  • 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...

    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.

    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.....

    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.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    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.

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

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

    I can't imagine that some helmet design wouldn't at least make a difference?

    I swear this AM I first read this thread title as "Tweets and Speculation about Unicorns".

    The difference is minor bordering on negligible, Steve. One new design claimed 11% reduction in "head trauma", but it has not been independently verified and may not have been referring to concussions.

  • Yeah they should be able to design a helmet that will help reduce concussions. Think about seat belts. They work because they stretch under times of high energy, thus reducing/damping the force your body is subject to. There's no reason a properly designed helmet could not at least help reduce concussions by absorbing some of the energy from a collision.
