I watch hockey and follow it alot. I think the quote of a old school player rings well for the NFL as well. "If you want to avoid head trauma, stop making the equipment so good that you can't feel your hit." "They have made it so good, they have put man made missles in a playing field."
My dad was wearing one of those face masks in high school in the 1950s. It broke near the anchor points. The mask came up and broke the bridge of his nose.
0:16 Paul Brown, the 1st head coach and namesake of the Cleveland Browns, invented that type face mask to protect his QB Otto Graham. It wasn't practical: Graham said it was tough to breath through the plastic which also fogged-up. So, Brown asked Riddell to create the face-mask at 0:26 which he patented and got royalties.
I just read the rules about headsets in football. Only the NFL allows the use of coach-to-player radio communication. (not college, HS etc) One player on offense (always the QB) and one player on defense (usually a middle linebacker) are allowed to wear a helmet with speakers. The communication is 1-way only (coach to player) The coach transmitting to the player must be on the sideline (not up in a booth) The comms go dead when the play clock hits 15 sec. If one team loses comms, the other team must stop using comms.
I don't care what team would make this video because it's still interesting to see how the NFL went from player hurt to every god damn play to less injuries.
I think they did a study that found out that the addition of facemasks increased injuries due to players using their helmets to hit opponents without as much fear of injuring themselves. Rule changes were added to try and mitigate this.
Crazy how the exterior design of the helmet (other than facemasks) went largely unchanged until the 2010s. You could probably put a 2000s facemask on a 1950s helmet and to the untrained eye it would look like a 2000s helmet.
The only difference is the padding on the inside and materials possibly but since the helmets already do their job there’s only room for little improvements over time
For some reason i like helmets that have player's number on it. Some teams dont have it but colts helmet number are the biggest and most visible which make it my favourite nfl helmet - not a colts fan
By the way I used to love the Baltimore Colts! That 70s helmet looks just like Mike Curtis. But you should have used him in the 60s since he was such a stud in the late 60s.

The 1990’s helmet is in my opinion the coolest looking helmet with the blue face mask and white helmet with a blue line down the middle. They should wear that as their away helmets
I did a report in 6th or 7 th grade on the history of football and the helmets took like 1 pg and a half of a 4 pg paper . It was printed on MLA format
TheEvrLastingGmr YT I believe they ARE the ones you put on when you go on the planes... The point of them was to basically provide no protection and get you killed.
@@ballisticwolf7463 actually they did provide some level protection and it could be argued that when people wore those helmets in football they were more careful on how they tackled because of less padding they were wearing but hey just my opinion.
@@andrew7861 no, it wouldnt. NHL has already approved it to begin in 2024, and the current helmets have been requested multiple times for additional facial protection. What you said makes no sense, considering the fact that players already cover their entire face, and that every major institution that studies impact protection, say that full facial masks are the safest...

That 1950s visor has to be super dangerous. It could just literally shatter in your face on a big impact.
That’s why it’s thick plexiglass or possibly plastic
Happens in hockey if a puck hits you it won’t shatter but it will push back into your cheek nose or eye and cut you.
@@slapshotjack9806 yeah and? Plexiglass and plastic shatter.
@@slapshotjack9806 they were banned after only a couple of years, specifically because they shatter. Especially in colder temperatures.

They still play space football in that one.
Took me the entire video to realize this was the colts RUclips channel and not just a guy that likes the colts
Fun fact: the green sticker on the back of the helmet means there is a headset inside so the QB and the coach can talk to each other.
neat
I had no idea thats what that ment. Thanks!

No the 90s
Unless you’re getting hit
Won’t be comfortable when you get hit lmao.

Those 1950’s blue helmets with the horseshoes on the back are fire 🔥

you know nfl behind college when it comes to modern uniforms and gear...

They probably get the sizes to fit him before they film.
The padding can be swapped for other sizes.

0:24 that’s a glass face mask
Which means it can shatter and all the glass pieces go all over your face.
It would hurt a lot
Elsa Warouw it is probably non shattering glass which means it can crack and break into 2-4 pieces but not shatter
Imagine that but covering the whole face, that would be interesting
It's clear platstic
Where's the speed flex
