It was only a matter of time before this happened.
I’m honestly surprised we haven’t seen this already.
Concussions are probably, almost certainly, the biggest issue the NFL faces.
Helmet technology has come so far in the last however many years.
It looks stupid, or 2.
It hinders your performance.
It looking stupid really isn’t an excuse.
I mean… it does look stupid.
I can’t deny that.
But not having a fully functioning brain makes you literally stupid.
So weigh the pro’s and con’s there.
Which will make fans think I’m less cool.
Which will in turn impact my popularity and endorsement deals.
But even typing that out feels like a stretch.
And as far as it hindering your performance, I can’t imagine it actually does that.
Maybe it feels ever-so-slightly heavier on your head.
But I guarantee it’s nothing that a player wouldn’t get used to almost immediately.
It was only a matter of time before players started wearing these in real games.
And I have to think it’s only a matter of time before they become common place.
And only a matter of time before the NFL makes them mandatory.
For better or worse (probably better).
The more brain protection the better right?
Idk I’m not Will Smith.
But for what it’s worth, I don’t think they look that bad.
you’re free to still see the logo fine.
From a distance you could barely even tell Jonathan Taylor had one on.
They’re not nearly as noticeable as the real mushroom helmets players wear in practice.
The Guardian Caps are about to be here to stay.
I can’t imagine a world where that’s not the direction we’re headed.
