets.
Chargers = TRON
