Tom Brady Had Epic Reaction To NFL Banning His Old Helmet

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had the most hilarious reaction to the NFL’s decision to ban his old helmet.

The quarterback took to his Instagram account to express his opinion about the new rules.

“Won a lot of games in that helmet,” TB12 wrote. He has every right to say this. However, the NFL has some strict rules when it comes to head gear and safety. Players need high-quality gear to stay safe on the field, because the games do get rough at times.  

“The NFL and NFL Players Association have added 11 helmets to their joint list of approved equipment for 2019 while eliminating a grace period for other models that have fallen short in laboratory testing, engineers and executives representing both groups said Friday,” wrote Kevin Seifert wrote. “By the end of last season, 32 players were wearing helmets that are now banned.”

NFLPA’s engineering consultant, Dr. Kristy Arbogast, notes that nine of the 11 helmet types they tested are new to the market.

“One of the most exciting things is seeing how our years of testing protocol is really driving innovation,” Arbogast said. “You can see when you see the poster that many of the new helmets that are being introduced to the market are top performers. And so I think through the perspective of the players, it’s phenomenal that we are driving innovation and we are driving design to release products that perform better on the field.”

Brady liked his old helmet, and we really hope that he will get used to this new head gear.

“Yeah, I’ve gone back-and-forth quite a bit,” the quarterback said last preseason. “You know, the old one has just treated me so well over the years, so hopefully I can get grandfathered in. That’s what I’m going to try to do this offseason, see if I can keep playing with it. I love the way it fits. I love the way it feels. It’s been a great helmet for me. So I’ve just been thinking about it and think that’s what works the best for me as we continue on this season.”
