Hey whats up guys long time viewer of the forums, my first post.

The question popped into my head while watching a Division 1 high school game briefly on TV thats at Gillette Stadium. I have been a big football fan my whole life. It just grinds my gears as to why a good ammount NFL players still use the old stanard style helmets. It's pratically mandatory for College and High School, why not the NFL?

I don't understand why an NFL player would want to use a stanard one. When I was a senior in High School back in 2008 my school finally started getting the Revolution ones, and man there was a huge difference. They were like wearing a pillow on your head they were really that comfortable. I just don't understand why NFL players choose not to use something that can prevent concussions better then the old style ones.
