New NFL Helmet Coming In Next Season - Biggest Overhaul Since 1960s

[My Goodness My Guinness]

I'm currently working on a project where computational models are being created for 4 different helmets. Our group is modeling the Schutt Air XP Pro and another group is actually modeling the Vices. From what I know, the Vices uses a system where the head is passively coupled with the helmet shell, kind of like the skin of a honey badger.

Now, players are still given the freedom to choose their helmet, and weight is an important factor for the players. So it'll be interesting to see if the Vices picks up traction in the NFL.

I'm not sure of the pricing options but i can speculate that it would be considerably more expensive than comparable options, which is unfortunate as most high schools won't have access to new technology like this.

Those of you who posted a pic of a disabled person with a helmet make me wish we had negative rep back.  I do not see how you can think the tragic misfortune and suffering of innocent people is funny.

Indeed but at the same time maybe it really is the special juan

It is absolutely not funny and I am offended that you think it is.

I was simply providing pictures of other helmets that people use to prevent head injuries.

I don't have a problem with them. They don't look much different from this helmet that most players wear now.

Fortunately, it's just one poster who's being a jerk with those pictures. Still a dick move on his part though.

I don't care what the helmets look like. They aren't wearing them for looks. It's purely functional.

I promise, if the NFL goes back to the leather helmets, players will immediately stop leading with their heads.

Except for those crazy ass players who's mental edge brought them to the NFL in the first place.
