These actually don't look half bad.

I don't understand why some new technique, like say tackling, could be introduced at the highest level of the game to significantly reduce concussions and spinal injuries. The helmet is only a weapon because it is allowed to be used as such.

Call me old school, but I find the NFL extremely trite and boring. It has of course trickled down. The missile-like big hits mean nothing to me. Hit someone, wrap and take them down. I don't want to hear that today's athletes are so much bigger, stronger, faster. Mandate and eforce tackling back in to the game.

Completely non-fashion question: it seems to me that matte finish might be better at lowering the torque that results from friction in possible helmet-to-helmet contact. I understand that reducing friction is a big emphasis in modern helmet design - friction and the resulting torque being contributors to serious neck injury. If true, you'd think we could expect to see more matte-finish helmets in the future.

Anybody here have enough tech background to comment?

Coatings, from matte to full sheen/gloss, can have the same amount of slip. It just takes a different particle size wax so that it doesn't interfere with the full gloss effect. Otherwise, there are liquid chemicals that can make it slick as well. Therefore, I don't see it being an issue in this regard.

VPI goes OCP

Virginia+Tech+Goes+MultiCam.jpg


The Hokies of Virginia Tech released the news that they will be wearing camouflage helmets on September 22nd for Military Appreciation Night. Many times we have seen newly design derivatives of military camouflage patterns utilized by sports teams. While not mentioned in name, this certainly appears to be the MultiCam camouflage pattern utilized by the U.S. Army and Air Force in Afghanistan.

It is noted that the military inspired helmets are being worn to raise funding for the Wounded Warrior Project in conjunction with camo hat sells during the game. We can't imagine a better camouflage selection given the widespread use by our troops in Operation Enduring Freedom.
