Eagles Alternate Pocket Helmet Drop

The latest limited edition drop is the Eagles black alternate. The first year this helmet was worn was in 2022, suggesting Riddell may go back a little history with the alternates.

For those counting, this is the 16th limited edition helmet. A list of the limited edition – along with all factory speed helmets – is here. Eight of the limited editions have been throwbacks and eight alternates. As Riddell noted earlier, they plan to release 25 in 2025. Get ready to open the pocketbook 🙂

All of the factory Eagle pocket helmets are in the picture below (with the exception of the new drop from today, of course). The Eagle factory helmets are fairly comprehensive, with a few gaps (1969 “alternate” and various iterations of green throughout the 70s). Two alternates were worn in 2007 and 1994. These are custom helmets, not factory.

Riddell has a lot of places to go in terms of alternates in 2025 for its Limited Edition series. By my count, there are 18 recent alternates alone.

• Browns 2022 white
• Broncos 2016-23 midnight blue; and 2023 and 2024 whites (3 total)
• Cardinals 2023 black
• Chargers alternates (2)
• Colts 2022 black
• Commanders 2022 black
• Jaguars 2024 white
• Jets 2022-23 black, 2024 black, 2015-18 white
• Lions 2023 honolulu blue
• Texans 2022-23 battle red; 2024 battle red and stell blue (3 total)
• Vikings 2024 white

There could be an opportunity for team sets, like Riddell used to do in the old days. For example, the three Jets alternates could include 2024 throwback. Or the three Broncos alternates with a throwback. It should be a fun year!!
