thats what it is, it has to do with a DR. being able to clearly see the eyes, this type of injury you cant take the chance of moving the head and helmet around to get the visor off to look into the eyes

they can only wear the visor with a prescription from a doctor saying they need to wear it for medical reasons. Basically bright lights could injure their eyes would be the reason for tinted visors...
and you have to actually have the prescription with you to show the ref on the field. i ran into this problem 2 years ago

It's the concussion thing.... Honestly, you shouldn't need a visor to play football anyway. I know that every kid on our team who wants one, is doing it strictly for the attention it gets from how "cool" it looks. Does it actually help you in a football game? Not really. I've seen more kids have to take them off because they get all fogged up, then kids who need to put one on because of things flying in their face.
I am glad that even the clear ones are going to be banned in CIF this season..

i hate them, they only wear them because they are "cool"
i tell them all that at some point during the season, they will be scrambling around at halftime for a screwdriver to take it off because they cant see through it because of dirt scratches or fog
CQ havent heard CIF was banning even the clear ones, can you please elaborate

I personally don't mind visors- as long as they're regulation...
I guess they're about as useless as neckrolls-

What is the problem with allowing players to wear tinted visors? at night you cannot see very well even under the lights.

i like visors .. keeps sun out of my eyes and the top of my head cool. drawback is have to spray sunscreen on scalp to prevent the sun burn ;D what others have said regarding trainers/doctors and viewing of the eyes is the official reasoning behind no tinted visors.

I liked wearing them as a player, yeah they looked cool, but it also hid your intentions, you could look at the hole the whole game, or at your block, they can never key it

We have our skill players wear them when we play on field turf, because the little black rubber stuff flies up off the field and can get in thier eyes.

Never knew the reason behind it......makes sense.

They don't want them at all basically. I'll double check again, but I thought that both myself and the HC understood that this meant no visors... Maybe they said they WILL be illegal in the next year or so... I'll double check.

Since 6 of our games (at least) will be played on field turf I have no problem with them.. It's either that or our RB's miss a couple plays throughout the game to get the rubber pellets rinsed out of their eyes..

They are eliminating ANYTHING that draws attention to the player... The little Nike wristbands that serve absolutely no function on the field are eliminated.
