Not sure what the case for player safety is in only allowing them to have one helmet.
There isn't one. It's just the reason Goodell gave when he came up with the rule a few years ago. It's BS. There's another reason, but we'll likely never know what it is. Maybe he doesn't want teams going the NCAA route with entirely different uniforms every week. Maybe it costs a significant amount of $$$ to alter helmets. Or maybe he just hates the idea altogether, too gimicky... But then there's the color rush crap that's obviously a moneymaker...
Who knows??
