This sounds like a bad idea to me. Just play the game like it's always been played.
This sounds like a bad idea to me. Just play the game like it's always been played. The purist argument against technological advances in sports safety equipment fails when you consider that sports today aren't played "like [they've] always been played." Football players are bigger, ski racers are faster, the physical consequences of playing many of these games is greater than ever. If you want to skinny football players down to where a 200-pounder is a big guy, then fine, feel free to go back to the leather helmets without the face guards while you're at it.
I agree that sports are changing. Athletes are bigger and stronger, and a little extra protection probably doesn't hurt anyone. As for needing custom cases...check out Nashville custom case. Cool people who do great work.
