Nothing like a uniform thread to distract us from less important things like people getting dismissed.

Its real. Its just a pad that slips over the helmet.

UA bringing the style, running new ideas by the players during the preseason.

Seriously, if they are actually safer, why don't we wear them in games?

Believe that the general theory is "safer helmets" are what has caused the increase in injuries over the years with players thinking their safer so putting themselves (and others) in more compromising positions.

It's just a pad coverage thing for practice. Makes it easier for CPJ to identify the snowflakes and the men.

Ought to go back to old school big shoulder pads

The same people who say this point to rugby as if it's somehow safer. Watch any rugby match on TV and you'll see multiple players enter concussion protocol. I question how they manage to field teams after 3 games with the number of injuries you see.

it's a maxi pad?

I wonder how beneficial that actually is. If concussions are caused by your brain shaking from impact, how much would some soft padding actually help?

Impulse doesn't change, but increase in time period reduces the force.

Y'all told me it was a stupid idea when I advocated for giant padded helmets. Well

It's probably not a solution, but it does help.

This is not boxing where more head protection means more hits to the head.
