The 2013 season will be the last to feature Riddell as the official helmet of the NFL, a league spokesman and the company confirmed Thursday night.

But during the past few years, as the league became increasingly focused on concussions, NFL officials were more concerned about the implication of selling exclusive branding rights to one helmet company over another. At an NFL-sponsored youth Play 60 event last year in New York City, the league had a variety of helmet manufacturers displaying their products to children and parents.

The deal was ending anyway, it just won't be renewed. Riddell makes one of the only 5* rated helmets in the Revo Speed.

Liability protection issue going forward. Sue the helmet manufacturer you choose for your dome instead of suing the NFL for endorsing and mandating the one helmet.
