Sport Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I didn't like the Revo speed at first, but I've gotten used to it. It'll never be my favorite helmet as long as there's a big ass hole and ridge where a logo often sits. I am skeptical that it is entirely due to safety and think those measures could've been implemented just as effectively with less intrusion into the logo space. I think it more has to do with Riddell losing the ability to put their logo on NFL helmet bumpers and so now they have to find creative ways to brand their helmets.

The "You broke your left jaw and therefore we won't worry about the right jaw" facemask. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Scott Player was the last person to wear one in a game and he got a special grandfather dispensation from the NFL after they banned the single bar. http://www.espn.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/2102/face-of-the-nfl-is-gone-an-ode-to-the-single-bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandell Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I think this was the best suspension system helmet ever made. The MacGregor clear shell. The clear shell was actually painted from the inside. The leather cover padded suspension system was the most comfortable that I ever wore. As an 11 and 12 year old, several of these were passed down from our high school to our recreation department. This example was used by the Cardinals.

(on the left he's wearing the one year only '84 Browns uniforms.) I think he pulled off that mask pretty well too. But I think he looked much cooler with this mask...
