Not only is the one helmet rule super dumb, but did no one think they could just put bigger stickers over the helmet to change the color?

A decal that big would hide helmet damage.

Really they should just get rid of the one helmet rule, which I'm pretty sure is a legal CYA thing rather than a decision based on real medical information. But if I were the NFL's lawyer, I'd want them to keep the rule even if it's based on pseudoscience. A jury might hear "they made me change my helmet for this game" and believe that change means something scientifically.

The helmet rule is irrelevant

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Why would the NFL allow a permanent change to the old uniforms?

So they can sell throwback jerseys to the Midnight Green era?  lol

Basically anyone born after 1990 only knows the zesty green

We're sitting ducks, lapping up whatever they brand either way.

If I were Lurie, I wouldn't be satisfied just to track jersey sales.  I would know roughly (and probably thanks to cameras and clever software, pretty closely) how many fans attend games wearing a jersey.  I'd know which colors are most popular.  I'd know which numbers were most popular.    The information is just sitting there for me to collect.

All teams probably know this.

im sure they do but while the jerseys get the most attention because that's obviously what the teams wear during games its waaaaaay bigger than that....everything from keychains to beer mugs to skullys to dog bowls will be Kelly green

you can get a Kelly green jersey anytime you want....you can even get them custom made with a new player on the back if you really want

you know what id kill for that you cant get?....a Kelly green license plate frame...shtein like that would bring in more money than the jerseys

They won a SB in the midnight green...they'll never go back. Lurie used to say the Kelly green represented a losing team.

Midnight green went away when Nike couldn't make that color jersey. They won a SB in teal.

id like to see the quote if that's lurie...im pretty sure that was his ex and I don't even think it was a direct quote I think it was people saying off the record that that's what she believed

the reason they wont change is because theyd have to change the color scheme of the whole stadium including the seats....which they aren't going to pay for just to switch a jersey...honestly I get that....the dumb thing is the nfl rule that requires it

All I remember him saying when he changed it is he didn't want to look like the Jets, who I guess thought it was a good idea and switched to their darker jerseys too.
