The studies and data suggested that there was a break in period and other factors involved with new helmets.  So according to the committees, it was deemed "safer" to have 1 broken in helmet over the course of an entire season than having new helmets introduced periodically thru the year.

However colleges change helmets all the time.  And the results have been at least partially contradictory to what the safety comittees told the NFL.

Ah okay, thanks for the explanation. That makes at least a bit more sense.

Seems counterintuitive to me...

...akin to the cushion produced by  sole of a running shoe...

...said shoe produces the most cushion on day-1 and each successive run renders it less and less effective.  

JAT.
