Like yont said they all wear different stuff. The helmets like G. Jones and D. Moore wear are Schutt DNAs while the ones like EB and Hardesty wear are either Adams or Riddell.

I actually think its Adams that makes them.

One or two players wear the Adams helmet. Most wear the Schutt or Riddell.

Each player is allowed to pick which helmet they want to wear. The days of a school forcing a kid to wear any one brand of helmet, are over because of liability issues. If a serious head or neck injury happens, the school can not be held liable if the kid got to pick his own helmet. The school is only responsible for keeping them certified as safe.
The same goes for the pros. Riddell is the "official" helmet of the NFL and each team gets an incentive for having a certain percentage of the players wearing Riddell. But, the teams do not force any player to wear the Riddell for the same reason that I stated above.

I believe Russell Athletic owns Schutt which used to be Bike. Not many kids wear Adams, their market is youth football.

Russell does not own Schutt. They do own Bike, but Bike got out of the helmet business when they first sold the "Air" helmet to Schutt. Bike got back in a few years ago, but then sold that mold to Adams which they still use.
Clear as mud?

Do the team's helmets have the air bladders in them? I was at the Titans game yesterday, and before the game the trainers were using a small air bulb to pump up the players helmets during warmups.

Most do now days. Riddell and Schutt both use air bladders for fit and comfort. The air is not for protection. The helmets have to pass the tests with no air in the bladders.

Has anyone noticed that some of the helmets are off white?
