@@oscarorozco7368 But they also give an advantage to the player. Especially offense. One of the things my linebacker couch tried to teach us was to read the quarterback's eyes to know where the ball is going.

But we had guys that could.
Most of these rules are fueled by the NFL's greed, but jewelry ... I've played several different sportsover my lifetime and have never seen a single one that allowed watches, rings, earrings, necklaces, any kind of jewelry at all. Usually because it's a potential injury to themselves or others. Getting scraped by someone's watch or having an earing ripped out ... ouch.
@ICDUMPEPLcan be regarded as pretty discriminatory although Ive wondered that also. There was recently a hockey player in Europe that died during an in game freak accident and now they are mandating neck guards. Sometimes it takes something terrible to happen. Hopefully not tho

@@rustleup-tf2jt you might get fined, but now the world knows you are FINE. sexy men always get endorsements. that 10k fine turned into 300k over 3 years contract from insert company.
I do believe that a large part of this comes down to limiting player empowerment. By not allowing for individuality in their gear, the players become much less distringuishable from their peers and it become harder for them to stand out, making them seem more interchangeable and less valuable as individual contributors in the scope of team success. This leads to less bargaining power and leverage in contract negotations over time.
Has exactly zero to do with these rules. It's a team game and allowing a competition for fashion attention would take away from the game. The NFL has built an impressive product due to its focus on such details.
"The league won't allow tinted visors because medical personel have to check the eyes in case there's a concussion... The league gets a lot of heat for not letting players costumise their equipment but most of them is for players safety.

Tua has more narratives than fucking CNN and Fox. Can Tua stay healthy? Yea Can Tua throw? Yes Can Tua throw LONG? Yes Can Tua throw Longer? Yes Can Tua get hit without concussions? Yes
Deion’s bandana under the helmet had nothing to do with style. It was about comfort. Some players find the padding and buttons underneath uncomfortable.
Not disagreeing with you. I believe that the reason why they did it was because of potential players rocking "gang colors" if they wore a blue or red one. Which is why they allowed the skull caps.
If an accessory is not visible while the player is in full uniform, it should be allowed. It's literally not affecting gameplay in any way, shape or form. Banning bandanas just gave further evidence that league officials were on a power trip.
As long as it's not visible on the sidelines or during warmups that might fly, but if it shows up any time the player is "on stage" it becomes a problem. Put whatever you want on your jockstrap and no one will care.

No one should be even considering a 10 year old helmet. The professional organization that certifies helmets for other sports doesn't recommend using equipment from a certification from over 10 years ago.

I don't care what color cleats a player wears. It doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game. However, think of the word "uniform", and it's definition. Many people must follow rules concerning dress at work. Players are paid a lot of money to play a game. They don't like not being able to do whatever they want. How important is this really? It all seems petty and silly to me.
It is mainly about branding and image, which can be worth a lot of money. Like how top NBA players can earn more money though ads and brands the own/ have a stake in. The NFL doing this rules are half about safety and half making players more dependent on the NFL for income and make them more docile.
Exactly, players want money and attention, but they have to realize they are on The NFLs stage and the players are puppets, and for one they need to be more professional about the term uniform...
I'm not sure if there is still a policy in place for the colour of cleats any more. Recently A J Brown of the Eagles switched to pink cleats and the announcers claimed he was wearing them so that his daughter could find him on the field. Perhaps they were lying and telling a feel good story.
Football players are still only employees. The NFL and the teams are companies with owners that have assumed the risk. Players have to respect. Shit is getting out of hand.
I remember way back in the day player use to use double sided sticky tape to tape their jerseys to their pads & lightly spray Pam on their jerseys . See their jerseys are made of polyester which is already slippery it just made it harder to hold on to & the sticky tape would make it so the jersey couldn’t be ripped from the pads making it harder to grab , smart ideal , even their pants are polyester so imagine the possibility at that time .
THE COMMISIONER OF THE NFL AND HIS COMPADRES, NEED TO GET A FREAKING LIFE. THEY ACT LIKE GRUMPY, CONSTIPATED OLD MEN. THEY NEED TO CHILL OUT AND LET THE PLAYERS WEAR WHAT THEY WNAT, AS LONG AS IT IS NOT VULGER, RACIST, OR POLITICAL.

