Douglas most likely makes the best youth shoulder pads but they are heavy and extremely expensive. I am an ex pro football player and I used Riddell "Power" pads in college and the pros. When I researched looking for a youth comparison I found the Riddell EVX which to me looks and feels similar to my old "powers." My son loves his. So for the money pick Riddell EVX but if you are rich go with Douglas.
sam carnivale made the shoulder pad in the year 1802
the straps hook into the slots on the bottom of the pad it has it on each side
your helment, the reason is because head injuries can be far worse than shoulder injuries,if you think otherwise what would you rather a career ending concusion or a season ending shoulder injury!!
Shoulder pads theigh pads knee pad helmet
Obviously a Helmet and a shoulder Pad. You will also need good grades.
to play American football you need a helmet shoulder pads jock strap football pants with knee pads thigh pads hip pads and a tail pad
Riddell's are good, but they are better at Helmets. Schutt and Adams are the leading shoulder pad makers. I use Schutt Flex pads. They are awesome! My opinion: Go with schutt.
