This doesn't even sound right. I think someone's getting the rule confused, or they're posturing to get the league to pay for two (2!) helmet fittings per year. I don't even know who pays for all that stuff now. I assume it's the teams.
I guess if you take this to it's logical conclusion, we've also seen the end of in-season trades and FA signings, because the guy's ONE helmet is the wrong one now.
And having said all that, I'd be fine with throwbacks being...thrown back. Every few years is enough for me anyway.
And...they don't paint helmets anymore?
