Ranking new alternate helmets: Cowboys bring back classic look, Bengals' white tiger instant hit
CBSN
The NFL has 11 new alternate helmets in 2022 so far ... which ones are the best?
One of the best decisions the NFL made over the last few years was the elimination of the "one-shell rule," allowing teams to wear an alternate helmet for the 2022 season and beyond. The alternate helmet has paved the way for teams to return to classic throwback uniforms and attempt unique alternate uniform combinations this season.
Teams have definitely taken advantage of the alternate helmet, as 11 have already revealed a new helmet for 2022 -- and potentially up to 15 teams are going to have a second helmet this year (per Uni Watch). Of the 11 teams, four will be bringing back throwback helmets to wear with their throwback jerseys while the other seven have revealed alternate color helmets to pair with their current alternate uniform sets.
More throwbacks will be coming for 2023, as the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be bringing back their Kelly green and orange creamsicle uniforms, respectively. The entire league could have alternate helmets by the 2023 season, but let's rank the ones that have been revealed thus far.
