Well it looks like they stopped making them around 2011. So it's a temporary fix at best unless he's only going to be playing for two more seasons anyways. Back in 2014, Schutt explained why it discontinued the Air Advantage. Basically, the technology had been surpassed by other helmets. Via ksat.com: "We discontinued making the helmet three years ago because current helmet technology had moved past it. The AiR Advantage was the last varsity helmet made by Schutt that featured traditional foam padding. That material, which is used by most other helmet manufacturers, does not perform as well as the TPU Cushioning we now use in all of our varsity helmets." https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/08/antonio-brown-helmet-schutt-discontinued-raiders-air-advantage Edited August 13, 2019 by Dome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 It would be fitting if AB got his helmet from eBay. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time it was produced was 2011, so he could buy himself a few years before changing for good. Edited August 13, 2019 by warfelg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 52 minutes ago, RaidersAreOne said: Reports came out yesterday that the NFL would allow him to wear the helmet if it was made under 10 years ago. So if he finds one somehow, he can wear it until it expires at the 10 year mark. He lost his grievance but the NFL did cater to him slightly by allowing this it sounds like. I read somewhere else he would need to get the helmet certified then it would work. Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical media shenanigans trying to drum up clicks. We live in a click based society. Sweet, lets turn AB into a victim now. Not a Victim but it's hilarious how differently people are reacting to AB and what Brady did just a year ago. Ones the GOAT the other a DIVA, I get it but damn.
