I noticed softball added a stripe like a football helmet would have and numbers on the side

Doesn't matter as much for baseball, but for contact sports like football you can argue its a safety concern. Matte finishes tend to be more sticky during collisions, while glossier finishes deflect or slide off contact a lot more. Basically what that means is matte could result in more head injuries.


Yeah, the friction required to matter in a high speed impact would be astronomical. It’s not.
