When I played in the Adult AZFL League in Arizona I stated out with the Schutt Air Advantage. Then to the REVO. The Revo lasted for a week before I was back to to Air Advantage. In that league you had to pay to play and supply your own pads and helmets. By the time I stopped in 2016 I had used the previous 2 helmets along with the Revo Speed, Schutt DNA, The Schutt Ion 4D, Schutt Vengance and the Riddell speed flex. the Schutt Dna, Schutt Ion 4D and Schutt Vengance I bought when they 1st hit the market I miss my Riddell Speed Flex, Schutt Vengance, Schutt ion 4D and Schutt Air advantage the most. the original ion 4D I miss the most with it's silver padding. I felt unstoppable in that helmet as both a Linebacker and Free Safety.
I still can’t believe players still use chinstraps like Aaron Rogers. You’d think 1 helmet to the chin would hurt enough to switch to a real chinstrap.
Already knew all of this, but it was a great breakdown of the subject. Looks like the NFL wants to mitigate lawsuits from concussions by forcing players into wearing newer models. Hopefully lawsuits won’t bleed over to Riddell, Schutt, Vicis etc.
I played ball in the 80s. The old helmets had a way of not protecting you on impact. Everyone always thinks its the impact of the slamming together. Ive been hit plenty where the impact was inside the helmet. like an explosion went off. Thats where the concusions and brain damage would occur. Ive hit were i got a neck stinger, or sore shoulder, or even upper back. But the collision and impact explosion inside the helmet, rings your bell, its this that makes these new helmets so important. You hit the wrong way youll break your neck, no helmet can save you, its the explosion inside the helmet, that you try to prevent that these new helmets are needed, use them.
I’ve worn a lot of helmets in my life and my favorite has been the Soeed flex. As a kid I used the old Brady helmet because TB12 the goat. I’ve worn the revo helmet for middle school that stafford and Payton had for most of their careers. Than the Speed helmet in high school. Now I’m in semi pro and I had to buy my own gear so you already know I had to get the Speed Flex😂😂💯
I am a Panthers fan and don't at all care for the Bucs, but I must admit, the old classic "creamsicle" unis are sexy as hell. I wish they'd bring them back at least just so I'd have a better uni to look at when they play the Panthers twice per year lol. I also really really dig the old school Broncos look too with the lighter shade of blue and the D/horse logo on the helmets. So much cooler than what they have now. These days, those style unis like the Broncos and Buccs have now just looks dated in a bad way. Like, they look like they're just pretty much stuck in that early 2000s "cool/edgy/tough" kind of aesthetic with their font designs and color schemes (as are the Panthers unis, I'll readily admit). When the Rams moved to LA and went back to their older color scheme, it improved their look so so much. The same thing happened with New England (just for the record, the Pats' throwback unis and helmets are probably some of my favorites ever tbh) with their simpler, more clean design they now sport. Many other teams could definitely take a note out of their playbook, so to speak, and bring back some other classic, clean, simple design choices that are also modern. It would really freshen up some old organizations for sure and bring some new life into the league.
vicis zero1 is my personal helmet, that’s more for fit tho, it’s like perfect on my head. at my high school we don’t really care what helmet u wear. we literally have a guy on our team using some old all star helmet
My favourite helmet is the riddell something I forgot what its called but guys like michael pittman jr. And robert woods wear that helmet it looks very satifsying to me
Here's an idea: make Vicis helmets with the throwback logos, that will solve the problem right there when it comes to safety on throwback jersey night.
The NFL is putting on a ridiculous show with CTE. The fact is that NO helmet can protect a player from concussion. The brain sits inside a jelly inside the skull. Concussions occur when the brain shifts inside that jelly and smashes into the inside of the skull causing bruising. Helmets cannot ever stop that from the outside of the skull.
I‘ve always worn a schutt, when i needed a new helmet i tried on some riddells but they didnt fit my head as good as the schutts did, probably a lot of nfl players have the same reason
@@wildbroom I'm all about the suspension helmets and up. I would say from about 1965 through the mid 90's. I'm not a Riddell guy, but you can talk to me about a nice AF2 or M155 all day long!!! For facemasks, my all time favorite is the Dungard 205 (Bradshaw in SB IX), followed by the Dungard 105 (Griese SB VIII).
@@scottpetersonwesternhs9905 i like the dungard 140 and am a fan of the schutt f7 my favourite part being the top part with the square shaped cut outs. a bit of a mix in time but still amazing headwear.
Would be tough for linemen would probably peel off before halftime. Would be cool but NFL teams have the money to have a few it would be cool to see different helmets every week
I actually watch players helmet ever Sunday like Tom Brady used to wear a vsr4 now he where’s a Riddell speed flex. Precision fit and Allen ,wentz ,dak and more and I wear a riddell speed which Mitch tribisky, Watson,gropplo and goff
So the NFL, being a multi billion dollar industry, can't make helmets that are in accordance with safety regulations in throwback colors and logos? A real Commissioner worth a damn would get it done. Goodell needs to go. He ain't worth a shit.
Forget about the Eagles kelly green throwback! With the NFL's current rules, we will never see the bluejay blue and canary yellow jerseys ever again! :'( lol
One of my Riddell buddies told me that he likes the 2 point chinstrap configuration and the only manufacturer that accommodates that is Schutt. I have no idea how true that is...

Why players wear different helmets: because they want to
I honestly thought he was going to talk about the different positions wearing different helmets not the way this went
well that's mainly because there aren't specific helmets for different positions. mostly just differing facemasks for different positions.
I honestly thought it was going to focus on the face mask differences.

Maybe because the face mask 9/10 blocks the chin

Same in the early 2000s, we were re-certifying old helmets up until Ridelle Revolution models came out.
I wore a brand named BIKE
Just give everybody Speedflex’s😂
Or f7
I’m sure Schutt and Riddell would be pleased!
To change the color of the helmet, they can use a wrap similarly car vinyl wrap. They can produce cut outs and would be easy to put on
Very hard to apply in a timely manor
Brady actually raved about the transition to the Speedflex. Why y’all lyin?
thats what im saying, literally everyone wears the speedflex lmao

the different jersey styles are what I live for in madden. I love mixing and matching
I had to switch helmets from junior to senior year, they definitely fit different. I totally see players preference
The most common one is the Ridell Speed Flex
Ive worn helmets before Speed Flex was more comfortable Vicis was also comfortable but the vision weird to me
@Harvey speedflex clean wtf u talking about
The coolest too
F7 is gaining steam in popularity
I like Schutt.
Finally I’ve been wondering about this
For me that Riddell Speed Flex helmet with an Oakley Prizm visor is all I need. Feel comfortable and looks fresh i ain't gonna lie.
Yeah I like how speedflexes look and f7s
The vicis doesn’t even look bad
Players are just gonna make excuses it depends on ur taste

Nothing is better than a speed flex
Brady and Brown are just old Dudes that like the old Helmets more than the new ones
I prefer xenith helmets. Both the X2E + and the Shadow.
Just do a vinyl wrap like on cars to change the helmet up.

Test the most comment helmet from each decade!!!
I know why because their heads are different sizes

They shape it to your head circumference.
Its because different ones are best for different people like if you have certain head problems then you will get a different helmet There time saved
