The Helmet Project
Football  helmets were developed for an obvious reason: to protect the brains of football players. While the original flimsy leather caps did little more than keep a player's hair out of his eyes, today's helmets are high-tech brain buckets. But to the average fan, a helmet represents much more -- a team's identity is summed up on a helmet's small canvas. This all-encompassing look at the headwear of pro and college gridiron squads is a touchdown for pigskin fans and design aficionados. Pick a team and browse through the evolution from plain and simple design to the current bold and striking logos. With defunct pro football leagues and college teams all the way down to NAIA and Division III represented, the variety of headwear on display is astonishing. So pull your chinstrap tight and dive head first into this huge pile of gridiron nostalgia. (in Football) |
