Mile High Morning: Alternate helmets approved to return to NFL starting in 2022
Ben Swanson
Since 2013, the NFL has permitted teams to have only a single helmet set. That's why, when the Broncos put their retro D logo on their helmets for Color Rush games, the team had to do it on navy instead of the traditional royal blue. Some teams, like the Packers and Steelers, have been able to continue on as usual because their old helmets had the same primary color as their current set, but many franchises — like the Broncos, who had not worn navy helmets in any previous look — were not. That could change soon. The NFL sent a memo on Thursday announcing that teams may have two different helmet sets as soon as the 2022 season.
I would love to see the old Denver D helmets return for throwback games.
