So, the truth is. There are a variety of reasons why NFL players wear different helmets. At the most basic level, it comes down to effectiveness, style, and comfort.
They want to feel safe and secure, while not wearing anything too cumbersome. And definitely not wearing anything that is an eye sore.
And at the most granular level, the variance from player to player is the result of intense regulation from the league and a constant push for innovation from the manufacturers.
Today we present, The REAL REASON Every NFL Player Wears a DIFFERENT Helmet.

Basically due to comfort, safety and style , saved you 10 minutes
thank you
yea this channel is the worst
Exactly...pointless video
You mean 10 minutes and 16 seconds
Thanks lmao
Nfl : hey we have safer helmets for you
Players : I’m gonna act like you didn’t say that
I assume it’s because different players like how different ones feel on their heads
I know I'm not the only one who laughed while reading this😂😂
@@camowolf4975 yea 😂
I think it also has to do with the style/look. The likes differ from player to player.
@@LilHowie yes
Peyton squash headed manning enter the chat
I never knew this was going to be a video that probably took a while.
I honestly thought he was going to talk about the different positions wearing different helmets not the way this went
well that's mainly because there aren't specific helmets for different positions. mostly just differing facemasks for different positions.
I honestly thought it was going to focus on the face mask differences.
@@random123311 Yep but different helmets are better at different collisions. The speedflex is really good for head-on collisions, so its preferred by linemen, whereas the F7 is best for back and side, so receivers wear them.
Why players wear different helmets: because they want to
I still can’t believe players still use chinstraps like Aaron Rogers. You’d think 1 helmet to the chin would hurt enough to switch to a real chinstrap.
Maybe because the face mask 9/10 blocks the chin
Had that happen in pop-warner and immediately switched to the chunky strap
My helmet in high school was an older model that weighed a lot & because of that I felt like my hits were controlled a lil more and not as bad…
When I got to college they gave us the option of older models or new revolution helmets fit specifically to me and my position.
As a Free Safety I chose the revolution helmet but it felt way more dangerous. Here’s why ⬇️
1) Due to it being ALOT lighter, I moved quicker, making my hits harder an more explosive.. (not bad)
2) With how much padding it had, I felt absolutely nothing helmet to helmet wise & that made me reckless to the point of just cracking everyone including myself a lot more violently because I knew I wouldn’t feel anything so the little fear I barely had already was completely fucking gone…
When you take someone who loves to hit and give them an added safety cushion, they lose fear to the point of endangering themselves and not realize.
Thankfully I never badly injured myself or another player with head blows 🙏
When I played in the Adult AZFL League in Arizona I stated out with the Schutt Air Advantage. Then to the REVO. The Revo lasted for a week before I was back to to Air Advantage. In that league you had to pay to play and supply your own pads and helmets. By the time I stopped in 2016 I had used the previous 2 helmets along with the Revo Speed, Schutt DNA, The Schutt Ion 4D, Schutt Vengance and the Riddell speed flex. the Schutt Dna, Schutt Ion 4D and Schutt Vengance I bought when they 1st hit the market I miss my Riddell Speed Flex, Schutt Vengance, Schutt ion 4D and Schutt Air advantage the most. the original ion 4D I miss the most with it's silver padding. I felt unstoppable in that helmet as both a Linebacker and Free Safety.
TPS getting desperate for content now a days
Just give everybody Speedflex’s😂
Or f7
They need those first edition old era leather shits to come back throwback OG love...
Already knew all of this, but it was a great breakdown of the subject. Looks like the NFL wants to mitigate lawsuits from concussions by forcing players into wearing newer models. Hopefully lawsuits won’t bleed over to Riddell, Schutt, Vicis etc.