They are all under contract which means they are obligated to follow these rules. If they want these rules followed then they need to raise the fines. These guys are making millions. Their fine should be 50% their salary minimum
Commenters don't realize that not allowing other brands adorn their players increases the advertising value of the NFL which in tern translates to higher salaries for the players. Allowing brands to be advertised "for free" by a player indirectly stifles the value of the league in the eyes of potential advertisers.

All these rules are in the contract players sign. They are paid millions. Every single one of these rules, makes perfect sense. Just because you get away with it for a while, doesn’t make it acceptable. Just because your accessory sends a nice message, doesn’t mean it’s not against the rules. The fact there are so many people breaking these rules, intentionally, and for their own momentary gain, tells you exactly why the rules exist. Imagine how out of control this would get if the NFL just allowed players to do what they want? With all these rules and fines, there are athletes constantly trying to get away with breaking them. It would be out of control so fast and the game would quickly turn into players trying to “one-up” each other, or prioritizing “There brand,” whenever possible.
If you watch the 85 Bears Super Bowl Jim McMahon had issues with the league doing the same. If they allow one then many will be asking so they say no to all.
Some of these are ok to ban like watches and competing companies. But not allowing custom cleats from partnered companies is bullshit. OBJ trying to wear Joker cleats was fire and they banned it. But them not allowing Williams to wear pink cleats or eye black is just monstrous. Cleats being different colors won't make someone think that they are on a different team.
Nobody would bat an eye if a movie studio told a film actor that they couldn't do their own product placement. No one would criticize a Broadway produce for telling a stage actor that they can't modify their costume. Yet one type of entertainer believes they are entitled to "express themselves" while performing.
The DeAngelo Williams situation is so awful, the fact that they would not let a player who lost many loved ones wear some simple eye black to commemorate them is baffling. Shame on the league for that.

i was also wondering if the NFL would be so quick to ban that if it was promoting some "imaginary gender pride" or other identity politics nonsense
OBJ just don’t give a fuck 😂
the nfl is stupid for being strict on everything for wearing something
All these rules are in the contract players sign. They are paid millions. Every single one of these rules, makes perfect sense. Just because you get away with it for a while, doesn’t make it acceptable. Just because your accessory sends a nice message, doesn’t mean it’s not against the rules. The fact there are so many people breaking these rules, intentionally, and for their own momentary gain, tells you exactly why the rules exist. Imagine how out of control this would get if the NFL just allowed players to do what they want? With all these rules and fines, there are athletes constantly trying to get away with breaking them. It would be out of control so fast and the game would quickly turn into players trying to “one-up” each other, or prioritizing “There brand,” whenever possible.

they should rename this "Things OBJ Wore For Attention"
frick the nfl for fining him for having face paint that honors his mom
If you watch the 85 Bears Super Bowl Jim McMahon had issues with the league doing the same. If they allow one then many will be asking so they say no to all.
Unless you wear BLM or anti-America gear, then you can wear those in whatever format you like and as bold as you like.

Wish head injury’s weren’t emphasized as much as they are now. Made nfl soft
Jaylen Brown your next video Nonstop Sports 💪💪💪
The NFL needs to see this
I'll get on board with breast cancer awareness when prostate cancer awareness gets equal coverage.
Some of these are ok to ban like watches and competing companies. But not allowing custom cleats from partnered companies is bullshit. OBJ trying to wear Joker cleats was fire and they banned it. But them not allowing Williams to wear pink cleats or eye black is just monstrous. Cleats being different colors won't make someone think that they are on a different team.
Not allowing watches is common sense. Imagine tackling someone and getting your finger caught and it twists and snaps.
Nobody would bat an eye if a movie studio told a film actor that they couldn't do their own product placement. No one would criticize a Broadway produce for telling a stage actor that they can't modify their costume. Yet one type of entertainer believes they are entitled to "express themselves" while performing.
