Black helmets plz!!!

Not possible. NFL rules state you can't switch helmets during the season in order to limit concussion risk because the fear is that in changing them some players may not get a helmet that fits as well as the they wear on a regular basis. It's probably overly cautious but the NFL really can't be too careful with the concussion stuff since it threatens the existence of the game of football.

This seems like one of those things that sounds true because it somewhat makes sense, but isn't why things are the way they are...

Which is absurd because helmets have little impact on the occurrence concussions, nor are they designed to.

I believe, though I'm not 100% on it, that it has been shown that a properly fitting helmet lessens the risk of a concussion more so than a helmet that does not fit properly. Basically if it doesn't fit snugly then that is an extra collision your head can make when hit violently.
