NFL to lift single-helmet rule in 2022; could NY Jets throwbacks return?

The NFL is about to embark on a whole new color rush.

Per a memo obtained by Pro Football Talk, the league is set to lift or adjust the rule that limits players to a single helmet per season. Such a rule change would take effect prior to the 2022 season.

Thus, alternate and throwback uniforms made incomplete or discontinued by the limitations put upon by the rule can make a return long-awaited by fans across the league.

The single helmet rule was established in 2013 in the name of player safety, as the league wanted players to partake in the season with one unadjusted headgear.
