NFL: Bucs Can't Wear Throwback Helmets

What safety issue? give me an effin break. The NpussyFL is out of control with this shite.

damn that sucks i really like the old tampa bay uniforms

Amazingly, this is probably not the dumbest decision the NFL will make this calendar year.

If you read the link (and the link within the link), it says the reason is that, because of the difference between the pewter color of the normal helmets and the white of these, each player would have to wear a new helmet. The league apparently wants each player to wear the same exact helmet all year for concussion issues.

It's a bummer. Their dozens of fans will be disappointed.

Since when are hideous colors and a gay logo a "safety issue"?

I like the throwbacks every once in awhile but it's understandable why they can't wear them. I don't like the fancy pancy pirate though. I love the new flag logo.

Tis a fancy pirate. Aargh.

I can't think of one NFL team that their uniform got better when they made a change. Bucs-No, Broncos-No, Patriots-No, Dolphins-No. Wish they would just leave them as is and quit trying to make more merchandise money by making changes.

From the article: "It is believed that a different helmet than a player has worn all year, is of greater risk in leading to head trauma"

that's a new one to me. :dunno:
