NFL Allows Teams to Use 3rd Alternate Helmet Design After Uniform Policy Rule Change

There could be some new NFL helmets in play in the near future.

Coral Smith of NFL.com reported Wednesday the league expanded its uniform policy and will allow teams to feature a third helmet if they meet various criteria. This comes after the NFL adjusted its uniform policy in 2021 to grant teams the ability to add a second helmet for the 2022 campaign.

According to Smith, any team going through a redesign process for the upcoming season will have a third helmet option. The league's other teams will have the option for the 2025 season as long as they inform the league of their plans by May 1 of this year.
