New University of Arizona football facemasks

Its the next step of personalizing everything. I don't really see what you guys are so up in arms about (besides the pointy one) I understand its the nature of these boards, but it really is just a ridiculous looking over the top facemask that looks like it was pried off the front end of an 1870s locomotive.

FYP.

Well I guess i'm just fighting the urge to be a 32 year old curmudgeon that hates everything slightly modern.

*ahem*

25 year old curmudgeon thankyouverymuch.

Is it overkill, sure. Can I see why the kids would think its "B.A"? sure. Kids have awful taste for the most part.

Well there you go.

But I guess face masks cleats and gloves are the triad of crap i classify as "do your worst" and I won't care. Cause its not a team thing. You wanna wear ass ugly cleats? Knock yourself out, kid. However, Ol' One Bar Joe Theismann's head may explode when he sees these. If he's not too busy schilling boner pills for old men.

It's not the worst thing in the world, it's just more of the same crap we've been seeing from NCAA football for years. Everyone wants to look "sick" or like a "solider." This is more of that. Now they can literally wear fangs if they want. It's ridiculous.

Ridiculous? Yes.

But at least most are team colored. That 'Zona one is dumb because of the colorization. Also, the pointy one is just begging an injury.

What's next? Helmet Tusks for Arkansas? Bristles for USC and Michigan State?

You know...it's not that far-fetched.

It's only a matter of time before the Vikings helmet features actual horns. I guarantee it will reduce the league incidence of concussions....because it'll dramatically increase the league incidence of impalements.

Can't wait to see the future of Rollerball -I mean, the NFL...

IIRC NFL players are only allowed to wear visors (at least dark/mirrored, not sure about clear) if they have a medical need. Of course I'm sure a prescription can be "arranged" for anyone who wants to wear one.

In CA you can make one stop for your vision issues to get a dark/mirriored visor and a cannibis Rx.