Imagine if Antonio brown wore a better helmet he probably wouldn’t be acting the way he does today
I played ball in the 80s. The old helmets had a way of not protecting you on impact. Everyone always thinks its the impact of the slamming together. Ive been hit plenty where the impact was inside the helmet. like an explosion went off. Thats where the concusions and brain damage would occur. Ive hit were i got a neck stinger, or sore shoulder, or even upper back. But the collision and impact explosion inside the helmet, rings your bell, its this that makes these new helmets so important. You hit the wrong way youll break your neck, no helmet can save you, its the explosion inside the helmet, that you try to prevent that these new helmets are needed, use them.
Same in the early 2000s, we were re-certifying old helmets up until Ridelle Revolution models came out.
I wore a brand named BIKE
Had to wear 4 different helmets in the 4 years I played
My favorite was the revo speed from 2010. Comfortable. And just looked cool. 😁😎
I’ve worn a lot of helmets in my life and my favorite has been the Soeed flex. As a kid I used the old Brady helmet because TB12 the goat. I’ve worn the revo helmet for middle school that stafford and Payton had for most of their careers. Than the Speed helmet in high school. Now I’m in semi pro and I had to buy my own gear so you already know I had to get the Speed Flex😂😂💯
I had to switch helmets from junior to senior year, they definitely fit different. I totally see players preference
To change the color of the helmet, they can use a wrap similarly car vinyl wrap. They can produce cut outs and would be easy to put on
Very hard to apply in a timely manor
There is also a rule that states that any helmet allowed must also be
Finally I’ve been wondering about this
Top 10 players in sports who switched positions after they got drafted and changed their career for the better
vicis zero1 is my personal helmet, that’s more for fit tho, it’s like perfect on my head. at my high school we don’t really care what helmet u wear. we literally have a guy on our team using some old all star helmet
the different jersey styles are what I live for in madden. I love mixing and matching
For me that Riddell Speed Flex helmet with an Oakley Prizm visor is all I need. Feel comfortable and looks fresh i ain't gonna lie.
Yeah I like how speedflexes look and f7s
My favourite helmet is the riddell something I forgot what its called but guys like michael pittman jr. And robert woods wear that helmet it looks very satifsying to me
That's the Schutt F7
The vicis doesn’t even look bad
Players are just gonna make excuses it depends on ur taste
It’s hideous
@@jacksonglanville4116 you probably like a riddell speed
I miss the old revo speeds, players don’t really wear those anymore it’s more the speed flex which is not bad. My favorite players helmet is OBJ
I am a Panthers fan and don't at all care for the Bucs, but I must admit, the old classic "creamsicle" unis are sexy as hell. I wish they'd bring them back at least just so I'd have a better uni to look at when they play the Panthers twice per year lol.
I also really really dig the old school Broncos look too with the lighter shade of blue and the D/horse logo on the helmets. So much cooler than what they have now. These days, those style unis like the Broncos and Buccs have now just looks dated in a bad way. Like, they look like they're just pretty much stuck in that early 2000s "cool/edgy/tough" kind of aesthetic with their font designs and color schemes (as are the Panthers unis, I'll readily admit).
When the Rams moved to LA and went back to their older color scheme, it improved their look so so much. The same thing happened with New England (just for the record, the Pats' throwback unis and helmets are probably some of my favorites ever tbh) with their simpler, more clean design they now sport. Many other teams could definitely take a note out of their playbook, so to speak, and bring back some other classic, clean, simple design choices that are also modern. It would really freshen up some old organizations for sure and bring some new life into the league.

That was a long time ago

Bro u were like the 40th comment lol
AB's old helmet just look cleaner to me these new helmets are ugly
nah the speed flex sexy
Aaron rodgers' vicis looks identical to that old helmet style
But I agree with you👌 calvin, davante and julio's helmet just looks so classic, they have that style
VSR2/4 were classic, hated the look of the Evolution
I‘ve always worn a schutt, when i needed a new helmet i tried on some riddells but they didnt fit my head as good as the schutts did, probably a lot of nfl players have the same reason
Bro those schutt helmets look like skating helmets. Thank goodness I traded mine for a speed flex before the season started 😂
What a random group of players for the thumbnail lol
nfl:no more throwbacks
miami dolphins 2020:ima bout to end this mans whole career
Helmets about half the weight of the ones I wore in the 80s 90s.
