Its just hinting at change, nothing specific other than to fool those who are easily swayed and see what they want to see. Given how many different helmets, from different manufacturers and how many are in the video, they arent even the Jets helmets. BTW, the lonely equipment managers of the NFL, theyre the ones who put the decals on the team helmets. Forget the stupid teaser the Jets released this week. I'm not talking about that other than it is the second confirmation that the Jets 2018 helmets were stripped of accessories, tagged, and sent back to the original manufacturers. Watch this video of the Riddell reconditioning process. The helmets are stripped down but the padding is left in place and the helmets are re-sprayed on the outside of the shell only and they are re-sprayed the same color. This is what I am talking about as the evidence that we are staying with white helmets. If we were getting a new color, we don't get them reconditioned. We just get new helmets. Am I 100% certain? Of course not. But if you add up the evidence that we are staying with white it far outweighs the feeble anecdotal wishes of a few who think we are going to a different color with no evidence at all, only emotions. There is real and legitimate evidence of staying with white if you look at how few teams have changed away from their original base color in the last 29 years, what people who have seen the uniform have leaked, and how the Jets are going through the standard reconditioning process with Riddell and the other helmet manufacturers.

Ever. On one hand you tell us how cheap comparatively the helmets are on the other that they save a couple of bucks reusing helmets. Then the ridiculous idea that a key piece of safety, in which the technology is constantly being tweaked and improved that they would reuse helmets, would reconditioned as opposed to replaced with new and improved, safer models. All to push the idea that the helmet is white. LOL The chalk pick is white, best odds of what will be. Run with that and you'll probably get to pat yourself on the back if it works out that way.

The helmets are reconditioned yearly because they are already broken-in and fit better than new ones and fitment is the most important element of modern helmet design. The helmet that Sam Darnold wore last year that fits him like a glove gets sent back to the manufacturer for testing and if it passes testing it's good for another year. If it needs a single pad or a snap replaced, it's replaced. If it needs refinishing to get the scuffs out its given an exterior spray. If it needs new decals because of a brand redesign its given new decals. In high school where budgets are tight I'm sure senior F. Smith's helmet is reconditioned and given to incoming freshman K. Johnson. But in the NFL, S. Darnold's helmet is reconditioned and given right back to S. Darnold because a well-fitting broken-in helmet is safer, perhaps only slightly but still safer, than a brand new one. That is the entire philosophy on the NFL's decision to stop the practice of helmet swapping in-season, it makes perfect sense that they recommend this in a year-over-year fashion as well.

You can't seriously believe that a new helmet for player X can't be issued and made to fit the same again. What if player X shaves his head, or grows his hair?

The only thing we disagree on is I’d be okay with green helmets, even black ones with the grey and green unis. I just don’t think the white would work as well if that’s where we go. As far as the 5 team thing, the only ones I can think of off the top of my head happened years ago, of course the Jets, Seahawks, Bills, Rams and when the Bucs did away with their creamsicle look. Which I loved, btw. ? Jets, Seahawks, Bills, Rams and when the Bucs - Chargers, Titans, Jaguars (half change) those are the only teams I can think of off the top of my head.

Chrebetfan80 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 5 hours ago, SAR I said: They wouldn't recondition the helmets if they were changing the color. They'd just buy new helmets. To a $3 billion dollar corporation the helmets are dirt cheap. If the color stays the same, hey why not, go the extra mile for safety and have 'em checked out for safety. But even if you don't buy the "recondition for extra safety" argument, there is another great reason to send them back to the manufacturer: Someone has to install all those decals to Nike spec and you might as well leave it to the experts and not our lonely equipment manager and his staff of one. Send them back, quick safety check, polish up the white gloss, install the decals. It feels like that's what's happening. Otherwise, they'd just ditch the old stuff and buy brand new gear for everyone, nothing gets shipped back to Riddell and the other suppliers. SAR I except for the fact that the nfl stresses helmet continuity, so it would infact be safer for the players to have the helmets reconditioned and painted the new color rather than buy new helmets. I coach, and know at least a little about this process and the research since we get the information constantly. At the college level players keep their helmet for 4 years, its reconditioned after every season in the process shown in the video, reps have even come from Riddell and Schutt to explain the process to us, and it does involve completely repainting the helmets. At the high school level the helmets go through the same exact process, Sanded down to remove all scuffs then repainted. I stress that they absolutely HAVE TO repaint the helmet because the sanding process is done to take out any scratches or divets put into the helmet due to contact. During the season at the pro level helmets are simply buffed by equipment managers to look shiny and new on sundays, but not repaired like they are at the company. Again, you may be right, they may be white.. but as people have been saying, simply going in for reconditioning means nothing in terms of helmet color. They are just as likely to be painted grey green or black as they are to be painted white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayzor Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 My final opinion on the helmets after re thinking it. If we assume that the helmets they showed being shipped back to Riddell are being refurbished, then they will probably be white. I don't believe they would paint a different color on a helmet whose base color is white. Meaning the plastic or polycarbonate is white. If the helmets were shipped back as a possible trade-in, then we will have an all new helmet with any color possible. An all new helmet would be more in-line with the quotes from the new uni's video. "Next Generation", "Bold Dramatic Change", "Creating Something New". "Modern Jets Brand", "Forward Thinking" and "Can't remember the Jets making a change anything like this".
