    Teams that use OLD or NEW Batting Helmets ?

    Hey guys,
    I know contracts change year by year with Batting helmets but I would appreciate any info on what teams only use one type as I am working on a Total gear edit Version of Knights OS V.1 rosters .
    Thanks again

    I could be wrong but with regards to the helmets I'm pretty sure there are no contracts as you mention and the style worn itself seems to be player preference as I have seen a variance in pretty much all the games I've seen...

        I can tell you right now it is player preference. The Sox have only a select few that wear the new airflow helmets. It's not every player on one team with one or the other.

            I know for a fact not every Sox player has a new helmet. Paul Konerko has never worn one. Off the top of my head, Pierzynski, Nix, Jones, Beckham, & Quentin wear them. Not too sure about Vizquel.

              Pretty sure the Cubbies have all old style, been like that for awhile now.

                Cubs have old style only and not a single player on the red sox wears or has ever worn the new style.(Outside of spring training)

                  the yanks, red sox and as everyone else said the cubs (which I did not know) use the old style. in last years games it would not let you put anyone on any of the teams like that to a new helmet. teams that have two colors on their helmets like the mets and rockies require every player to wear a new helmet (though you could give them an old one in game last year). not sure this year but the marlins also had a very subtle two tone on the new helmets last year. I know the braves are player choice. that is all I know on the helmets at this point. I am sure I and everyone else will learn more as the season goes on.

                      I think both the Mets and D-Back have new helmets.

                        You may be correct on the mets as Jacobs had the old style and in game his helmet was Black .
                        So I check in real game pics and his is New style also0 Yanks and R sox have no option to switch

                          Yadi is the only Cardinal with the new helmet.

                            Actually, yesterday Francisco Cervelli wore the new helmet during the Yankees game so it's not a team wide thing. I believe it's preference as has been said.

                              Derek Lee wears (or has worn) an airflow helmet. Definitely preference based and not team wide.