Brady actually raved about the transition to the Speedflex. Why y’all lyin?
thats what im saying, literally everyone wears the speedflex lmao
The most common one is the Ridell Speed Flex
Ive worn helmets before Speed Flex was more comfortable Vicis was also comfortable but the vision weird to me
@Harvey speedflex clean wtf u talking about
The coolest too
F7 is gaining steam in popularity
I like Schutt.
we need the nfl ranking for this week
I wish they would test the Ridell helmet model for I wore in the mid 1960s.
Test the most comment helmet from each decade!!!
The NFL is putting on a ridiculous show with CTE. The fact is that NO helmet can protect a player from concussion. The brain sits inside a jelly inside the skull. Concussions occur when the brain shifts inside that jelly and smashes into the inside of the skull causing bruising. Helmets cannot ever stop that from the outside of the skull.
Like I play high school football and the pads in the helmet sometimes just give me a headache so sometimes I just want to buy my own helmet lol
It’s not against the rules
I play football and my go to’s are the schutt f7 and the riddle speed flex
It even happens in highschool there’s kids who could’ve had top of the line helmets but we choose older ones that we grew up playing with
My favorite helmet is the riddel speedflex
I haven’t watched tps in a while but I watched this video only because I’m shitting and needed something to watch to pass the time😂😂😂
Here's an idea: make Vicis helmets with the throwback logos, that will solve the problem right there when it comes to safety on throwback jersey night.
The rule doesn’t exist anymore.
Omg, ive always wondered that! I like CeeDee Lambs helmet type
His helmet is a schutts f7
@@chengbros6101 thx
@@camowolf4975 also dalton warts the same helmet as lamb
@@chengbros6101 Yep
@@chengbros6101 So does hill
I actually watch players helmet ever Sunday like Tom Brady used to wear a vsr4 now he where’s a Riddell speed flex. Precision fit and Allen ,wentz ,dak and more and I wear a riddell speed which Mitch tribisky, Watson,gropplo and goff
Noice
I prefer xenith helmets. Both the X2E + and the Shadow.
I have always noticed that
First off Antonio Brown wore the Schutt air advantage which is much older and worse when it comes to protection
I just blindly clicked this 😅😅😅
its literally just personal preference
Yes thats true
One reason is that some are heavier than others so heavier ones are mostly used by lineman and lighter ones are used by position players
Wow I actually wanted to know this thanks no sarcasm
IVE NEEDED THIS FOREVER I HAVE THE WEIRDEST LOVE FOOR FOOTBALL HELMETS
There are large groups of us out here! I've got over 100 dating from the 60's and up.
@@scottpetersonwesternhs9905 nice what era is ur favourite
@@wildbroom I'm all about the suspension helmets and up. I would say from about 1965 through the mid 90's. I'm not a Riddell guy, but you can talk to me about a nice AF2 or M155 all day long!!! For facemasks, my all time favorite is the Dungard 205 (Bradshaw in SB IX), followed by the Dungard 105 (Griese SB VIII).
@@scottpetersonwesternhs9905 i like the dungard 140 and am a fan of the schutt f7 my favourite part being the top part with the square shaped cut outs. a bit of a mix in time but still amazing headwear.
Happy Holidays.
Thank you...

Most generic idea known to man every video will be titled that, im going to take your first name for that Vic
@@DontBeMad911 I would definitely enjoy that video and I’m taking my name back
Brady and Brown are just old Dudes that like the old Helmets more than the new ones
I LIKE THE RIDDEL SPEEDFLEX THATS MY HELMET
Fax, there kinda expensive tho
lol ofc antonio brown is on the thumbnail
I wear a riddell revolution and it is the most comfortable
So the NFL, being a multi billion dollar industry, can't make helmets that are in accordance with safety regulations in throwback colors and logos? A real Commissioner worth a damn would get it done. Goodell needs to go. He ain't worth a shit.
