Speedflex - Vicis Zero (New Update)

[@Bendover34891]

The first football helmet was made in 1896

[@beastmode2894]

People would be dying if the helmets we're still like the early 1900s.

[@KappaJxsh]

Lao 001 which would lead to death sometimes

[@andreznoriega3266]

Y'all just going to sit there and pretend rugby didn't exist?

[@yankeewitnobrim1669]

Andrez Noriega ray lewis vs the biggest rugby player rays winning

[@haussfootball3304]

Beast mode you think?🙄

[@raxon6603]

Pre 1940s they werent even known as helmets just merely caps

[@meljenkins1016]

Some NFL players used the Riddell pre-1955 helmets which were almost the same design as the 1940's all the way to the late 60's & early 70's. Players like Joe Namath, Ben Davidson, Jim Otto, Deacon Jones and Roman Gabriel. I'm referring to the buldge on the side of the helmet by the ear piece which disappeared after 1955 and was replace by the 1960 version suspension helmets.

[@joemcgookey5262]

It might help if a caption was added to explain what had changed from the previous design. Some of the changes, especially in the later helmets are almost indiscernible.

[@STLTH_Raptor]

I remember playing football in 1893 with the boys at the park wearing those helmets

[@jeffpecker]

Y'all should have just showed nothing for like 1880s or something lol

[@419HLR]

Collage football actually did exist in the 1880s

[@DavidGarcia-gp6mg]

The amount of concussions they must have gotten in 1900

[@jayjusto9580]

Dialga_PlaysGames they didn’t play that rough back then

[@hypo658]

Yayyster yeah they did and also there was a study shown that leather helmets are just as effective

[@braydenlong4934]

Finn Travis incorrect, in today’s game people tackle head first and use their head as a weapon, therefore increasing the amount of concussion. Back then they tackles using their bodies not heads, therefore decreasing the amount of conclusions.

[@notjeffrey_2485]

I am a sports fan your name tells us all

[@zelada2123]

These helmets are mostly used to avoid skull fractures

[@sunsetskiesofficial]

They actually added the face mask after Otto Graham got a face injury

[@iigodkillziiv4622]

The speed flex is 2018 not the revolution speed

[@thomascase7763]

That is what I sai

[@major600]

It'd be useful to see inside of the helmets, too.

[@batzathebeast6750]

For the most protection I use the 1900 helmet

[@unknogne]

0:21 electric chair was the first thing to cøme to mind

[@maxwelllan]

This is really cool

[@JoseGarcia-rb8rm]

Where is the speedflex

[@chillbra1794]

Right here👌I hope you looked

[@mkl62]

Thanks for posting.

[@chewy2507]

you shouldve had the speed for 2010 the speedflex for 2016 and the vicis zero for 2018

[@tr0picz551]

Bro he missed so many

[@landongames4299]

Watch at 2x speed

[@V01cez]

Ryann FFA thank you

[@ZayFlowersprod4]

The 2000 helmet looks so so so good

[@tachyonvortex8810]

Should've included speedflex, f7, or vicis for 2018

[@isaiahquintanilla640]

How many concussions did they get during 1893

[@meljenkins1016]

Seems that the people who create these videos of the evolution of the football helmet seem to get the helmets wrong for the particular years they were used.

[@jmpeh702]

1800. Paper bags

[@jose_b_snazzy]

Do you guys know what the name of the face mask is in the 1970

[@sukydrippp5335]

Nice vid 👍🏻

[@icu_die1237]

why wouldn't you put the speed flex or the flex 2 for 2018?

[@dino5336]

Faltó el ridell revolucion

[@justasimplemanworkinghiswa1569]

60s design is my favorite.

[@TheRealestApex]

American Football is so original

[@dfcvda]

well to a point

[@loafs9418]

Ya Um how did you get Helmets from 1900 and 1910 if the NFL started in 9120

[@House_MAL]

Football has existed longer than the NFL

[@kenyork6215]

Beginning of the video I'm a OU fan

[@shavedkylee7525]

Good job

[@wwefan1776]

We're is the vicis and the speedflex ?????????????
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@juanantonioaguilar452]

Riddell 360 is missing

[@ThePlushieOne]

Nice try but fake thumbnail there can't be a 1903 helmet since the league started in 1920

[@connerwildlife7243]

Where is all the different types of helmets in the 2000s

[@Alfredo_Ramos]

At least we are not wearing those 1900’s football helmets now, concussions are increasing, hits are getting harder, players are getting bigger, faster, and much stronger

[@lewisfamilytech5629]

All the way to 1940 nothing got better! 😂😂😂

[@ploopy5138]

My school still uses the ones from the 40s

[@bamaagainsttheworld.4506]

Lmao

[@christophersalinas2722]

1960 helmet lookin good

[@Goldensphinx]

Very cool video, great job

[@willlowe5901]

0:14 to 1:32

[@EdsterIII]

Well the 1900 era "helmets" are just leather caps. The head had sure taken a beating over the years.

