I was just on ESPN.com and there was a picture over to the side about part two of an outside the lines story that is airing today. It has to do with "concussions and the concerns from parents with NFL ties." There are 3 helmets pictured 2 generic and one that seems a little familiar! I wonder if they try to take small jabs for fun or if this is strictly marketing because anything Ohio State our fans will click on. It got me! (Sorry I probably shouldnt even be bringing up ESPN, but I didnt contemplate deleting it until I wrote the whole thing up and added the picture. Since i went that far I figured I might as well post it.)
Have to LOVE ESPiN!
I wonder if they are even allowed to use that image because it is part of OSU's trademarked imaging and it isn't an original photo. I don't know how all of that stuff works. Also says Riddell all over it so I am sure they aren't too happy given that there are other helmet companies out there.
I'm pretty sure no football helmet company wants 3 of their helmets as the main picture on an article about concussions....
I would venture to guess the one on the left is Texas and the middle is Boise State. Though, the only obvious one is that one on the right...
