Earlier this week, the Philadelphia Eagles proposed a rule change to the NFL that would allow all 32 teams to use an alternate helmet during the season.

The Eagles eventually withdrew the proposal, but that didn’t keep people from getting riled up about the possibilities of what the team could do with an alternate helmet.
Brandon Lee Gowton of Bleeding Green Nation had a particularly interesting take on the matter.