[@swanrivers3708]

Where is the vicis

[@_ISSA_]

Name of the song?

[@christianfloyd709]

I'm only liking this video because there was and ASU helmet

[@w1ldc4rdgaming39]

How is 1893 even a helmet?Proabbly tons of concussions

[@Alfredo_Ramos]

Marshmello Fan Keep it mellow -Roblox And More The players were not as strong as we are now, they used to be smaller, slower, and weaker

[@basher588]

In this day and age they would stil tackeling like in Rugby, so there werent as many concussions

[@obs.tyk.]

I like the 80s design the most

[@dfcvda]

1930 appears to be the turning point.

[@slanginn7]

1960 is the LSU helmet

[@Tofu_Delivery_Boi]

Ahh yes, the 1920s when football was about 200 lbs dudes running into each other at full force wearing nothing but leather caps

[@DANGERUSS_97]

Inaccurate af. Speedflex is 2018 not revo speed

[@henrycrawford5034]

The patriots helmet from 1990 was fake

[@jimcricket8128]

2000 helmet is totally wrong. The riddell revolution that peyton manning wore came out around then.

[@ampro1225]

for the maximum amount of protection, i prefer the 1900's.

[@SatireCam]

Yea its 2018 wheres revo speed flex

[@beerborn]

How the hell that in the 1930's they were using leather helmets, then to the 1940's they used plastic helmets, then in the 1950's they went back to leather helmets ??????

[@romamo7018]

beerborn it’s just brown plastic

[@maryaliceranta1778]

In 1958 I wore the 1950 model leather helmet which was a copy of the Notre Dame helmet. That was the same year face bars were required for high schools in Calif, I had 2 concussions from blows to the forehead. In 1959 my school changed to the Riddell plastic helmet and to a new coach!

[@DomesOnMobile]

1:10 does not look like 1980 more like 2016

[@henrycrawford5034]

The helmet is a model helmet

[@orlandojr6986]

We don't talk about 1960....

[@luffy-mi9zl]

Why ou helmets

[@beerborn]

It was leather in the 1930's then it went to plastic in 1940's then back to leather in the 1950's ? 0:36 The guy who did this video didn't do his homework.

[@mrmello2428]

I have a uncle who played for the bis once

[@thefrog6515]

First 5 are just 7on7 helmets

[@janmacek1648]

pls next time evolution of rugby helmets. Thx...

[@daltonii6]

WHERE THE FUCK WAS THE RIDDELL SPEED FLEX

[@thomascase7763]

The speed revolution came out 2007

[@33baugh]

Antonio Brown should pimp the 1893 junks!!

[@jakethesnake10]

The last one was 2010 or 2009 not 2018 lol

[@bageled_meme9867]

In the early days they just did not care! Dang.

[@kel1083]

[@sofiethecoolgirl2114]

[@kinggil4181]

no 2000s has a better facemask

[@lydiabarajas1430]

Speedflex

[@edilsongramajo8153]

Get your facts together

[@brandondieguez9988]

Bruh why the fuck every single video like this forgets the FUCKING SPEEDFLEX

[@charliehornbeck4595]

Some of these are just plain weird and off date

[@mandiirwin9960]

Bro

[@xanderdixon9005]

There wasn't even an NFL or AFL until 1920. Therefore, it is impossible that a helmet was made in 1893

[@Klos1neMN]

Princeton played Yale for the 1st time in 1873, collegiate football was around before professional. So, that's where helmets came in before the formation of the AFL or NFL.

[@justadumbassliberal2106]

There was college football before there was the nfl

[@efilwv1635]

In 1893, helmets were made from fried turds.

[@stardansneed1749]

1:35 BOOMER SOONER

[@despije69]
