If you're going to do faux-leather that's the way to do it! 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfraser85 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I'm curious about the Color Rush uniforms with this helmet option. The CR jerseys could benefit from this because the uniforms that looked best to me were the ones that matched the helmets. There may be a positive to this. If teams create a white helmet to complete the all-white look, that look may end up being restricted to an alternate/CR status and have its use capped. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Washington will probably pull a Rams and unveil a “modern classic” uniform version of the Lombardi era that will inevitably be promoted to primary status 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Impaler Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 15 hours ago, HOOVER said: These White/White combos don't suck at all...in large part because the teams wear White helmets. I always advised my clients: White helmet = White pants. If you wear a dark pant under a White helmet & White jersey, you're just going to have a very unbalanced, bottom-heavy look. The exception was teams that had a very light color that they wanted to use for a pant, such as the Chargers with Yellow pants or the Buccaneers with Creamsicle Orange pants, or the Dolphins in Aqua pants. Even then, it's slightly unbalanced and just doesn't look as good as White/White/White/contrasting sock. Examples of this being a bad combination: As a Husker fan, couldn't disagree more. I love Nebraska's road look. And I think the Colts looked better above than they do now. Nothing wrong with that Cards uni combo either. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsFan12 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 This rule sucks. It’s just gonna tempt more teams to add helmets they don’t need and eliminate color from uniforms like the two helmet rule has already done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltjets21 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 So I'm still not certain about this rule. I understand a team like the Eagles can have their standard Midnight Green, Kelly, and ALT Black. But could a team Like the Vikings have alternate White and Gold Helmets with no historical precedence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for standard alternates and Color Rush, they must use one of their current colors. At least that's how I read it. For example, the 49ers could create a red helmet for their throwbacks, but the Patriots can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags1828 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The teams that don't use the helmet rule to incorporate throwbacks will all come out with head to toe all black, all white, and all primary color uniforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The rule doesn't say teams have to have three helmets, just that they can. The raiders do fine with just one. Let's not go assuming things here. 6 3 Quote Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not go assuming things here. I would think more than half the league would take the opportunity to go all-in with what they can do by making additions. Sure, the Raiders and Packers might not make any additions...but let's look at the NFC South, for example. I would think that entire division ends up rotating through helmets pretty regularly.

damnyoutuesday Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Unpopular opinion: I don't hate the 3 helmet rule Alternate helmets can only be paired with alternate jerseys. It doesn't seem like the NFL has any intention of dropping the "3 alternate games per year" rule. So we still will only see alternate looks 3 times a year, with the primary looks still taking up 14 games a year. I think a lot of posters on here are blowing this out of proportion. The NFL is still not allowing mix-and-match with the helmets 10 1 Quote Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHayes Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 As much as I hate the City Connect nonsense the NBA is doing, at least I can understand it considering they play 82 regular season games every year, plus anywhere from 4-28 postseason games. In the NFL we only have 17 (soon to be 18) games plus playoffs. This is getting ridiculous. If the NFL is gonna do this, they could at least mandate that unis be coordinated...if one team is wearing a throwback for a game, then BOTH teams should. Same with alts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not go assuming things here. Everyone here is losing their minds for nothing. Just assuming the NFL will become a free-for-all where every team has multiple helmets and wears a different uniform every week. Is it too much to ask to just wait and see what happens? There's literally no reason to start freaking out because of hypothetical situations that may never come to fruition. Just because the NBA, MLB and NHL have been going nuts with uniforms lately, doesn't automatically mean the NFL will follow suit. As far as we know teams are still limited to 3 alternate uniform/helmet uses and all alternates are required to tie in with the overall branding and colors of the team. So no, crazy "city connect" uniforms are not happening. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ironic that so many people wanting the NFL to show restraint seem to have none of their own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Personally, I don't think teams need 3 alternate helmets and 5 alternate uniforms for a 17-game season. But young fans like them and it's revenue for the NFL. I get it. Just don't want to see it evolve into what's happened in the NBA, where teams pick colors and styles out of a hat and you can't even recognize them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
