Nobody knows. Probably just BS to use in concussion cases in court. I don’t think there’s any reason to believe it makes a difference.But why?

It’s bizarre because other teams have no problem with their retro helmets.Nobody knows. Probably just BS to use in concussion cases in court. I don’t think there’s any reason to believe it makes a difference.
They replace the decals on the helmets. I’d imagine that’s what the Patriots are doing with these ones with the original coloring of flying Elvis.It’s bizarre because other teams have no problem with their retro helmets.
No, it was owner Orthwein who came up with the new colors and logo in 1993. With Tuna aboard he smartly wanted a clean break with the (losing) past. Then when Kraft bought the team he stuck with the same basic look making modifications.Apparently Patriots wanted to do Pat Patriot but league said no.
Not sure how reliable this guy is but Pats Twitter is freaking out and seems to trust him...
I mean this season, they couldn’t get approval so they are going 90’s.No, it was owner Orthwein who came up with the new colors and logo in 1993.

Fine by me. The team always has looked slower in red and white.I mean this season, they couldn’t get approval so they are going 90’s.
Didn't I read somewhere that the NFL made the Patriots throwback uniform harder to do with the strict helmet rules? The Dolphins wore their throwback uniforms with their regular (current) uniform helmets. If the Patriots didn't have such different helmets, they would probably wear the throwbacks more often.

I think it's considered a legit safety issue because everyone on the team would have to be fit with new helmets they're not used to just for one game. Other teams just change the logos.It’s bizarre because other teams have no problem with their retro helmets.
Pat the Patriot was an absolutely awful logo, too big, awkward to fit on a helmet, way too detailed, and not helped by the fact that the team insisted on wearing white helmets which combined with pat's white trousers to make the image unrecognizable at ordinary football distancesOf course I'm talking about Pat the Patriot era
dude, charge your phoneLooks like Pats Pro Shop hinted this a couple of weeks ago
Dallas traditionally hosts. Also, New England (at least Massachusetts) has a tradition of high school football games played on Thanksgiving.why wouldn't the NFL schedule NE-Dal on T-giving? The birthplace of the holiday.

At any kind of distance, if you didn't know it was Pat on the helmet already, you couldn't tell by looking at it. And this was in an era where TVs were not exactly HD. As a result the team looked really nondescript on TV. When you have to rely on context clues to figure out what you're looking at from a front row seat distance, the team needs a better logo
From the standpoint of being able to tell from ordinary football watching distances what that logo actually was, even the much ballyhooed Tampa Bay Buccaneer logo was superior
I know there's a few fans still not entirely happy with Flying Elvis, but at least you can recognize what that is from a distance of greater than 10 yards

Why not alternate silver pants on the road?
What is the problem with the “Pat Patriot” helmets?
You are doing life wrong If you hate the Pat the Patriot logo. Saying that is sacrilege.
