Raiders. Keep in mind, Raider Nation travels everywhere. Surely, the silver-and-black helmet is one of the most recognizable looks in football. Unquestionably, it will stand out against green branches and colored lights.
Texans. The navy helmet with the bull head gives Houston fans a bold, dark-colored ornament. Hence, it will contrast well with white or gold lights.

Cardinals and Rams. All in all, the white Cardinals helmet is one of the brightest in the collection. However, the Rams helmet, with it’s gold horn on blue, is just as easy to spot on the tree.
Giants. The blue helmet with the lowercase “ny” is undeniably a classic. Straightaway, pair it with the Jets ornaments if your house is split between New York’s two teams.
