The NFL mandates only one helmet shell per player per season -- purportedly for safety reasons -- so the Bills can't have a supply of red shells on hand for such an occasion. Now, it has been debated whether this "safety" rule is really necessary -- with today's modern helmet technology there is really no "break-in" period for helmets and look how many colleges change them up regularly -- but until the NFL rule changes you aren't going to see the Bills in red helmets.

Can we just establish that the Colts game now is officially known as the "Hoth Game" as of today? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the all white throw backs. I'd rather just make that the official all white "away" uniform and keep the modern blue on white as the official "home" uniform.

Frankly I'd relish this. I wish they wore their AFL blue throwbacks like they use to those are the best unis they have period IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who implied that? I just prefer the traditional home and away unis. I don’t like the alternate jerseys in the NBA or the throw backs in the NFL, it’s all a money grab and most of them aren’t as good as what the team would normally be wearing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically "just play ball" is used when fans feel that players are being distracted by other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper and in general, yes. Absolutely. But there are cases in the league where the franchise has great looking uniforms from the past. The fans want it. The league wants it. There are not many of these cases, though. The chargers have it. The rams have it. The bills have it. These teams know how to do it and they should. There are also teams that have them but don’t use them correctly. The lions of the 60’s. They had a great helmet. Shoulder stripes but they choose to use that bland 50’s look. Ugh. There are are others that have been legislsted out because of the helmets. The patriots. The redskins. Edited July 3, 2018 by bobblehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Surely teams must have multiple helmets for individual players. If an inspection revealed a safety flaw in a game day helmet, I doubt a player sits out while waiting for a new helmet to be made. The NFL could easily poll in the off season for teams' preference for a throwback scheme for the upcoming season, and make sure that ONE variation has a properly designed and fitted helmet suitable for the throwback. If a free agent is signed midway through the season, does he have to wait until the helmet company makes up an appropriate lid? If I'm missing something that these poor cash strapped teams and poor cash strapped NFL can't afford, members, please clue me in. I attribute difficulties due to my constantly running into the brick wall in my yard in the Rawlings replica Bills helmet from the mid 60s. Now THERE'S a pending lawsuit for Celino and Barnes.
