Sport Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 *dumb guy voice* "they only wear it to look cool" Well yeah, that's 90% of fashion. I'm not wearing these skinny jeans and $300 vintage concert tshirts out of practicality!* Visors do look cool, but they also keep fingers out of your eyes and rubber field turf pellets out of your face. There's plenty of functionality there. When Ted Ginn was on the Dolphins he sometimes used one of those kicker facemasks with a visor. I thought it looked cool on a wiry, speedy guy like him *I don't actually wear this. I'm in my corporate dork uniform of khakis and golf shirt.

Ben5 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I don't like visors because when it rains, half the team wants them off and that is annoying. If your argument is that visors are bad because they are a waste of money, then I think you are nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar Matt Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I prefer visors. Not only do they look cool, they also provide some additional protection. I had a clear visor in high school to keep fingers and debris out of my eyes because I wore contacts. I honestly don't know why any football player would play without at least a clear visor on. It seems like a necessary protection thing. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxSteeler Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I think it's fair game to wear visors if it makes you more comfortable on the field, especially for running backs and wideouts. Even if guys "think" they make them cool, it is is still just another layer of protection so why the hostility? It definitely helps protect the face. With a visor on, It's one less giant hole for a hand to grab and turn their head. I've heard they can make you really hot since there is less ventilation. I guess there is always a trade off. In 2011 Big Ben wore a visor for several games after his nose was broken. He'd have it removed in the middle of games if it got fogged up from rain. He even wore one for part of super bowl 45.

You make it sound like he attacked someone. No, he only pulled his wang out at them in a dirty bar bathroom. Get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRicSlick Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 This matchup is from 1981, as you can see, #70 Joe Devlin of the Bills has a visor. Many credit Mark Mullaney as the first person to wear a visor in 1984. Which the picture proves to be incorrect. So it seems like Joe Devlin started the trend. Congrats to him.

FiddySicks Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I always loved Ronnie Brown's fire visor before they banned him from using it.
