Title: new 'south african' albion nxt helmet
Post by: slogger02 on August 23, 2008, 09:09:22 AM

i was watching the ODI between england and SA and saw a few of their players wearing 'odd helmets', thats all i can describe them as really.
anyone else see them?
can anyone get some info/pics of them.
do you like them?

I don't like it and this would just make me buy a Masuri more.

holy moly, that looks even worse than it did on the tv.
but in a strange way i actually quite like it
are there meant to be any advantages to the design?
