2022 Updates

The following have been confirmed as new helmets for 2022. The Commanders helmets are a permanent change. All others are alternates for at least one game. Only one factory pocket helmet has been confirmed (Commanders).

Riddell almost never manufactures alternate helmets or throwbacks in a contemporary style (speed, revolution, etc.). In fact, I think it’s only happened once with the factory 2007-11 Steelers helmet in the revolution style.

So it’s unlikely Riddell will make factory helmets of the alternates. A set of all the alternates and color rush helmets would be really nice!

Most recent update: 7/28/2022 — 10 alternates, 4 throwbacks
