I've heard of teams selling or donating equipment to smaller schools. (Several years ago U of I offered to donate equipment to Kirkwood so they could start a football program but they decided against it.) I've also heard you can lease helmets now and send them back each year for refurbishment and you might not get the same batch back that you sent in.
Just to clarify, they have to wear the same helmet design, not one single helmet. They can replace them as long as they are the same design. Just another dumb NFL rule.
Yeah design means color, logos etc. As helmets get used they can't require them to use the same one over and over if there is damage or fitment issues or any other issues. I believe this is just about their helmets looking the same all year, not allowing them to change looks. Yet I may be wrong, the NFL is completely stupid, one of the reasons I quit watching it this year. Also I don't know how they would enforce it if it was about wearing the exact same helmet? If it looks identical for the most part I don't know how they would monitor it being the same one. It would have to be a self reporting type thing.
I stand corrected. See another stupid NFL rule. I thought I originally read it was about changing looks. But I do remember something like this now that I read that. I suppose it doesn't apply if a helmet gets damaged etc. that is how they make it work.
All red uniforms with yellow helmets. I like ASU's below
I had heard that Campbell dumped those as soon as he took over. Possibly auctioned some off or donated them? But I thought I remember someone from CF tweeting about that last season.
