  • 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.

    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)

    This is the photo thats been getting everyone riled up.

    -It has the Nike tags for the size, in both places.. and Nike swooshes on the shoulders.

    -If you look at the seams you can see its the new jersey material and it has the right "cuts"

    -It has the NFL emblem

    -Alot of detail, including "Dawg Pound" in the collar... which is what the Browns have been pushing

    -It is the new orange color

    -It has the new font

    -It EVEN has the new dawg pound t-shirts in the background

    If these are them. I LIKE IT!

    I have always wanted ORANGE Jerseys, The stripes would look MUCH better with the pads on. Supposedly these were "leaked" by a manager at Dicks who got an early shipment in.

    They very well could be fakes... but that is ALOT of detail to put into a fake. Especially that there are 2 of them.

  • Hope these are fakes

  • They would be great to wear onHalloween.
