NFL to allow alternate-color helmets for 2022; will Packers consider them for new throwbacks?

Sometime this summer, the Green Bay Packers will release a new alternate uniform set that they will begin wearing during the 2021 season. However, a new change by the NFL would give the team some more options to get creative with that uniform’s design — but only starting next season in 2022.

In a memo to teams obtained by Pro Football Talk, the NFL has informed teams that they may resume wearing helmets of two different colors in 2022. This changes a rule the league put into place for the 2014 season, when it decreed that players could only wear a single helmet all season for player safety purposes.
