Helmets and padding have dramatically changed as well.

Less weight but more protection.

In HS we used to roll up the sleeves when we had the longer ones. Didn't want the opposition to have anything to grab onto.

You're kidding... you mean there are improvements to sporting equipment?

What's the point of this post?

I remember when all the college jerseys were floppy half-shirts. Now they're like body condoms.

Anybody remember the "Bosworth" type neck braces?

Opposite thing in basketball... Remember the butt-huggers the players used to wear? And the skin tight jerseys that actually fit?

Now the players could fit three of themselves into a single uniform

I'm reading a book about the 1925 pottsville maroons....now THOSE were some different jerseys/pads.
