Yes! My nephew broke his hand when it got smashed between 2 helmets and lost most of the season. Subsequently, when my son started playing, we invested in a good pair of gloves. As a lineman, his hands are either up to pass block or trying to rip through as a defensive end. With all the padding in his gloves, he has banged his hands on helmets, pads, facemaaks....and is fine. If you play center, though, you may not want to wear a glove on the hand you grip the ball with. If the gloves are bulky , it can be hard to feel the laces and have a good exchange.
gloves
there are lots of different football gloves for center/linemen heres a link to a page with football gloves make sure to scroll down that's were the lineman gloves are i would personally recommend the nfl equipment smash football gloves (one of my teammates had this and the grip was nice) (however i do play wide receiver and corner back so i am not an expert, but i do know a lot about football equipment) a lot of centers also wear half finger gloves which are on this page http://www.weplaysports.com/football/gloves/
he wears cutters
They wear their teams kit and then gloves that are used to save the ball.
some wear no gloves i play long snapper and wear receiver gloves (because i also play wide receiver and DB) and they work fine for me there are no gloves just for long snapping just wear whatever you like
