(For those unaware - the NFL dictates that players/teams must use the same helmet all season long, meaning they can't use a different colored helmet. Sure, they could paint the helmets but that's a pretty big undertaking when they're gonna be used in only one game.) Why couldn't they just put a wrapper on them like Rex put on his truck? then peel 'em off the next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... fair question. I'm not sure. I'm assuming they wrote the rule in a way that basically says no major alterations can be made to the helmet. Teams used to be able to wear throwback uniforms with a different colored helmet but now with the emphasis on head injuries, CTE, etc. the league has a real thorough checklist for equipment managers to maintain. They must feel that using a different colored helmet (even though the alternate helmet would be the exact same model and size that the player already wears, plus they can take the same facemask and put it on the alternate) could strengthen the opportunity for a head injury. "Oh, Player A wore a throwback helmet in week ten, there was a slight chinstrap alteration which caused his concussion, therefore we, the league, are not liable because we told teams at the beginning of the season that they have to use the same helmet for the entire season!" Or some whacky sh!t like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Yeah, let's resurrect a tired old marketing gimmick that was crap 40 years ago when it was devised and parade it around the stadium now. Buffalo, NY, the land that time forgot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then at the gate hand out Talking Proud products such as foam fingers and buttons to each person. Then, get the crowd rocking by playing Talking Proud over the sound system. Can you imagine the DB level in the stadium as the whole game day roster is introduced. This would be before the game broadcast of course but I would love to see a throwback to the past and invite the remaining Bills players to the stadium to celebrate. Anyone think this is a fun idea I don't understand people who think that the crowd would go crazy over a throwback uniform. The best reaction you will ever find to a throwback uniform would be back in 2003 when the sabres surprised everybody with wearing the old blue and gold jersey for fan appreciation day. No former bills jersey would ever do that. Edited June 15, 2018 by wagon127 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
