Stupid.

There goes throwbacks around the league.

Darn, huge lost.

Packers just announced they're going to use plain, decal-less yellow helmets with their throwbacks.

Pat Patriot will have to be on a silver helmet if NE wants to use him. That is going to look stupid.

No Rams throwback helmet now.


Where did this rule come from? Seriously...because a player wears a second helmet, they're more prone to get a head injury? They measure heads and they can be broken in during practice if it's really a concern.


This concussion fear is getting over-the-top. Yes, concussions are real and they are serious...but the ways they're trying to prevent them like the new kickoff rule with more kicks going into the end zone and now restrictions on uniforms that fans love to see...what are they thinking?


Brandon Meriweather is more likely to cause a concussion than a Bucs player wearing a white helmet instead of a pewter one...deal with him.

This will likely be changed by next year after someone somewhere with authority in the nfl realizes this is stupid. I'm not too worried about it.
