Punching Bag Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) It is not just a concept now - Schutt producing Version 1 of it with beta version released by inventor 6 years ago. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18495409/uni-watch-aesthetics-new-schutt-f7-helmet Wonder if Pegula would like to make a splash with a new design including helmet logo for next year for entire team? The Bills used to have a player with a double cab helmet. Edited January 19, 2017 by Koolaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 if it is any good and worth anything it is next to pointless to use in the nfl. until you can press this out to colleges, high schools, middle schools and peewee it won't have much of an impact. if schutt was a respectable company they'd give them out for free to help with safety.

PromoTheRobot Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The NFL probably decides what equipment can be used, not individual teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREE HAT! Schutt hopes to make the F7 available to colleges in time for their spring practices in March and April, and to NFL teams in time for OTAs in May.

The Bills used to have a player with a double cab helmet. Interesting article and design. The quick release face mask is also really interesting. Good to get the face mask out of the way without having to move the players head/neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hence reason why I think Bills marketing should look for a new logo custom designed for helmet to make a splash. I am not an artist by I can see a lot of potential for making it look different so it fits the helmet but still look okay on the mini-helmets sold to fans.

Thrivefourfive Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Maybe the reason why this helmet is needed is the real problem...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Lukas And therein lies the ultimate problem. That's sad. Looks defining function. Original helmets didn't have logos. FWIW, leather helmets actually proved better impact protection than modern plastic helmets... Really, outside the other drawbacks, like being facially maimed, leather may be better against concussion: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/are-modern-football-helmets-any-safer-than-old-school-leather-ones-52942951/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
