Five fresh helmet designs will be introduced for the 2024 NFL season, which the league claims are safer than any helmets previously used.
The NFL and NFLPA declared today that these new models have shown better results than ever before in the league’s safety assessments.
Moreover, six older helmet models are now prohibited as they no longer meet the league’s safety standards.
The NFL is also introducing more position-specific helmets, aiming to shield players from the head impacts that are more common in certain positions.
Details regarding helmet safety test outcomes will be displayed in all 32 locker rooms to aid players in selecting which helmet model to wear this season.
