Maxman Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 A bit of a strange question but does anyone know how to buy a facemask like Tuck wears? My son wants one for high school football and was told he can wear it but says he can't find anyone that sells it. Does anyone know where to get it online? Thanks.

He was actually asked this in an interview. He said it was custom-made, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointman Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Supposedly its a custom piece. I searched with the main facemask vendors, don't see anything that is the same as that. Schutt and Riddell don't have it.. and usually it would be from one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC36 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 after some research, it appears to be specially made for originally Chris Canty, but is now also worn by Tuck. It is made by Schutt, but they dont have that exact one on their site. maybe email them and they can tell you more. http://www.schuttsports.com/aspx/Sport/ProductListing.aspx?sp=3&id=86&cid=156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks everyone. They need to start mass-producing these things, high school kids will make their coaches buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I don't see a reason for any high school or college player to be wearing this, such limited visibility it seems. The only reason he's wearing it is to protect his injured neck from getting ringed all the time. If he didn't have the injury he wouldn't be wearing it. But it is high school and looks are important lol, so you're right, they probably will start making them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a lineman, it provides much needed protection in the trenches and doesn't really adversely affect your play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is high school and looks are important lol, so you're right, they probably will start making them. My son plays the line, so the visibility isn't as much of an issue. But they will probably make even a modified version. Think about it, facemasks are bought by the team, so they are pretty standard. When you go to sporting good stores they have gloves for every position. Now they are kind enough to combine OL and DL into on pair of gloves, lol. But if they come out with a face mask that the kids want, the schools are going to start buying them... I am going to email the company as per Joe's link above...

My son said if someone puts his hand on my face and I am wearing that, he is going to break his finger. Seems like good incentive to avoid hands to the face!

High school and college, albeit as a wr/cb in high school and WR/S in college, so my opinion might not be worth as much as a lineman's. However, there's clearly a reason tuck has only chosen to use it as a last resort and why there's only two players in the entire national football league using it.

From pop to college... all the coaches teach "a man puts his fingers on your mask... you grab his wrist and shake your head left to right and watch all his fingers break". So a little space is good.

HessStation Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Funny, I remember in High School Deion was like the first guy to come out wearing this face-mask and running to the sports store to get it special ordered. At the time I was literally the coolest kid on the field. What? I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bportah Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 My son wants one for high school football and was told he can wear it but says he can't find anyone that sells it. Does anyone know where to get it online? Maxman, I was just looking for these too, and I found them at http://www.sportsunlimitedinc.com. The site says they're backordered, but I called the company and they told me they're getting a shipment in on Monday (2/5/12) so I should get mine by Wednesday or Thursday. If you're still looking, they have them to fit on the Schutt Ion 4D and DNA Pro +. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen X Jet Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 After hearing him try to formulate a sentence yesterday, I imagine the facemask is designed to prevent further traumatic brain injury. He sounds like Rocky after 15 rounds with Drago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool./ He actually brought his Algebra grade from a C to a B+ so I promised the tard I would find him one. Problem is he has a Revo Speed Heltmet and Im pretty sure the mask is made by Schutt.
