This is really the only way

I have been saying for years the answer is to back in time to leather or basically no helmet but it's about $ not about preventing concussions.

They would have to remove the shoulder pads and thigh pads also.
FWIW, I've had two concussions and the worst one (12 hours amnesia and a hospital visit) was high school football and the other (a common bell ringer) was rugby. I played through the bell ringer for a half, but my captain pulled me at halftime because I did not know where the opposing side (LSU) was from! (We were playing on the Parade Ground.) Too bad, because I had the best half of my rugby life in that one!
