Watching the miserable Thursday night game between the Bears and the Cowboys and the former is wearing throwback helmets. Why doesn't our organization do this with our all whites or blue/white combo?
I suppose we could, but what would be the point? If we can’t have the silver helmets, it’s never going to feel like a true throwback.falcongoggles":2c6w6b7d said:So why can't we swap decals and facemasks?

I know that your point has been brought up before on one of the many uniform threads. It would be a way to get around the league’s strict helmet rule for sure. Has any team done this though? I.e. keep the same helmet and change the overall color (not just the decal)? Hey, I’d be all for the Hawks giving this a try.falcongoggles":279dbxmu said:James in PA":279dbxmu said:I suppose we could, but what would be the point?

You can easily wrap the whole helmet and then add the decals over it. My fighter squadron wraps our helmet in a matte black base and then overlays yellow teeth up the sides with the F-16 decal on the back. They are durable and fully cover the grey standard helmet underneath.

We also have to wait ten years for a uniform change. Has it been ten years?
We would also have to change to a silver helmet. Not sure how that would look with the blues that we voted for.

Or, and hear me out here, we could erase the stigma of being "bad" during those mediocre years by playing in them and whipping everyone's ass.
Every other team in the league seems to be able to do throwbacks no problem at all, but somehow "rules" and "safety" and other stuff gets thrown around whenever the Seahawks are mentioned doing it.

Doesn't Dallas wear the white throwback helmets every so often?
There's your answer. Rules apply to every team except the beloved cowgirls
