A football helmet is a type of protective headgear used mainly in gridiron football, although a structural variation has occasional use in Australian rules football. It consists of a hard plastic shell with thick padding on the inside, a face mask made of one or more plastic-coated metal bars, and a chinstrap.
Football helmets bear the logo of the team and the team colors. By the mid-1980s, the football helmet had become a complex, highly engineered piece of equipment. The inside of the helmets was lined with foam padding and plastic pods, or an inflatable layer designed to absorb the shock of impact and create as tight as fit as possible.
Modern football helmets incorporate several features to reduce the risk of concussions. These include improved padding systems, shock-absorbing materials, and enhanced helmet shells. The padding inside the helmet is designed to mitigate the force of impacts and reduce the acceleration experienced by the brain during a collision.
A review by the UCI found that the head sock is considered “non-essential” to the helmet and therefore goes against regulation article 1.3.033. The head sock is banned as of April 2.
Sources are unsure as to who first designed air bladders for football helmets but Dr. Richard Schneider of the University of Michigan Hospital is reported to have believed that air was the most effective way to protect against blunt force. With this theory in mind, he invented an inflatable bladder for use inside a football helmet.
In 2001, Bike was the official helmet supplier of the XFL American football league. Almost every player in the XFL wore a helmet made by the company. In 2003, Bike was part of the Russell Corporation, which is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. In the first quarter of 2017, Russell Brands announced they would be closing down Bike.
