I think he means helmet visors. But I'm not sure what the new rule is, our coaches always told us you could have them but they had to be clear. Pretty sure it was UIL rule to because I never see players with tinted ones.

[kaorder1999]

im sure hes talking about the rule where you have to have a medical prescription from an eye doctor stating that for medical purposes you need a visor on your helmet. That has been a rule for a couple of years but UIL wants to strictly enforce it now

[Emerson1]

I don't get why, as long as it is clear whats the big deal? They should focus more on players being recruited, not pieces of plastic.

A visor would keep them from getting poked in the eye and
needing a doctor in the first place.

Anybody that has ever played HS football knows how dirty it
gets at the bottom of the pile.

That's the whole point though...

Ya see, Gilmer's gunna be doin' a whole lotta eye-pokin' this year, and the UIL is making damn sure they get away with it... visors would kind of stop that tactic in its tracks...

Gotta look out for them Buckeyes man...

That's why Barry Sanders wore a dark visor.(so they couldn't see
his eyes)

Was it just me or did every member of Dallas Carter have shaded
visors in Friday Night Lights???

well in the book it actually did talk about them having visors in the game

for those of you that got to watch Carter play that year they had all sorts of little things like visors and fancy arm pads. They had so many little gadgets. They looked as good as they played.

Only thing I wore that was fancy was an under armor shirt and UA long socks with my nike gloves.

Is that the year they won state, but had it striped away a couple weeks later? Or was that even Carter at all??? It may have been a Houston school, come to think of it.
