I never realized the Jets did the Namath throwback using green helmets twice - the first time was in 1993 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Super Bowl III, where they didn’t even bother to add the helmet stripes, just peeled the logo off and replaced it with the 60s version (according to the Gridiron Database this was the first use of a throwback uniform btw): Then for the 1994 NFL 75th season throwbacks, the Jets switched the Jersey to green and added the helmet stripes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume he will chime in here I remember reading that there were different reasons for teams not switching shells. Cost was likely one of them, but there was also some concern about “breaking in” a second set of shells. I know for a fact that at least one team chose to wear their regular helmets with throwback decals out of safety concerns, or at least said that was the reason, but I’m not 100% which one that was.

406Cane Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I think the Dolphins did a decal switch that year too, with throwback pants. The jerseys seem to have stayed the same though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the entire league did it, it was logical that certain teams changed decals, like the Jets. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solid helmet looks better than the one with the white stripes, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
