New Helmets in the NFL

[carlosgg6]

Steven Jackson has been using the new Rawlings helmet.

I thinks it looks pretty good, have someone watch this helmet in other players, or the new Revo 360?

[Brave-Bird 08]

Looks like a mixture of the Air XP and Xenith

monkey see, monkey do

have not seen any Revo 360s yet.

[dmhtfld]

Thats the first new helmet ive noticed and i really like how those stripes look. Ive been looking for the new revo 360 on players though.

Tebow has gone to this terribly ugly thing

glad to see Quinn back in a revolution, though its a different mask from the Browns days

Phillip Wheeler with something different from 2010

Bringing this one back from the grave - in watching the Week 1 action I've noticed that several quarterbacks have switched from what they wore last year to Schutt Air XP Elite models like what Aaron Rodgers wore after coming back from his concussion last year. Those that I saw were:

Matt Ryan (wore a Riddell VSR-4 last year)

Tom Brady (long-timre Riddell VSR-4 user)

Mark Sanchez (also wore a Riddell VSR-4)

Colt McCoy (wore a Schutt Air Advantage last year)

Sorry, no photos - I'll try to add some later.

Steven Jackson wore the new Rawlings helmet... and now he's hurt. Sure, he hurt his quad, but WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?

Also, does anyone miss Gary Anderson's gray single-bar facemask?

I do. Old school, right there.

I do, although it looked really strange on modern helmet designs like the Titans'.

[BrandMooreArt]

i havnt been able to find any photos, and i dont know if they were used in the game, but Colts players Ryan Diem, Dwight Freeney, Jeff Saturday, Dallas Clark, and Austin Collie were testing a new helmet made by Simpson. weighs 2lbs. ill look again tonight

[neo_prankster]

Does anybody miss the Kra-Lite masks?

[guest23]

Does anybody miss the Kra-Lite masks?

no those things were an absolute abomination on the field

[Gothamite]

And in the movies as well, apparently.

I found this on the Simpson helmet: http://theconcussionblog.com/2011/08/24/simpson-speaks-and-we-see/

I'm very interested on learning more about the helmet.

EDIT: Here is a link to the owner of Simpson talking about the helmet with an Indianapolis news station.

I personally play semi-pro football and wear a Xenith because of past issues with concussions and have found it to be the best helmet that I have ever tried. But I am eager to see how the Simpson lid compares to the Riddell Revolution, Revo Speed, & 360, the Xenith X1 & X2, Rawlings helmet and the new generation of Schutts.

Just a correction: I believe the helmet is made by Impact Racing, which is owned by Bill Simpson.

(Bill) Simpson left Simpson Racing following the Dale Earnhardt Sr. crash, around the controversy that the seatbelt (made by Simpson) failed during the accident. He shortly afterwards formed Impact Racing.

You're right. I don't follow racing, just found the links lol. Thanks for pointing it out.

Now this is one of the silliest things I have ever read on these boards. The only thing it tells you is that he hurt his leg outrunning every Eagle to the endzone. Has absolutely nothing to do with what he is wearing, be it helmets, shoulder pads, uniforms, protective apparel, cleats and/or medical tape.

Psst... it was a joke.
