NFL to celebrate league's international diversity with helmet initiative in Weeks 4, 5
The National Football League (NFL), in partnership with over 200 players, coaches and executives, will celebrate the growing number of nationalities and cultures that make up the fabric of the League with an initiative that will see players take the field with international flags on their helmets.
Players across the league will proudly wear a helmet decal of the country or territory's flag that represents their nationality or cultural heritage across Weeks 4 and 5.
In the player-led initiative that looks to showcase the global influence on the League and recognize the impact that those contributing nations across the world have had on NFL rosters today, fans will see over 50 nations and territories represented.
Players can choose to wear, alongside the American flag, the flag of an international country or territory if they lived there for two years or more, or have a parent or grandparent who were born there
Coaches and executives across the League, including the Spanos Family (Los Angeles Chargers -- Greece), Bill Belichick (New England Patriots -- Croatia) and Paraag Marathe (San Francisco 49ers -- India), will also mark their connections to countries across the world, wearing pins displaying their flag of choice on game day.
"The NFL is proud of the extensive collection of nationalities and heritage of its players across the League," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "We recognize the many cultures they represent and the excitement they bring to their home fans, which ultimately helps grow our game."

I’m a Jets fan, had no idea Berrios was my compatriot.
There are Chinese nikkas in the NFL?
