It means the helmet belongs to whoever wears no. 31 jersey. Every player has their jersey no. on their helmet. The helmet is made to fit that player only so it garantees the helmet will fit
The Patriots wore their silver helmets.
because they think that the helmets look nice andit matches the symbol that they have
silver red and blue
The Patriots did wear the 21 on their helmets in the 2007 season. They wore it for a single game. See the links below. They will take you to pics of players with the 21 on their helmet. The Patriots also wore the number 91 as a tribute to their fallen teammate Marquis Hill, who died saving someone else from drowning. So I guess the better question is why didn't the other 31 teams in the league wear an 91 sticker on their helmet?
The Patriots instead choose to wear the number 91 on the back of their helmets in remeberance of their fallen teammate Marquise Hill, who died over the summer of 2007 in a boating accident.
It is in memory of Mr. Krafts' wife Myra Hiatt Kraft who passed away from cancer in July 2011.
The Patriots changed the helmet logo in 1992. They went from Pat Patriot to the current Flying Elvis logo.
Marquise Hill from the Patriots died, it's in remembrence.
