A cool new safety-first FB helmet

ESPN has a story on a great, cool, independently-invented new football helmet that could, and definitely should, be the future of safety headgear in the NFL.

Independently invented in that it doesn't come from somebody like Riddell.

And, the cool factor? It's made of five separate panels. And each of the panels can be replaced separately.

One thing not mentioned by Paul Lukas in his article on the Bulwark football helmet and its customization?

Football could follow baseball's home and road caps with home and road helmets.

There's NFL marketing $$ there, too!
