guest23 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Looks more like a LAX helmet than a football helmet. Hopefully it'll help with concussions. Too bad it most likely wont make a statistically significant difference. Possibly the it may help with the repeated blunt impacts that can cause damage to interior lineman type long term head injuries (like boxers).What people don't seem to grasp is that a true concusion has very little to do with cushioning the initial impact (i.e. more advanced padding) as a concussion a result of a sudden acceleration of the brain abruptly slamming itself into the side of the skull which also involves the flexibility of the neck as well.A helment can only address a small part of the issue as the force also gets transferred to the neck which causes the whiplash effect. I don't think helmet technology on its own will ever solve this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered what the name of it was when I was watching the playoffs this year. They're playing San Antonio (Ladybird) Johnson Jaguars   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vents and angles are way overdone and distracting. Riddell has been trying to make the helmet the "star" but they just make it so that any decoration clashes with it, which is a part of football aesthetic and tradition. Schutt and Zenith look good and are safety rated. Next year may be another ugly year for helmets if this takes off. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Riddell 360 is about as far as I'll go in regards to overly designed helmets. There's plenty of room for a decal or stripes, and pretty minimal interference by the vents on the helmet. Just think about how the Chargers or Rams would look if they used these new helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
