What is interesting about this drop is that it’s from a previous year. Most of the other “Limited Edition” helmets were from 2024. The other two being the Bears (2022-present) and Cowboys (2023-present).
This means Riddell is open to making speed alternates from before 2024. Pre-2024 helmets could include:
- Cardinals black alternate (2022)
- Bears three-orange striped (2019)
- Browns white alternate (2023)
- Broncos white 2023 and 2024 alternates
- Lions honolulu blue (2023)
- Colts black alternate (2023)
- Texans battle red alternate (2022)
- Eagles black alternate (2022)
- Commanders black alternate (2022).
For 2024, non-factory alternates that Riddell has not manufactured are:
- Broncos white
- Jaguars white
- Jets black
- Texans steel blue
- Texans red
- Vikings white
Who will be next? The list above has 16 options. We know Riddell has already manufactured the Lions honolulu blue 2023 alternate, but just has not released it widely. Maybe Riddell will release all of them in due time? Or as a set?

This is quite a decent alternate. Nothing too fancy yet noticeably different. I’m not one for radical changes for the sake of it and usually adhere to the “less is more” approach

I agree! I like the variations that stay true to the original. The reversal of the black and gold and tapered stripe is nice.
