Ravens become Siths in artist's Star Wars-themed helmet redesign
Star Wars helmetsAs the 2000 Ravens embraced their defensive identity and a run-first offensive strategy, head coach Brian Billick -- coordinator of wide-open passing offenses in Minnesota -- joked that he'd been "pulled over to the dark side."
Almost 14 years later, an artist in Mexico has designed a football helmet to better depict Billick and the Ravens' fall.
In a project posted on behance.net, artist John Raya shows off his Star Wars-themed redesigns of helmets for the teams in the AFC and NFC. Raya substituted each NFL city with a planet from the Star Wars universe and each NFL mascot with a character or creature from the the sci-fi staple.
