Not only does Aaron Rodgers have a new team, he also has a new helmet. The only problem? He hates the new helmet.
Rodgers had to change helmets after the National Football League banned Rodgers’ preferred Schutt Air XP Q11 helmet. A year ago, Rodgers wore this helmet while the NFL contemplated a decision. It was listed as “not recommended” for player use last season, but was not banned. This season, the model’s use is prohibited.
Rodgers expressed his frustration with the league’s decision on Tuesday.
“I can’t stand the [new] helmet,” Rodgers said. “I’ve worn a Schutt for 20 years and somehow it finally didn’t pass the safety standards.”
Rodgers is a tough guy to please so the hope is he finds something before the Pittsburgh Steelers season opener on Sept. 7th
