Yes, it is painful. Helmets in rival's colors.

NFL helmets in their rival team's colors is painful to see

Ugh, my dinner almost came back up once the first image loaded.

No kidding. Nothing more nonsensical than a green Patriot logo. Although, the reverse case isn't so bad. In fact, it's arguably a huge improvement.

This one is even worse. Could also be Giant colors.

Look, anything is better than the color of puke or bile. You should lobby for a change.

 

[patchick]

I think this is a perfect test of fandom. Only your own team's desecrated helmet induces full nausea.

The Jets are a rival? Isn't that like a shoe being a rival with a crawling bug?

Sorry, had to go there, it does fit the definition of a rival as noun, but not rival as a verb

Which aspect made you sicker... the thought of extended excellence over two decades, or the five Super Bowl rings?

Haha i am 42 years old. I am still trying to figure out why the jets are a rival team. They have sucked for 45 years who cares about them. I think its funny how sad they are but dont you have to win occasionally to be a rival?

The Dolphins/Bills one isn't even jarring lol.

2010 was the most recently another AFC East team gave us real, legitimate trouble.

That was a rough year. They really showed us. The rivarly lives on.

It looks more Giants than Pats. If the helmet was more silver then that would have been something to lose sleep over

 

[Chevy]

Some of these are pretty good ...

Ha, probably not best to explain what exactly made me ill.

Let's just say I'm in no danger of ever becoming a Pats fan.

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

The Colts consider the Patriots their main rival? They're in different divisions and have been pwned for 20 yrs straight give or take a few games. It's a clear case of Stockholm syndrome.

The Jets Helmet reminds me of the old day when the folks at work would wear their "puff coats" with puke Jets Colors.. in those days it was impossible to buy any Pats Gear anywhere..

Used to wait for the "Sears Christmas Wish Book" or the JC Penney Christmas catalog to see if they carried any Pats gear, they did not..

 

[Sicilian]

I couldn't even tell that the Texans/Titans one was different.

If the Jets are the Pats primary rival, it just shows how pitiful the rest of the league has been. The AFC East just isn't relevant except when one of them gets the odd win over the Pats and affects the home field equation for the playoffs. I'd have picked Denver, honestly.

The Rats are really not a rival as much as an adversary.

Most of their "victories" against the Pats come as a result of tampering or actual cheating with the support of the NFL* front office and Omissioner.
