They all look lousy.  Too much like an arena football team helmet.

Way too much history in some of the helmets worn now.  I'd hate to see them disappear for this kind of stuff

They need to go back to open face leather helmets if they're truly concerned about the players well being and injuries.  The more 'space age impact technology' and other BS they add to the helmets are one of the contributing factors in Helmet to Helmet contact and other serious injuries in the game.  You'd see a lot less people leading with their heads for a tackle.

But that's not what we want to see...  a good game with people who understand and respect the sport.  We need 350lb roided out sweetheartbiscuits who somehow made it through 4 years of college but still are unable to articulate themselves in any intelligible sense spewing hate and nonsense on the field desperately trying to look like a bigger idiot than the last guy after a play/tackle/touchdown, corrupting the next generation of our youth that look up to these 'people' as roll models.

Just my humble opinion.
