    The league now allows teams to have home and away Helmets.

    The Panthers are the latest team to take advantage of the NFL’s new stance on alternate helmets. The Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots are other teams that announced alternate helmets for the upcoming season.

    The NFL changed the rule last summer and now every team is allowed to have an alternate helmet.

    That means the Bengals will be allowed to create a white tiger helmet to go with their new white uniforms.


    Will we be seeing the Steelers roll out new Gold helmets to go with their white uniforms?

    I'd rather see the Steelers go matte with their color rush.

    I liked the novelty of the yellow helmets with the throwback uniform because it allowed the team to be not so stuffy and unchanging. I think the rule will work well for Tampa and the Creamsicle throwbacks or the Texans with the red helmet.

    What I'd like to really see is a return to some of the more intimidating face masks. Greg Lloyd's added to the mystique almost as much as when Harrison had to have the visor because he was poked in the eye. Just adds to the legend.

    Pretty good looking helmet if you ask me. I hope they bring the same success as the Bumble Bee Uni's. The Steelers seem to play at a higher level while wearing those for some reason. Could be they mostly played in Prime Time while wearing those though.

    Does anyone know how much a NFL helmet costs? Does the painting of the helmet take place in house or is that part of the order?

    Yes. Dan Patrick said one of those teams listed would only use them 2x this year. So ifk how that fits into home and away, but if you could use it on a couple of special occasions ..like hall of honor game it would be cool

    FYI. Teams have until July 31st to notify the NFL if they are going to use an alternate helmet in 2022.

    Marketing.
    Instead of buying a home and away jersey, now its home, away, and a different alternate every few years.
    The quest for more money never stops.

    I didn't see where the Steelers had notified the NFL by July 31st that they would be using an alternate helmet this year, so I am guessing not.
