Tweets and Speculation about Uniforms

Whitner tweets new uniforms will look like....
"The Oregon Ducks of the NFL"

Would rather be The Ohio State Buckeyes of the NFL.

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.....
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?
Woody?

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.

When are they due to release the new look uniforms?

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.

So everyone can blow their tax refunds on new gear?

Someone proposed the idea of adding a few strips of foam to the top of the helmet to help absorb shock. They would be the team colors and blend in.

Exactly.
The NFL is on top of it. The power of marketing research

I never understood that. It's not as if people are actually getting their refunds on the 15th. It's just a deadline to file. Maybe I'm wrong, but my dad's a CPA and I've never gotten mine on the 15th.

Seat belts work by anchoring your body to the vehicle's frame so you decelerate at essentially the same rate as the vehicle. Without them and end up launched into the windshield... or your padded dashboard.
The energy dissipated by the slight reduction in deceleration due to the small amount they stretch, is not significant. The principle is to spread the force out over as much area as possible, i.e., across the hips and chest.

Helmets with full, foam caps on them have been around for years. Mark Kelso wore one over 20 years ago as did a SF O-lineman. The benefit is negligible.

Seat belts stretch ever so slightly in a collision while also keeping you from smashing into the dash or steering wheel. If you decelerated at the same rate as your car your internal organs would get smashed. Without the seatbelt stretching It would essentially be the same as smashing into dash. What seriously injures or kills you is the sudden deceleration and resulting damage to internal organs.

Seatbelts have fuck all to do with helmets, unless you're suggesting a seatbelt that keeps the players brain (passenger) from hitting the skull (dashboard)

Ummmm.... no.

So now the Bengals have decided to mock the Browns and their upcoming Uniform change.....
Of ALL the teams who shouldn't be mocking uni's, gotta say the Bungles are #1.....ugliest uni ever....
