NFL to allow alternate helmets starting in 2022

The NFL finally gave into on Thursday and announced that it will allow teams to wear two different helmets during the season starting in 2022.

The league had previously limited teams to one helmet in an attempt to increase player safety.

This is fun news for teams across the league as they can now present a proper throwback uniform if they so choose. That could mean the return of Pat Patriot in New England, Bucco Bruce in Tampa, a Joe Namath-era white helmet for the New York Jets, a red helmet for the Atlanta Falcons, perhaps a black helmet in New Orleans, which the Saints wore in the 1969 preseason, the kelly green of the Reggie White-era in Philadelphia, and so on.
