This is the Jets helmet from between the white variations, and for some reason I always liked it.
This is one of the early Oilers blue and white derrick deals, very classic and simple colors:
The dark blue and gold bolt is underrated and easily forgotten amid the excitement of the new/old white ones, or something:
Being a Giants fan, don't ask why an Eagle's helmet show's up here, but this old school look has always appealed to me (plus eagles kick ass):
How awesome? In the early '60s the 'Niners rocked the silver helmet with their classic logo:

Not so much a prototype as a gift, this is kinda cool, the reverse Bangles:
After the Oilers moved to Tennessee, they pondered the idea of becoming the Tennessee Copperheads, with a color scheme of copper and green, with an homage to their Oiler roots. It's not surprising that this look didn't go: teams usually try to make a splash with a rebrand (Brooklyn Nets notwithstanding), and even this would be pushed out for a bad idea (Titans?)
The best prototype here, this Dolphins helmet should be put into use right away:
This is the crazy disaster helmet known as the "One Day Helmet"; as in, the 49ers unveiled it and the outcry was so strong they retracted it:
Here's one of the early Falcons ideas. When they joined the league, they went with this same look, only with red instead of white:
