You gotta see this... The Gladiator (2 Viewers)

[BLUEGRASS SAINT]

Something to talk about other than the draft and Free Agent visits. Here is the new helmet that is being shown around. It looks pretty futuristic. Anyway, if the league was to use them, we need a logo/design. Are there any photo shop guys/gals out here? Design the Saints helmet.

Here is the article...

I hope they don't use this crap.

Why?

Well at first glance from a safety point of view, it looks like it would make my job a little easier in getting the facemask off when a catastophic neck injury occurs.

If we sign ZT, we should get him to wear two of them. Bubble wrap that noggin.

I think it looks great, I would like to see wierd looking helmets like that in the NFL.

sucks but its just for kicks

 

[BLUEGRASS SAINT]

Here is the innerworkings of the helmet ala Buffalo Bills helmet. If it helps with concussions or head injuries then it would be great.

it looks bad but if it helps the players then im all for it

 

[DrudkhFan]

I think it would look good with a dark thing covering the eyes like L.T. has.

Curious to see how it will hold up during contact with its soft-hard-soft shell where as current helmets are hard-soft.

It looks ridiculous.

 

[obwhiteo]

looks horrid, but if it makes the game safer, start using it ASAP

It's a prototype. The marketing geniuses haven't applied their pied piper magic to it yet.

Why?

because it looks like a wheel chair should come with it.

i didn't read the article i was commenting solely on looks. If it helps with injuries, then use it of course.
