  • Several NFL teams are getting new uniforms and helmets for the 2022 season, while others are making changes to current sets.

  • In a big change, the NFL dropped its one-helmet rule, prompting many teams to add an alternate helmet this year, with more sure to come.

  • Dropping the helmet rule also means we will see several popular throwback uniforms for the first time in many years.

  • The most popular change is the addition of a black helmet, as six teams have adopted this season.

  • Below we take a look at all the changes we have seen so far. If your favorite team has a change we haven't added yet, please contact us at cgaines@insider.com.
