dont care Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 NFL wouldn’t go for it, can’t tell if the shell cracks underneath it. It happens more than you’d think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debo0775 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I think this has been posted before. It’s neat but kind of tacky looking IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groucho Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Why don't they use a cloth/fabric cover like they use for camouflage on military helmets? Central District Bulldogs SANFL Premiers: 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 Adelaide Crows AFL Premiers: 1997, 1998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would fall apart pretty quickly. Those covers protect the screws and straps that would otherwise be exposed. Constant scrapes and brushes would tear apart the cloth over time, in a quicker manner than what you see on jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groucho Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Ah! OK. Thank you I didn't realise that would happen. Good point.

Jimmy's Brother Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I think they should just wear different decals on the helmets. Much like when Denver wears the old D Broncos logo for their color rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it doesn't work for some teams but they could wear an alternate logo or the initials of the city. Just for some variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for some variety We don’t need variety in the NFL. It’s consistency is what makes it so you always know who’s playing. It’s not like the NBA where you have to figure out who is who. Who’s the home team, why the :censored: are they wearing pink, that we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correctamundo. Unless I'm mistaken, those wraps are extremely durable, so it's possible for the helmet to crack without the wrap being torn or otherwise obviously damaged even if it's practically bonded to the plastic.

The helmets need to be "slick" enough to slide off of each other when they collide. Cloth (and even the wraps) could create too much friction, and actually make the hits worse.

I totally agree with this, and I'm against all the mix-and-match outfits and multiple primary helmets, but I do like the occasional throwback game. Since throwbacks are part of teams' history, I don't think that one game a season damages the brand nearly as much as all the alt jerseys and pants combos do, and as much as alt helmets would.

M4One Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The NFL might be getting rid of the one helmet rule in 2021, so says Tampa coach Bruce Arians. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/03/25/one-helmet-rule-could-change-for-2021/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
