Players used to be able to wear a shield for any reason. Now they can wear a clear shield but must have a medical reason to wear a tinted one. The reason the NFL changed this rule was for players who suffered a severe neck, head or back injury. The reason is so the trainers can see their eyes to see if they are conscious and responding.

Because the suns in their eyes. Especially because San Francisco is in California, so there is a lot of sunlight.

it would artwork yet in the NFL...Qb`s use their parrifeil creative and prescient,and once you do this,you elect too be waiting to tell jersy colours,each and every little bit counts in a huge league like the NFL...and the only way the assumption might artwork is with a tinted one...which you cant see the colors...(He might finally end up throwing it to the choice group...)