They do have safer helmets but players choose to wear the old helmets
Cool
Today is my Birthday 🥳
Happy birthday
@@kennystoweprimetime489 thx
Aye congrats bro 🎉🎉
@@blakebored yep
Just do a vinyl wrap like on cars to change the helmet up.
That’s a really good idea
Would be tough for linemen would probably peel off before halftime. Would be cool but NFL teams have the money to have a few it would be cool to see different helmets every week
@@jckanza8121 it doesn't peel off cars too easily.
@@akwasiregister9529 im thinking more the rubbing from the contact but idk im definitely no expert im all for spicing things up
really interesting
Rodgers invest in Vicis but still uses his pre war era helmet. Sounds good
Nothing is better than a speed flex
Vision and fit
Its because different ones are best for different people like if you have certain head problems then you will get a different helmet There time saved
I know why because their heads are different sizes
what!!!!! My boy qfb
*I might be a little biased Sayin' this, but I think the Miami Dolphins 🐬 Throwbacks are the BEST outta the NFL* #PhinsUp🐬👇 #MDF4LIFE 🐬🏈🌴🌞💯🔥
Haven’t even watch the video yet and it’s going be preface and different type of heads
It would be nice to see an investment towards Helmet technology given by the NFL! I mean it sucks that Vicus probably will not be a profitable business and may not be able to continue producing the quality of their products considering the overall health ramifications! I'll state the obvious football is very dangerous with head injuries being at the forefront! A business like the NFL that is astronomically profitable should be held way more accountable for the overall safety of their employees/players. Technology generated to improve this should come at a cost to the NFL! I'm sure there is a budget $ set aside by the NFL for this, but I guarantee it's not enough and when a company invests and succeeds in this they should be supported and maybe the government should step in and force the NFL to support it! I mean overall they created a product that costs X amiunt of $ to make then in turn it is sold at a markup that is agreeable but the investment in the technology to create this product has obviously outweighed the sale price at the end! The NFL should have to pay for the costs of this technology!
Day one of asking TPS to do every teams most surprising players of 2020
Forget about the Eagles kelly green throwback! With the NFL's current rules, we will never see the bluejay blue and canary yellow jerseys ever again! :'( lol
Crazy how TB12 has always stuck his neck out for AB
Possibly Stefan diggs
Speedflex or f7
Hmmm
They shape it to your head circumference.
Bring back the single to no bar
My old old BIKE helmet
I thought it was about the different face guards....
Riddle Speedflex
Larry Fitzgerald watching this be like 💧👁👄👁💧
Schutt F7 is fucking dope
Chargers helmets and unis are the best
I wonder why Aaron Rodgers partners with vicis and doesn’t wear there helmets
One of my Riddell buddies told me that he likes the 2 point chinstrap configuration and the only manufacturer that accommodates that is Schutt. I have no idea how true that is...
I think the roundest HELMETS look better, there probably the bad ones too...
I like the ones that are round but have points in the back
@@corkythehippoman Yeah, they look aerodynamic!!! 🏃🏿♂️
I got these special sneakers... they let you jump off buildings with no problem. If you don't believe this... you shouldn't believe in concussion proof helmets.
I miss the red bills helmet
I don’t get why some players want to wear the not safe old helmets like the newer safer ones look so cool
Its personal preference and experience
The Rams were my favorite helmet in the 60s.Those things they wear now suck.
I’m still wearing a speed flex
What are the chances that AB tried that helmet shit just to get dropped from the Raiders? Also, since there isn’t many equipment checks, what are the chances there are more then just 2 helmet speakers on any given team?
NFL has crews monitoring for such things at each game. Considering you have to connect the speakers each day, it just isn’t worth the effort.
I think Aaron Rodgers has the oldest NFL helmet I don't even think ever seen him with a mouthpiece
The Vicis looks like a copy of the Riddell models
lol not even close to true
