nash61 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Think these will catch on and well see these with designs in the future?How does that even make sense?lolol. How does adding padding to the outside of the helmet help?The point is to soften the impact of helmet to helmet collisions.Two hard helmets banging together is loud and you can only imagine the effects. Two soft helmets dissipate the force and protect the head.

Two soft helmets dissipate the force and protect the head. I imagine it will only take one player with concussion history to wear one and rave about it for the rest of the league to follow... Probably won't be for a few years at the soonest though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Very interesting! Certainly looks odd, but I'm curious as to how you'd brand those with a logo.

CS85 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Calvin Murphy's cut-away hockey helmet (I'd love to know the story behind this):Per google, Murphy suffered a concussion from an elbow to the head. He missed 3 games and returned wearing that reconstructed helmet which apparently didn't deter his game at all. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

He missed 3 games and returned wearing that reconstructed helmet which apparently didn't deter his game at all.And why blue?I had to check the date of the article - 1980. At first I thought he wound up with a blue helmet because they just snagged one from the old Houston Aeros since they wore blue, but the Aeros were long gone by 1980. Maybe there was still one hanging around the equipment room at the arena fromt the Aeros so they used it anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got started before batting gloves were introduced to the game. Go Aggies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
