HOOVER Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 While reading an article on Toby Gerhart this morning, I noticed that he and the entire Jaguars football team are wearing custom "JAGS" bumper plates on their helmets now and have been doing so since at least OTA's and now in minicamp. I'm assuming the ending of the Riddell deal opened up this possibility for teams, and I for one think it looks outstanding here. That being said, I'm a Chiefs fan and have been following their offseason workouts and have noticed that while some are wearing blank bumpers and some even still have Riddell bumpers on, I haven't seen them or any other teams make this move.Obviously this is more of the Nike/Oregon influence moving into the NFL, which in my opinion is not a bad thing for teams with newer identities like the Jags. Since I'm not going to spend my morning going to look at photos of the other 31 NFL teams' minicamp photo galleries, have you seen any other teams do this yet, and do you expect them to? Jacksonville looks like they also have a black "JAGUARS" decal on the back bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Are you asking if the Jaguars are the first to use team name bumpers on the helmets? Far from it. Every helmet not made by Riddell has had them for years:The only difference now is that Riddell has lost its "official helmet" designation, and with it the ability to put their own name on them. So you're seeing those team bumpers on all helmets. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clintau24 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 They used a raised decal of the new Jag head logo last year. Wish they'd switch back. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I believe he means raised-letter helmet bumpers.This.Ah. I see, thanks.The answer is still no, the Jaguars aren't the first to use them. The Giants have been using raised-letter rubberized helmet bumpers at least since 2006. The Giants may or may not have been the first, but in any case the raised letters aren't anything new.

wonderbread Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 If its a single letter or logo that's not split up like the giants than yes. If that is what you are asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
