No more alternate helmets allowed in NFL...

The usual throwback jerseys the Dallas Cowboys wear on Thanksgiving day will not be worn by the players this year, as they have been ruled to be in violation of a new safety guideline recommended by the NFL’s Head, Neck and Spine Committee.

 

What does an alternate jersey have to do with safety? It’s all about the helmet. The guideline, which was recommended this offseason, states, in more or less words, that as soon as a player has a helmet that fits properly, he should continue to wear that helmet throughout the season.

 

Because these throwback jerseys require a different helmet — the white one with the blue star, as seen above — the NFL doesn’t want the Cowboys to wear them. Dallas then decided wearing the throwback jerseys without the helmets didn’t make sense, so they will wear their regular jerseys instead.

 

A similar thing happened earlier this year, when the Buccaneers decided not to wear their “creamsicle” throwback jerseys because of a similar ruling by the NFL re: the helmets.

 

A question brought up by a commenter last time that I have not been able to answer: Why not just paint the regular helmets and then repaint them for the next game?

the idea that the graphic design of the helmet makes any difference is absurd.  Why can't you have more than one uniform that is made by the same people with the exact same specs, but with different colors on it?  They make helmets for 32 different teams that all have different designs on them.  Why can't they make 2 for each?  When this was announced over the summer it was stupid and reactionary, and it's still stupid and reactionary.

no more throw back's? pitt and the bears have alreay worn them this year. what give's? btw the one's pitt wore...dreadful.

Throw backs are allowed, but not the helmets. It has to be the same one from the start of the season, which means no alt helmets which also means no real throw back uniforms

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
