simtek34 Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 4 minutes ago, aawagner011 said: The way the rule is written makes it seem like the Saints have to revert from this nasty design: …back to this beauty A major win, if true. And perhaps they reclassify an all black design as Color Rush if they want to keep the black helmet, similar to what the Panthers did. I don’t see any reason the current Color Rush can’t stick around strictly as a throwback, perhaps with period appropriate black striped socks. It’s more just reshuffling the classifications than anything else. Not necessarily. The Saints Color Rush is a Color Rush. It may be based on a Throwback but it's not really a fully era-accurate Throwback. If it had Gold Pants, lacked the flour-de-lis on the pant stripe, and used the correct block number font, then it would be a Throwback. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 We have gone from the NFL basically treating their team's helmets like primary logos to inevitably rotating through uniforms like college teams do. Ick. This scares me, especially because I fear teams will use this opportunity to complete the "icy whites" look. (Also, does this maybe clear up what's going on with Denver? Could be that white helmet is for an all-white alternate look, while the primary will be blue. We will see.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgundy Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 45 minutes ago, DCarp1231 said: I’d imagine Washington will get a gold helmet at some point. Whether its this season or next. They'll be getting entirely new uniforms (and probably a name) before they add another helmet. And they couldn't do it for the upcoming season anyways, as the rule change doesn't go league-wide until 2025. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like to blame Nike for a lot of things around here...buy Nike had nothing to do with this. This is 100% on the league. 4 hours ago, simtek34 said: Wow. Can't say I'm surprised at the news, but hoped it would be a long time before it would happen. Oh NFL, you never cease to surprise us. What a slippery slope it was in exchange for the return of so many Throwbacks. When I saw the news, I instantly thought of @oldschoolvikings. He's been warning us for years that if the one helmet rule were to ever be overturned, things would lead to this. I'll say that it's good that Primary Uniforms still require the Primary Helmet, but that's bound to change soon at this current rate. Over/under on three years by the time it's a free-for-all on mixing and matching Helmets and Jerseys. I give it until the beginning of next preseason. 3 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
