WSU151 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I’m guessing the Broncos will drop or change the current color rush unis and go with Orange Crush throwbacks in 2023. 6 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lot of people who were hoping to see it go away said was that it would be awesome to have alternate helmets again, as long as it was exclusive to throwbacks. I don't know how many times I saw that particular phrase typed... "I'd like to see alternate helmets again, as long as the NFL has a rule that it has to be just for throwbacks." And what I said was, when the rule finally went away, I didn't believe there was any way it was going to be just throwbacks. Too many teams who don't want to wear throwbacks, too much money to be made, too much Nike. When it happened, alternate helmets would mean alternate helmets. So... you know... just for the record, I was right. The NFL played their cards right by waiting. They got fans invested by making them beg rather than give it up right away for nothing. They managed to keep it special. 1 hour ago, JayMac said: So how many helmets will each NFL team have by 2025? We all know they will not stop at 2. The NFL is the conservative pro league. I don't see them over saturating like the NBA does 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 18 hours ago, oldschoolvikings said: So... you know... just for the record, I was right. considering we’re a full season away from seeing what any teams do, and two full seasons away from seeing if teams unveil new throwbacks, it’s way too soon to say that you’re right (though you probably are). I expect some dumb needless alts in 2022, and then fewer of those and more throwbacks in 2023. the teams to watch out for are the ones that don’t need to change up their shells for their throwbacks, since they’ll basically have a 3rd helmet option to play with. 6 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I’m assuming you mean a team like that would have free range to do a different colored helmet for the sake of a different colored helmet? The first team that comes to mind is Miami. They seem pretty solid on having a normal set and a throwback set. For as much love as the throwbacks get, why would they risk an aqua or orange helmet?

VDizzle12 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Blows my mind the number of "normal" fans that just have no idea what this rule means. Any post on social media about it is just filled with ridiculous comments. People are just like "can't wait! This is going to be " and post a picture of the Dolphins throwback or Browns orange helmet with a white facemask. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we obviously notice more than ordinary fans. But it's like people don't even understand the rule. Why post a picture of the 2020 Dolphins or Bills wearing throwbacks and say you're pumped to see this? It's the same damn uniforms and helmets those teams have worn for literally the past like 15 years. It's just common sense. It's the same idiots who, after the Browns unveiled new uniforms said "lolz what changed literally same uniforms poverty franchise " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they probably won’t because of the Super Bowl win in the current set, but if you want the change just go through with it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
