I know this belongs in the equipment section but I'm hoping it can be left here for a bit so it can get more views and discussion.
Do matte helmets require a different type of decal material? We changed our helmets colours to a gunmetal grey look and are sourcing new helmet decals. The samples we got from our supplier are too reflective where you can see the excess material through the blanks areas in the design.

No. Not to my knowledge. We ordered the same ones every time and its been great. But I will say that chrome logos on matte helmets is dope, clean, fresh. Whatever adjective you want to use.

we have been matte for about 5 years and we use Riddell stickers...
We get a chrome looking sticker and it looks great
The only thing with matte finish is the stickers will sometimes pull the paint off...

It happens to ours as well, especially late in the year when that sticker has been sitting on the helmet for a few months. |

I will second what everyone is saying about going with a chrome decal. We have a matte dark grey helmet with a chrome red decal.

I know this belongs in the equipment section but I'm hoping it can be left here for a bit so it can get more views and discussion. Do matte helmets require a different type of decal material? We changed our helmets colours to a gunmetal grey look and are sourcing new helmet decals. The samples we got from our supplier are too reflective where you can see the excess material through the blanks areas in the design. nope We were the first ones in our area using the matte look We did Matte black for years HC switched back to glossy before last season we liked the matte black look, but felt it was getting played out a bit and the biggest factor was the paint chipping off the matte colors dont seem to "stick" to the helmet as well we had a lot of flaking/peeling on the crowns of helmets and our riddell rep pretty much said the matte colors come off easier |

I like the look of chrome decals on matte helmets, but matte decals look good too.
I haven't noticed that our matte helmets chip any more than glossy paint.
I like die cut decals on matte. I don't like the extra transparent part of the decal on matte helmets because it stands out and shines too much.

No. We changed our helmets last season to matte black with a high gloss Vegas gold Trojan decal. The high gloss decals are a beautiful thing in a matte helmet. |
