About The Helmet
Before a single snap, a player suits up piece by piece, shell and cage first, then the chin strap clicked snug under the jaw. Shoulder pads go on like armor, the jersey pulled over them in one smooth tug, and cleats laced tight enough that the turf has nowhere to go but push back. Every piece of gear exists for the same reason: so the game can be played full-speed, full-contact, and full-heart.
