Learn More About The Football helmet Drawing
The football helmet is one of a football player's most important pieces of equipment. It protects his skull and brain from serious injuries, such as concussions.
Football helmets have four main parts - a hard outer shell, thick interior padding, a metal facemask, and a chinstrap to keep it in place.
Some football helmets also have visors to protect the eyes, radio transmitters for communication, or sensors which record information when impact occurs.
While different forms of football have been around for hundreds of years, the football helmet did not come into use until the 1890s.
Early football helmets were made of leather. Plastic helmets were invented in the 1930s, and became the rule in professional football by the early 1950s.

Around the same time, teams began to display their logos on their helmets. The first team to do so was the Los Angels Rams. Their logo was a ram's horn. As of 2018, only one NFL team, the Cleveland Browns, abstains from using a helmet logo.
The helmet itself is also a logo, representing professional, college, and high school football.
Fall leaves and football helmets are often pictured together. It is especially prominent on clothing and party supplies during the Super Bowl season in February of each year.
