    He was prefacing the concept with what actually (incorrectly) happened. His statement of the Gamblers identity being retained was not a concept, but rather the concept was in response to what identity he (again, incorrectly) believed was being retained.

    Not that deep, but go ahead.

    A real man would have simply put duct tape on it.

     

    But seriously, they should be allowed to switch helmets without penalty, otherwise you may have guys hiding seemingly-minor damage for fear of having to sit out or cost his team.  That's obviously obvious damage that can't be hidden, but I could see rare situations where something's not right and the player knows and nobody else does.

     

    Waiting for Riddell's statement on the matter where they admit their plastic wasn't tested in stupidly-cold weather.  Or more likely, don't admit it.

    Theoretically, could Riddell be hit with “structural negligence”? Is that even a thing?

    You aware that it was the Roughnecks identity that stayed (with the Gamblers staff and roster), right?

    I’m confused. Why does this matter within the context of the concept?

    I have never seen an NFL helmet get cracked before. Was it because of the cold? There's no way modern helmets are cracking so easily without some help.

    Per rules, the Chiefs should have been forced to take a time out or  remove Mahomes from the playing field for at least one play. However, the referees allowed a helmet switch on-field without penalty. This isn’t the first time this season a Chiefs player was given special treatment.
     

    CB L’Jarius Sneed removed his helmet on-field in the game against the Vikings. He was supposed to remove himself for one play, but the referees quietly instructed Sneed to put the helmet back on and resume play.

    I see boomerangs along  with the most generic "modern football" font. (I still would say a improvement over rock's XFL logo, but not much, USFL was better than both)

    I feel like they could’ve done something with red and blue

    I'll just say that nothing that the Lions have done recently (white pants, blue helmets, not phasing out the all-grey uniforms) has hinted at a return to a traditional look... My guess is that whatever they're going to do, it's going to be very modern with the majority of looks being monochrome.

    I could see them going the Chargers route. A very simplified uniform with a more modern number font. They’ll probably have an all grey uniform and potentially an all black uniform (if the rumors are true)
