Schutt Sports did not produce the AIR TM in the 70's, like you have stated. Bike Athletic Company produced the football helmets that were designed at the University of Michigan in the 70's. The first helmet was the Air Power, followed by the Pro Air. Bike was owned by Colgate-Polmalive at the time. In 1986, Dick Kazmaier bought Bike Athletic, and in order to protect his new investment, separated the helmet part of the company into it's own entity called Athletic Helmet Inc. This took place in about 1987. Kazmaier, a former Heiseman trophy winner at Princeton (51), then sold Athletic Helmet to Schutt in 1989-90.
Also, helmets "similar" to the Riddell Revolution have not been shown to reduce concussions by 31%. The only helmet technology to be tested and to be certified with this claim is the Riddell Revolution system.

This article needs some verifiable sources. I'm also removing the "future" section outright, since it seems particularly ripe for speculation.
The following comment was left in the article at 00:38, 19 August 2012, by Rroboh ( talk · contribs):
The article incorrectly states: "In 1955, G.E. Morgan, a consultant to Riddell, and Paul Brown, the coach of the Cleveland Browns, invented the BT-5 face mask which is the single bar design. The year after the BT-5 a single wave radio was installed in a players helmet so the coach could give the play to the quarterback over a radio frequency. It only resulted in game time interference but the experiment was ahead of its time."
The BT-5 facemask & the single wave radio installed in players helmets were invented by Leo F. Murphy, long time trainer of the Cleveland Browns. He has in his possession the original prototype for both the BT-5 and the prototype radio controlled helmet.
A pity that it's taken over a year for anyone to notice that the comment was left in the wrong place. Aɴɢʀ ( talk) 10:04, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
