An unemployed graphic designer took to Reddit on Tuesday to flash his skills by coming up with NFL helmet designs for each NBA team. Designing completely from scratch and eliminating basketballs from the logos of the 21 NBA teams that feature them, he produced some pretty cool designs.
All 30 of the helmets can be found on Imgur, but here are a few favorites.

It was quite the day for NBA artwork, as Stargazer Media came through with some "Game of Thrones"-inspired NBA house sigils. They just have to hope the King in the North is OK with this.
The Nets were also among the best sigils, while the Raptors were, well, not:
