@cfbhall_official: On Episode 4 of our Artifact Breakdown series, we’re looking into one of the most unexpected pieces in the Hall: a motorcycle helmet worn in college football games. 🏍️ How did it end up on the field? Here’s the story behind Frank Vohun.
This is the side of tik tok I’ve been looking for, Thanks Denis!

The crazy thing is that motorcycle helmet was probably better than the football helmets of that era

Not considering the rule that made helmets mandatory didn’t come in until the early 90’s if I remember correctly.

i've seen pictures of Colorado State wearing motorcycle helmets in the 70s. Light Helmets recently entered the football helmet market and advertised they were the first to create the helmet with Styrofoam padding, but that technology has been around for decades.

Love that you mentioned the thing with helmets damaging noses. My grandpa played back in the 60’s for Northern State (in South Dakota) and he would essentially break his nose every game because of his helmet. Also….tell the hall to induct Kellen Moore already 😂
