    Helmets are fitted and worn in by the players. A change of helmet will mean new fittings which won't break in as the others. So it increases the chances of helmets coming loose as well as concussions. So the NFL banned it.

    Stupid. But a lawyer move nonetheless

    Helmets are something that the owners have to pay for....and that Fans RARELY buy. No profit for the league to change helmets, so "lets make a rule and call it a safety issue".

    In a nutshell...They wont mandate the concussion resistance helmets...but they will regulate that they have to be the same "kind" of helmet throughout the season.

    Brilliant.

    Of course if they mandated a specific helmet, and then someone gets hurt with that helmet, it's a whole new lawsuit. Personally, I agree with Hines Ward. Take the helmets off. Take the pads off too.
