"It’s always been strange, then, that of all the rules to strictly enforce, the NFL has banned teams from wearing different helmets during a season. It was a rule instituted in 2013, aimed at limiting risk for concussions by banning players from wearing a helmet that is not broken in."

Cool, thanks. I wouldn't think a brand new helmet would be less safe, though -- weird.

The Cincinnati Bengals have had a very interesting history when it comes to their uniforms. The team started out with some fairly basic uniforms that were obviously inspired by the look that the Cleveland Browns had. It was an understandable move since the team was founded by Browns co-founder Paul Brown and the similarities were quite obvious — the shade of orange that the Bengals used was the exact same shade of orange that the Browns used for their visual identity. Aside from the fact that Cincinnati’s helmet had “BENGALS” on the side of the shells and Cleveland’s helmet had that iconic stripe pattern going down the middle of the shell

A lot of Eagles fans want the team to go back to the kelly green permanently.

Apparently Jeff Lurie would like to as well. It was his ex-wife who decided to update the look with midnight green instead of kelly green.
