Wright is going back to using the old helmets.

He's does not like the new ones and who can blame him.

I think the new MLB helmets can use used to store cold drinks in them too for those hot July days.

I think Rawlings got the idea from the Flintstones.

They are hideous. I'll buy my Cabrera helmet now and forget about ever buying one of those horrible looking helmets.

I think they should wear football style helmets.

I think the beaning shrunk Wright's head. Can't be the helmet.

It doesn't look that much, if any, bigger than the older helmets - the ones that were worn up until just, what, two or three years ago?

I have a couple of the new helmets - not the new new helmet, I mean the (now) old new helmet...Conor Jackson and Felipe Lopez, from this year - and they may be structurally sound, but man, when you're holding them, they just feel like toys! I can't believe they could ever provide anything like protection from a high-90s mph fastball.

Here's a closer look. Larger than the current cool-flo helmets.

I thought this comment was interesting:

The helmet has drawn some barbs. Chicago Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempsterwore it and said it felt like “my own bobblehead day.”
