Re: MLB's new helmets need a little bit of work
Its all about safety. They should make them where a beanie w/a propellor if it means better protection from concussions.Originally posted by VP Richard M. NixonI always remember that whatever I have done in the past, or may do in the future, Duke University is responsible one way or the other.

Re: MLB's new helmets need a little bit of work
I saw a picture of a proposed football helmet that looks bigger and goofier then these batting helmets. I don't like the look of it and can understand those protesting on a cosmetic level but i'd still wear em for safety.
If they can reduce the size of the helmet a bit without lessening its effectiveness I think it'll be accepted more.
EDIT: The double flap model looks even worse IMO. Sorry for the huge size

Re: MLB's new helmets need a little bit of work
Thats a stupid looking thing, it just needs a little altering and make it look less like a space helmet. Keith Hernandez was talking about he would never wear something like that and Gary Cohen made a good point saying thats how everyone reacted when helmets were first introduced.
They interviewed David Wright about the helmet and he said if its for his safety he'll wear it, so it looks like he's really scared about getting hit in the head again. So far the players to wear it are Ryan Dempster and David Wright.Mets/Giants/Knicks/Rangers/Manchester United/Notre Dame Football
Never let fear determine who you are. Never let where you came from determine where you are going.Comment

As a kid I thought bike helmets were dumb and no one needed them. Now, if I ride around for exercise or whatnot I can't imagine riding without a helmet. I guess the protection from concussion/death is much greater than being "cool" to me now.Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

Re: MLB's new helmets need a little bit of work
Obviously safety is more important then style, But they look horrible, I wouldn't wear one, there's probably a million in one chance of gettin hit in the head and hurt, and I'd rather not look like a martian when I went to the plate.Comment

Re: MLB's new helmets need a little bit of work
They only look horrible because they are different. Once they are incorporated into our subconscious, they won't look weird. As I said before, I don't care about looks. I care about safety. As long as they don't interfere w/players ability to perform, wear them.Originally posted by VP Richard M.
