Looks like a motorcycle helmet and a football helmet cross pollinated.

Yeah or Nascar.

The leather ones were way better.

As long as it has the star...

..lol.. yep, couldn't chew the leather on those boys.

Are they game helmets or just practice helmets?

Good question. You would think they'd be the same all around.

Looks like an anime cartoon helmet. I'm not a fan and hope on game day they go back to the traditional look.

Bet Zekes is an XXL.

 

[Ranching]

No problem with progress and players safety from me.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Pointy looking.

Whatever works. We need to stop these dudes from their brains turning into oatmeal if we want this sport to survive.

You'd think that would make sense, but these don't look like they have enough coverage in the back. Maybe the streamline shape just makes it look that way. Whatever the case, you'd think we would have heard if they were changing the helmets this drastically.

Yeah, they look really light.

If it protects better I am not gonna be a little baby and complain about it.

Fans in the 40's complained that replacing the classic leather helmets was gonna ruin the game.

 

[calico]

Soon

 

[DonaldM]

No

Sorry, but these aren't coming back. Too many of those guys ended up with early onset dementia.

Lol, maybe a more modern traditional look. That looks like the helmet I got when I was six to play in the yard with.

I'm just wondering about the chin exposure.
I know Zeke carries a serious beard, but it still looks like that chin is out there for good spike from a low-to-high hit.
