Kiltman Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Feel like this is a big missed opportunity to not put into place for the 100th NFL season, could’ve had throwback games all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. It's a dumb *** rule as is. Makes no sense what so ever to begin with. If you as the NFL endorse Teams wearing Throwback Jerseys and the 100's of Millions in sales that occur because of it. Why on Earth limit those with newer/updated logos? Always been Stupid!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The two helmet rule was supposed to be about safety right? You would think that the helmet manufactures could replicate the midnight as far as style, safety, etc. How long ago did Pittsburgh wear those yellow helmets? Atlanta with their alternates. If feels like not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a scientist so it would be arrogant for me to weigh in on the matter, but the reasoning given is that helmets which are broken in are safer than fresh, new, mint helmets. So they have them continue using the same helmet which has been broken in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was the science used to make the rule, it was disproven I believe not long after. but they have to appear like they care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Why can't they decal the whole helmet or all of the helmet besides the wings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
