The silver does seem a little dated. Even a matte grey would look better...

After how the Jaguars butchered their own matte gray helmet and quietly got rid of them it might be best to leave that style alone. At some point the uniforms will be redone and the helmets should and will be redesigned along with that. For me any new helmet design should be silver or black anything else is just overthinking it and not necessary.

Return of two helmets remains possible for 2021

The NFL has been considering the possibility of dumping the rule that limits players to one helmet per season. That rule is unpopular for many, because it necessarily prevents teams from using throwback or alternative uniforms based on helmets with a different color than their base helmets.

According to the NFL, there’s still no update on the possible return of multiple helmets for 2021. Even though the issue wasn’t raised at the ownership meetings conducted this week, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said that this change, if it happens, requires no discussion or vote among ownership

Does anyone have any insight into why the league has this rule?

It strikes me as the sort of arbitrary nonsense as your HOA dictating exactly where you can and can't fly a flag on your own @#$%ing property. 

@#%$ off with this sort of arbitrary pointless nonsense. Unless you can put forth a non stupid reason, let them wear however many different helmets they want in a season. 

Stupid.

It was put in place when all of the safety and concussion stuff was going on.  There were some safety advisory committees that made the recommendation to the NFL, and the NFL implemented it.

Thanks for the info, but how does this relate to safety or concussions? What am I missing here?

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.

What is this annual obsession w/changing the Panthers uniforms?

Panthers have been around for 26 years and:

Haven't won a Super Bowl.

Don't have back to back winning seasons.

But, what we do have are the "Greatest Uniforms in NFL History".

Quote

 

It’s now down to the final two. The 49ers will face off against the winner of the alternate/classic uniforms bracket. That’s the Carolina Panthers 2012 alternate uniforms.

... And guess what? They’re going to win — as of this posting, the Panthers have over 500,000 votes, while the 49ers have about 85,000.

The Panthers yesterday were voted as winners of NFL.com's "Greatest Uniform in NFL History"

Those were the days my friends.  We thought they'd never end.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
