NFL 2022 Changes

All these new throwbacks being released has me a bit frustrated that teams like the Seahawks and Buccaneers decided to wait another year to bust them out. Seems like there really isn’t much of an excuse other than a total lack of motivation on their part.

All I’m saying is, the white Bengals helmet is a waste of a second helmet 🤷🏻‍♂️

How is it a bigger waste than them just making a basic orange helmet with the word "BENGALS" put on it your alt just because it's a throwback? At least the white helmet plays into their brand in a fun way and keeps the iconic stripes intact.

More I looking at photos the more I don't understand. Giants helmet is a new one or current one with different decals?

The giants now have 2 helmets. One is Royal blue and will be used with their normal home + away sets.  They now also have a darker navy helmet to use with throwbacks since it is period appropriate.

The Seahawks and Buccaneers (and Eagles, Bills, and Broncos) throwbacks weren't in the style guide for years (whereas the Falcons, Patriots and Cowboys were), and they couldn't pair the throwback jerseys with a Color Rush helmet, like the Giants apparently were trying to do. 

 

I'd put more blame on a team like the Saints who completely f'ed up a good looking throwback look by adding a helmet that has nothing to do with the throwback jersey.

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Define “in a fun way” because a helmet that is completely devoid of an essential color to the team isn’t exactly “fun” and no, it doesn’t keep the iconic stripes intact. It makes the team look cheap. It’s a bad helmet that has no place amongst an orange and black team.

The color rush uniform and helmet combo will still be worn this year. Week 3 I believe. And likely with the “current” helmet but re-fitted with throwback decal and white facemask like the past 6 years.

By the way, if anyone is counting the Giants will wear 4 different sets of white pants this year -

 

“home” - white with blue-gray-red-gray-blue stripe

”road” - white with red-white-red-white-red northwestern stripe

”color rush” - white with blue-red-blue stripe

”classic - white with blue-red-blue stripe 

 

the color rush and classic are very similar but have different colors. The color rush is inspired by the 80s-90s road uniforms but in 2000’s colors. 
the classic have the actual shades of blue and red from that era.

Is there any sort of 5-year rule for helmets, like jerseys have? Or is it a free for all like pants and socks?

Would assume as long as it’s an alt it’s free game every season, right?

One of the strangest hills I’ve seen someone die on lol. Bengals throwback is just a copy of the browns

Is that a rumor? God I hope they didn’t choose a black helmet over the Kelly green.

 

Eagles announced a black helmet for 2022 a while ago but haven’t unveiled it. They chose a black helmet this year because they have a jersey they can immediately pair it with. 

 

From what has been implied, the kelly green helmet will replace the black helmet in 2023.
