The Tidbit of a few days ago covered the transition from leather to plastic helmets in the 1950s. At the time, some coaches continued capping their teams in leather, believing plastic helmets presented a danger to other players. Many of those coaches also disliked face masks since opposing players were also struck by them. Nevertheless, the 1950s saw a range of face mask designs come on the market, and a higher percentage of players wearing them.
