What safety gear do they wear to play football?

Answer 1

Well, start with the basics.Your gunna need to get a helmet, which they're is a variety of companies to choose from Schutt would be my personal favorite company but Riddel is also an outstanding award winning company.Once you have that your going to need shoulder pads which are sized up to fit your shoulder width. When you have that you will need leg pads, Thigh pads (2), Tailbone pad (1), Hip pads (2) and Knee Pads (2). Once you have that's you can also get additive things to add to your equipment. If you play offense I recommend wearing a back plate which attaches directly onto your shoulder pads (Douglas) is my personal favorite brand for rib and back pads.Also a QB should wear full rib pads to protect from face masks to the ribs.Line backers ( generally middle) can get a butterfly restrictor to protect from straining your neck. Wear a mouth piece to protect your teeth and wear a hard cup chin guard.

You can also wear a number of braces, for knees, arms, wrists, biceps and of course the killer, ankles.
