High school and college players are required to wear; helmet, mouth piece, shoulder pads, hip pads, a butt pad, thigh pads, knee pads, and clears. A lot of the time you'll see nfl players not using their knee pads and or thigh pads bc they aren't required
Very much so. Players are allowed to tackle ball carriers and obstruct opponents with their bodies, with no padding at all.
Football players need a lot of accessories and equipment to play. They need a mouth guard, helmet, thigh, hip, shoulder, and knee padding, and gloves.
The football player's padding was bulky and heavy.
Originally there was very little padding. Leather helmets were about the only protection the earliest players had. no shoulder pads.they did however have a slightly primitive "cup".

The standard for college football clothing in the padding that is necessary for the protection of the players. College football clothing is not different from the professional football clothing or even the little league athletic wear for the contact sport. The helmet is also a standard addition to the college football clothing. But, basically, it is the extra padding that is required to protect the body from injury that could occur in a contact sport such as football that validates the proper wear for the sport.
In the 1870s, football players did not wear the protective pads that are common in modern football. Instead, they often played in minimal clothing, such as wool jerseys and knickerbockers, without any specialized protective gear. The game was much rougher, and injuries were common, but players relied on their toughness and skill rather than on padding for protection. As the sport evolved, the need for protection led to the eventual development of more advanced football gear in later years.
