guest23 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 So does the camera require that big battery box on the back? If so I think they need to toss these and call the old WLAF camera guys.This is what the Vision helmet looks like from behind.They should just screw a go pro to the top of the helmet and call it a day.

walkerws Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I agree. This is just terrible. The weight on the back of the neck is going to be a deterrent. Has the NCAA said that it can be worn during the regular season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBolt3 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Oh, I was impartial to that helmet... Until that view. Looks like one of those helmet phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I can't help but go the "let's wait til we see it on the field first" approach with this helmet. I remember the Revo Speed really turned some heads but it slowly became so commonly used that fans just began to run with it. Let's not forget the idea that these helmets were supposedly designed for player safety first, aesthetics second. That's worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 If you're talking Schutt Vision, it's been used in the AFL. I have only seen a few pictures but I'm sureit wasn't well distributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellowTheMyth Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 They probably just use the camera helmets for practice, I couldn't see that being implemented into real games until they clear up rules and improve the helmet model. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk36 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Finally a decal whose placement may not upset some in here:Horrible helmets. Out of control. Eventually someone is going to break a finger off getting it stuck in one of the many holes on the helmet and then there will be a huge push to go to a revolutionary smooth helmet with no ridges or gaps.

Broke the tip of the bone so bad he lost the tip of his finger. And yes there's also a story about the same thing happening to Ronnie Lott in the late 80's.

BrandMooreArt Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I agree. This is just terrible. The weight on the back of the neck is going to be a deterrent. Has the NCAA said that it can be worn during the regular season?That is a valid point. Simpson made his his football helmet as light a possible. He said weight was a big contributing factor to concussions and all the major helmets were too heavy  GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE  /  MEDIUM /  DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously helmets have always had holes but the more you add, the better the chance of an injury occurring. Especially when adding more holes in combination with ridges. Too much.

I love that they used a grey face mask as well. It really makes them look sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
