The NFL has approved the use of alternate helmets with throwback uniforms starting in the 2022 season. Alternate helmets will only be able to be worn with throwback, alternate or color rush jerseys and players will have to be fit for their standard helmet and their alternate one. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy tweeted that teams must tell the league of their 2022 helmet plans by July 31st of this year. The use of second helmets ended in 2013 due to safety concerns, but those concerns have eased in recent years.
