H11K Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Goofy facemask? Isn't that one of the two classic quarterback facemasks just with a second bar on the top?I love that mask! I think the last QB to wear that cage was Byron LeftwichYeah but it should be left in the past because it looks weird. Bigger masks should only be used by lineman and maybe linebackers in my opinion... Thurman Thomas wore this mask but I don't think anyone wants to see Adrian Peterson wear it because its too old school Id like to see itMe too.Add me to the list. While we're at it, I'd like to see this face mask make a comeback. No, no no, and more no, that mask is clunky and awful haha. But as to those QB's masks, theyre alright.

Don't sugarcoat it, tell us what you really think. Anyway, I think that mask looks a helluva lot cooler than these ugly-assed things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 What would be perfect is a shot of the D-Line with steam/breath coming out of their facemasks.

leopard88 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Great picture . . . and close enough.One of my favorite football memories from boyhood is watching late season/playoffs Vikings games from old Metropolitan Stadium and seeing the D-Line waiting for the offense to break the huddle with steam pouring out of their facemasks. I still curse the day the Vikings became a dome team.

Around the Horn Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Just my opinion, but I think that facemask is one of the best. It's a great QB mask. Peyton Manning looked a lot better with it than that ugly-assed thing he wears now...i feel the exact opposite, lol. for what it's worth, Manning switched to the Speed Flex this year. it seems they made a custom mask for Manning's Flex that resembles the one from the Revolution. Okay the speedflex looks god damn awful but I don't get the hate for the Revolution...I always liked it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRicSlick Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 The revolution basically started the trend of vents and grooves in helmets. That's why it's hated, that and it's also ugly as sin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
