(Hopefully) constructive criticism
Looking these over, I'm guessing you made them or are at least affiliated with the site that did so (given that this is your only post and your name is conhel - con(cept)hel(mets).

I appreciate the effort and realize you don't design that many new helmets without taking some shortcuts, but I'm sure you've noticed the response isn't what you hoped. Instead of just mocking, let me provide a few hopefully helpful insights

1. You don't seem to take into account the 3D nature of the helmet. A good example of this is TX St, where the logo doesn't curve with the helmet.

2. The logos are often too big. Thinking about the helmet as a complete object, anything that wraps around to one side is a problem since it's likely mirrored in the other.

3. Lots of words. This is an extension of point 2 because I think that's why it's rare to have a team location and name all on a helmet, rather than a symbol or the like.

Look at the ones that work better - USC, Wash St and a few others all benefit from less. Others, like the Southern Miss Golden Eagles just have way way too much on the helmet. Honestly it looks like you just found previously created images/banners for most online and then mapped it to a helmet (see Syracuse basketball on their football helmet). Either focus on those that you have something good for or put the effort in for the others.
