I think the Helmets have gotten better.  But I feel like looking at the players' padding now compared to the 90s and 00s, these 2020 pads look like they don't do squat to protect a player's body.  They just look nicer...

pads are discouraged. We must be faster, flexier, and more aerodynamic so we can launch ourselves like missiles into each other's knees....you know, "tackling".

I'm tellin' ya...  They keep saying that the padding is better now than they were in the 90s...  But, I took physics...  How the hell is having less crunchablity with harder plastics supposed to be safer on the body??

The 90s and 00s padding was bulky, but you could tell it was protecting better...  Now, these guys don't even look like they are wearing shoulder pads, much less any other padding...  How is that safer??  

Does anyone have a link or something, if I'm wrong, I'd love to be educated.

Nothing ever looks good with color on same color.

Teal on Black is nice.  Teal on White?  2007/2008 Jaguars approve of that as well.  I'm not sure why people don't like teal on white...

Worst look?  The mustard on mustard back in the bortles day...  oof.  That was really bad.
