not sure if its just poor memory on my part, but it seems like the new helmets might also be larger now than they used to be.

Yup.
But they still look stupid as hell, and so do the new facemasks. Yes, I know I shouldn't care...

Seriously, I hate those new facemasks. Sam Montgomery's version is also odd looking.

Yeah the one D Allen and Ford have look retarted. The first pics dont look that bad imo

Honestly.
I kind of like them. They'll look a lot better with logos.

Obviously we aren't copying Florida, but Florida is the only team I've noticed that has every player wearing a revolution styled helmet.

Yes they are much better for protection but they also have a couple of other practical advantages.
The ear pcs. air up so they can be easily sized and they won't come out in the game.
The face mask is also easier to change or remove in a medical emergency.

They aren't that new. The ones Ford and Allen had on came out last year but Revolutions have been around for a few years. I remember noticing Florida as one of the first teams with players wearing them but now every one from the pros to pop warner use them. Its all about player preference. Iowa is really the only team I've seen where every player wears one. Maybe Florida too, but I haven't paid that close attention to it.I loved them in high school though, and everyone wanted one. They are a little more expensive than a regular helmet, but are really comfortable and lighter, I found than a standard helmet.

I used to wear one in high school and they are certainly much lighter. It makes it easier on your neck as you are going through the game.

Yeah but they look like shite so.....
