2022 return of the red helmet.

Recommended Posts

I personally like the white helmet best but it looks like in 2022 teams can wear a 2nd helmet.

 

(18) uSTADIUM on Twitter: "Throw-BACK in 2022. The second-helmet rule will start this season and teams can now rock an extra helmet, which means we will see the return of the #Buccaneers Creamsicles, Pat the #Patriots and many more. Comment a throwback uniform you hope to see in 2022. https://t.co/CjVTZO9LMg" / Twitter

Ugh. We've known this. I thought you were saying the red helmet was definitely making an appearance. 

 

First I heard of it. I have nothing against the red helmet but to me the charging Buffalo "pops" more off the white helmet.

I believe the Bills will be breaking out the red helmets this season for a couple games. I believe that's one of the reasons they switched to a white facemask this past year.

 

If they do wear the red helmet I hope they do it with the blue over white or white over blue. Red helmet with the all reds or blues would blow IMHO.

Try 1 maybe 2 games. Their current thing with the throwbacks is once maybe twice a year depending. My guess is they probably do a home game 90s themed with the Red and perhaps you get one away game they wear those digs. Otherwise teams are pretty protective of using their current look for brand regardless of fan input.

JMO, but now that different colored helmets will be used, the floodgates will open with different unis, helmets, etc., ala the NCAA, all in the name of the almighty dollar.

Please no.  I remember the Fergie red helmet accommodation via switch in 1984 so he could tell AFC East DBs from his own WRs.  Bills then went 2-18 with the new helmets under Kay Stephenson. 

 

I believe 26 years of penance - including wearing the Red Helmet with the Dark Blue and CFL white road jerseys - was enough.

In addition, I’d love to see the Home blue throwback uni return. The Away ones are too much white.

 

(we can keep the current throwback helmet, right? Just add a 3rd??

Side note....My fatherly (or grandfatherly actually) advice to Josh is to sew up the deal with Brittany.  They seem like a very happy couple.  She appears to enjoy Buffalo and Bills Mafia.

Yes. Put a ring on it, Josh!

yes because the regular white helmets and the white throwback standing buffalo helmets are the same - they just switch the decals, so they count as “one helmet.” So with the reds they can use all 3 designs.

Do you think I'm like 20 years old or something?  Bro, I remember the likes of Fred Smerlas and Carwell Gardner.

 

LOL.  No, but your post made it sound as though you'd never seen that combo before.

I would love to see the Patriots go back to the old helmets for a few games.

 

This is one of the best pieces of sports graphic design I can think of.  Can't believe they would ever have moved on from it!
