Brady Went Back To His (Illegal Next Year) Old Helmet After The Bye/Playoffs/Super Bowl

[bresna]

I was re-watching the Super Bowl tonight and I noticed that Brady was wearing his old - illegal next year - helmet. I thought that was weird, so I played back the two playoff games. Both were played with the old helmet. Hmmm...

Well, a Google search seems to show that Brady switched back to his old helmet after the bye. Weird but notable. For someone who is supposed to be superstitious, it is notable.

Makes complete sense why he would then from the superstitious standpoint

Peyton didn’t need an illegal helmet to win.

It’s been said that he’s going to petition the league to allow him to continue wearing it.

Peyton didn’t need a helmet.

Fixed.

Peyton’s forehead should of been illegal. One giant mirror that blinded opposing defenses.

Gostkowski wore the same old style helmet as TFB in the soup.

#HelmetGate?

Brady said there’s nothing wrong with the new “hat”, it just looks ugly

The old helmet for Brady might not be a matter of "superstition" as much as simple comfort.

One of the locals (Curran, maybe) said that Brady feels that he hears the communications from the coaches better in the old helmet. I can't find any link to it, but maybe someone will be able to second what I've just posted.

Jared Goff saw that and is wondering if he can also get an exemption.

“You’ve seen something a certain way for a long period of time, so I like as much vision as possible with the peripheral vision,” he said in August. “It’s all important — it all matters — so, yeah, just making sure it’s kind of similar to what the experience has always been.”

Tom Brady might be ditching new helmet for the rest of the season | Boston.com

Meh, the title of the article lol.

Let players wear whatever helmet they fit it’s comfortable.
Such a multi billion dollar company should be able to make custom helmets for most of their players.

Not surprised. Father Time may be struggling to catch up with the guy, but he's still an older player and it's not a shock that a 40+ year old man can get a little set in his ways.

increased peripheral vision ... he got another ring out of that helmet.

Peyton didn’t need an illegal helmet to win.

On second thought, maybe he should have tried one so he at least could have ended up with more SB wins than his brother.

Peyton didn’t win.

Fixed.
