      Considering some of the factors from step one, choose a base color and secondary colors for your helmet. Base your helmet logo on this color scheme. These colors will play a key role in your team’s identification. Take some time to consider which color would best represent your team’s city or affiliate organization—many teams have their representative colors already determined.

      Choose where your logo will appear on your helmet. Traditionally, helmet logos appear on either side of the helmet just above the ear hole. Some teams, such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, use only one side of the helmet. The Iowa Barnstormers utilize the front and sides of the helmet. Be inventive. A cleverly placed logo can contribute to originality.
