Ironically, for the Ralph is cheap crowd - this was done out of necessity. Rather than go white helmets and buy a whole new set for a 2 times use (one home against the broncos and 1 away vs oilers) he just opted for a decal swap.

bigK14094 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Red helmets were originally introduced to help Joe Fergeson by giving him a recognizable target to throw to, thus reducing interceptions. Not a marketing tool at all back those decades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 It's been rumored for a while now that they were planning on doing the 90s throwbacks. I'm down for it. I like the current kits they have the most but mixing it up is fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If now they use that more metallic red, then he’ll yes. Chris Trapasso was guest hosting on OBL Friday and he had a good idea he’s been promoting. Instead of color rush (I never like the color rush look) Thursdays, he suggested the league should go with “Throwback Thursdays” so that for us could be the 60’s look, but I like the updated 90’s look. I kind of like it. It would be pretty cool going with the red helmet on any Thursday night we play. Sign me up.

Did you forget Drew Bledsoe, Sam Adams, Takeo Spikes, London Fletcher, Lawyer Milloy…it wasn’t until he cut loose of Donahoe that Ralph tightened the purse strings.

Okay you banned them in your house; how many visitors come wearing them? Color of helmet had nothing to do with kick wide right. Not getting closer to goal posts was cause on a grass field where Norwood had trouble kicking on. Every year Scott Norwood shows up our annual tailgate and every year he gracefully answers questions on that kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would we have to switch to them for the entire season? I know the NFL's rules are somewhat restrictive with this sort of stupid stuff. They should be allowed to wear whatever the heck they want, every game, as long as there is no color confusion with the opponent. I think fans like this sort of thing and what the hell, it adds diversity to things...and greatly multiplies the potential for merchandising sales, which I'm sure the team loves.

The NFL recently opened it up to allow a second helmet. Not sure if there are any rules around how many times they can use them, but I'm sure it works like the other uniform changes where it is all planned out ahead of time.
