Why Aaron Rodgers will look different if he decides to return to NFL for 2025 season
Apr 14, 2025

The future Hall of Fame QB will be sporting a new look

If he decides to continue playing in 2025, a new uniform won't be the only change Aaron Rodgers will undergo. The future Pro Hall of Fame quarterback will also need a new helmet after his current one was recently banned from future use.
The NFLrecently banned seven helmets from being used moving forward, including Rodgers' helmet, the Schutt Air XP Pro Q11 LTD. The NFL continues to evaluate which helmets are most safe for players as they look to continue to decrease the amount of concussions suffered each season. The league recently announced that there were 17% fewer concussions in 2024 than in 2023.
While it is a change, don't expect Rodgers to fret over it. This won't be the first time he has had to change helmets during his career. In 2019, Rodgers had to make a helmet change after wearing the same model for nearly a decade.
"It's not difficult at all," Rodgers said at the time. "I've worn very similar helmets my entire career. I changed after [2010], when I had two concussions, to a safer one. I was wearing the one like Favrey (Brett Favre) was wearing for so long. That was a little outdated, probably, and then I think around that time when the CBA got signed, they had some better regulations about the safety quality of the helmets, and I've just kind of been up to date for years. Last year, my helmet -- because there's been such advancements in helmet safety -- my helmet was in the not-as-safe category, but anybody wearing that got one more year to find a new helmet. I knew coming in I was going to have to change."
