joeynach Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I noticed tonight AJ is wearing one of those new sleaker batting helmets for 06 that all the other teams are wearing. But I noticed only AJ is wearing it on our team, none of the others. I actually kind of like them, I wish everyone would wear em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I like them on some teams, but I think I prefer the traditional ones on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pods70Rowand33 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I personally do not like the new helmets. If they were made for protective purposes, then I would think it woudl be a requirement for everyone to wear them. I agree with sticking with the old helmets.

SleepyWhiteSox Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 AJ's wearing it??? I missed today's game, but I was originally very proud that our team wasn't wearing the women's softball helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed today's game, but I was originally very proud that our team wasn't wearing the women's softball helmet. I feel the same exact way, I've noticed more and more teams switching to these helmets this year and I was so damn happy that the Sox were sticking with the traditional ones. Hopefully it's just AJ who'll be wearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 If it's more comfortable for them, I have no problem with the helmet. I don't have to wear it, and if I was in a position to have to wear it (being on a MLB roster), I'd be too happy to care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldmember Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 those are some seriously fugly helmets. i'm all for changing the helmets if the change makes them look better, or safer. this helmet does neither. it stems from the company (can't remember who makes) not being able to but labels on helmet so they did the different design so it gets company recognition, seems like they chose the ugliest design so there's no mistaking them...

Tannerfan Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 If they offer better venilation, then I say stick with the old ones. I prefer my team to be a little hot headed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
