Are knee pads not a thing anymore?

Was a penalty when I played. Kids out there now basically wearing shorts.

Nope, they trade speed for protection all parts of equipment.

It’s been that way for 10 years. No pads at all, the “pants” are a foot above their knees. They think it looks cool.

I think pants come with very tiny built in pads. They pull them up but technically they are there.

Time bust out the 1970’s basketball shorts for football.

Probably because knee pads don’t really do anything

Nobody uses their mouthpiece either

From the product description. Pads are build in.

Thats because our kit was used to strike your opponent. Its a different game now physically

I also see a lot more dudes wearing 3/4 length or full length compression leggings to improve leg circulation.
I have to wear some at times for venous insufficiency.
I had some venous ablations done in 2018, but they came back.

Definitely. I played on the o-line and we all wore padded gloves for "punching" the opponent. The game was much more violent then.

my kids play soccer so my vernacular has shifted. We were told you use your facemask and helmet as a weapon and drive through someone. Literally told “go hurt somebody”Posted on 11/15/25 at 2:01 pm to rattlebucket
