DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I shared this in the NFL LA uniform thread: I'm so glad I spent all that time tracking down that image from 1994. It looks like they were predicting a full face shield back then. Assuming you could develop a non-fogging, non-breaking material that still allows for peripheral vision, that seems like the way to go? You also kill of facemask penalties, which are generally just as ambiguously called as PI or holding. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 There’s ways to coat them so you don’t get them fogged up. Its going to be interesting when it rains or snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VDizzle12 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm assuming water bottles will probably be avoided, so most likely players will have to remove their helmets regardless. At least unsnap the chinstrap to drink water from a cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least unsnap the chinstrap to drink water from a cup. This raises an interesting question. Since the 'splash guard' only works when you have your helmet on, what about the guys on the sideline who aren't wearing helmets? You'd almost need a second mask under the facemask for when the helmets come off. Otherwise, what's the point when you're having conversations like this on the sidelines? Maybe something worn around the neck that they can slide on/off as needed? It'd need to be Dri-Fit material or else they'd be waterboarding themselves with their own sweat. Either that, or require helmets stay on at all times -- but some guys need to give their heads a chance to breathe. My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done. AZ updated 04/21/23.

monkeypower Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 From an equipment guy on the college football subreddit, Quote My $.02 as an equipment guy: I haven't seen this in person yet, but my main concerns are fogging, rain, and difficulty breathing. -Even the some of the best 'anti-fogging' stuff out there still will get foggy, and for $25 a set, I doubt this is super high end. Not to mention how easy it will be to get dirty with mud, sweat, scratches, and saliva -If it rains, not a single player is going to want to wear this. If you look close enough during any game where it rains, its a fire drill on the sideline of players finding the equipment guys to take their visors off after the series they're in. You just can't see out of them when it rains. -Especially during camp/August/September this thing will be super hard to breathe in. A couple of schools I've been around have trainer staffs who won't even let guys wear visors during camp because it limits how well you can breathe in the hot and humid. Its good to see companies innovating though, I just don't know if this is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Players typically take their visors off when it rains because of the visibility issues they create, so I don't know that this is much of a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
