[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 985839, member: 4572"] The next innovation in football helmets will look something like this [ATTACH type="full" alt="3E77376C-FDE0-4420-99A6-AAE91BBF6584.jpeg"]15362[/ATTACH] Here’s an accompanying article to go with the photo: [URL]https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-executive-hints-that-guardian-caps-could-eventually-be-worn-in-games-along-with-position-specific-helmets/[/URL] The NFL has required players at certain positions to wear the “Guardian Caps” in offseason practices, and the article suggests they could be worn in games soon. Most colleges and some high schools now also use them during practices, and according to studies; the lower the level of play the more reduction in head injuries they produce. Regardless of whether or not these specific devices start seeing in-game action, the next generation of football helmets will almost definitely include a soft, padded outer shell. It may require teams to go away from the traditional logo-ed helmet look if it strays too far away from the traditional buckets, but will go a long way for player safety. [/QUOTE]
