New, Safer Football Helmets

The Riddell Revolution, a helmet introduced in 2002, is making big strides in safety for football players of all ages.  Injuries to the head are among the most common and most detrimental in the game of football.  The impacts are mainly on the side of the head, that's why the new helmet has extra padding in that area to further protect the player.  The Tru-Curve technology is a protective shell that extends down to the jaw area to lock that in place so the head and jaw are more stable, making a major impact less painful.  The VSR Air-Fit System allows the player to add air to the pads of the helmet to insure a personalized, comfortable fit.  Experts warn that concussions can cause short-term, as well as long-term brain damage, especially to teenagers and young adults.  The new helmet is designed to drastically reduce these injuries and protect our players from the dangerous nature of this great game.
