I thought you had to wear the same helmet the whole year?

Isn't that the reason we no longer can wear our throwbacks on Thanksgiving? Sure looks like the Rams are wearing their throwback helmets! Rule change?

It's probably the same helmet. Just swapped the gold horns for the throwback yellow ones.

You're probably right!

I have two Thanksgiving jerseys and a few double star ones. I for one like the fact that once a year we switch it up and wear the throwbacks. They also seem to be pretty popular since I know a lot of people who buy the Thanksgiving ones. Why exactly can't they just paint the helmets and then paint them back? Stupid....

No. I don't believe one has anything to do with the other. From last year:

Cowboys To Wear Blue Jerseys At Home Thursday
Posted Nov 26, 2013

IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys won’t be wearing a traditional throwback jersey for Thanksgiving this year.

But it still won’t look like any normal home game at AT&T Stadium.

For the first time since the Cotton Bowl days, the Cowboys will wear their regular blue jersey at home in Thursday’s game with the Raiders.

In compliance with NFL rules, teams are not allowed to wear an alternate helmet because of the league’s enhanced awareness on concussions. So the throwback jerseys with the white helmets as we’ve seen in recent years was not an option for the Cowboys.

However, sticking with the Thanksgiving Day theme of wearing a different look, the Cowboys have decided to wear their blue jerseys for this game. Oakland, of course, will wear its regular white away uniform.

Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones, who is also on the NFL’s Competition Committee, said the league is being proactive with this stance, but it doesn’t mean the throwback or alternative uniforms are gone forever.

I'm confused, what am I missing here?
