  • I agree. I think it looks good because it doesn't look a whole lot different than what we have worn for a long time.

  • Matte, shiny, whatever.

    But I think the brown facemask is functional - white reflects light, the dark brown

    absorbs light.

    Just wonderin...

  • We knew the mask was going to be Brown. Our new logo is a picture of the helmet. That is what the helmet is going to look like.

  • They kept the traditional look which I am happy about.

  • This is not the new helmet.

    NFL and Ridell ended their partnership last year. This is just an old helmet with a matte finish and a new face mask.

  • I like the matte.....and I like the dark grill......and, hey, I also liked the metallic coppery look on some other helmets we saw......

    So, I guess Im easy.....

  • That helmet looks like somebody (maybe Walter himself) who owns a helmet, took it into their garage and spray painted it...

    not really....Riddell just isnt allowed to brand the helmets anymore.....

    players can wear whatever brand or style of helmet they choose, but Riddell was the only one with branding rights....

    Now, it all stays the same, but no one has branding rights...

    basically, due to all the concussion issues, the NFL has decided not to endorse ANY helmets....leaving themselves out of the 'law suit' equation and making it between the player and the helmet manufacturer of his choice.....

    So? Who is now making NFL helmets?

  • Much a do about nothing

  • Here's the new helmet:

    It is a brighter orange with a brown facemask.

    It was announced in February.

    wow. I really don't know what to say about that. I get such douchechills off that organization. They're lucky their sport is so much fun to watch or we'd be over these fuckers a long time ago.

    Anybody the player wants.

    If I was the NFL, I would allow branding as long as it fell in to font standards and let the players collect whatever royality they could. Much like NASCAR allows branding or the PGA tour does with clubs and balls, such as Tilelist.

    Again, this would be the helmet only and it would have to be the standard logo as it has been....be it Adams, Schutt, Ridell, Wilson, etc.

    I saw a study that says the helmet has little to do with concussions. In the NFL collisions cause the brain, which is surrounded by fluid, to hit the skull

    thereby causing a concussion.

    Would rather be The Ohio State Buckeyes of the NFL.

  • that would be worst case scenario

    The purpose of the helmet is to prevent skull fractures. Period.

    Concussions are a result of physics, which no helmet design can overcome.
