No throwback helmets anymore?

If this is the case, I hope we don't do the throwback jerseys. The classic 80s uniform just wouldn't look right with the current helmets.

The league office told all teams planning to wear throwback uniforms this season that players must wear their regular helmets on throwback dates. The outside of the helmet can be modified by removing or replacing decals, but the helmet itself must stay the same. Once players have properly fitted helmets that they’re comfortable wearing, the NFL doesn’t want them changing helmets during the season just for appearances.

Yeah. Took me a few reads when this story came out to understand the issue. Though i kind of figured the players wore different physical helmets all the time.
Those things take quite a beating as it is and i assumed they were replaced a few times per season anyway.
