Goofy looking, just like that Falcons' logo Seriously, sooner or later helmets will look like something Halo characters wear. Give it another 10-15 years,

As long as they look more Master Chief than Cleatus...........

I don't know who Cleatus is, my son would though. He BLEEDS Halo.

Isn't Cleatus the stupid Fox robot?

Well.... I can't say that particular helmet is something I look forward to seeing on a football field...

But, I suppose I would've said the same thing when they went from the leather helmets to the hard shells.

The fact that they mocked up a failcon helmet makes it even worse to look at.

whoever designed that helmet needs to be slapped

Won't need helmets. Flags will do just fine if things keep going they way they are going.

Hope the Head, Neck and Spine committee stay in agreement.

This. If it hurt like hell to lead with your helmet, maybe players wouldnt do it anymore.

Big inflatable bobbleheads are the future.

That helmet would be ugly even if it wasn't that awful shade of red.

But I'm for anything, no matter how unfashionable, that makes the players safer. As long as the Saints aren't wearing red.

You'll probably need to install a device that shocks the player when he leads with his helmet. A similar system worked well for my dogs, they never leave the yard anymore.

I'm picturing James Harrison launching himself into a tackle, getting shocked, and spazzing out mid-flight.
