It makes it look like cheap fake gold that you buy on the boardwalk at the Jersey shore.
Maybe that's the goal here. I personally like the lighter shade myself..........or whichever one helps the team play better.

Link: Old vs New Helmets
the helmet on the left is the one they went to in 2011 and remained the same up until 2015. The last 2 years the helmets look more yellow. If you look at a photo from 2012 and a photo from last year you can see a significant difference. Look at the helmet in the photo I posted and then look at the one you posted. Two different shades. The 2016 photo looks more yellow. I liked the way the helmets looked in the photo you posted which would have been 2011-2015
