Untitled

This is a request for this article to be added to, particularly the "History" section

I agree. you could write something like this in the socks article if you wanted. it is unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.174.243 (talk) 21:20, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

History

Seriously guys, this article does need a history section, especially now that there is some talk about reducing padding to increase safety. Especially, until what time was football played with little more equipment than soccer or rugby, and how did the game change with the arrival of heavy padding? -- 77.7.171.213 (talk) 16:20, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Good idea. Be our guest. --Jayron32 04:56, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

It would be an interesting addition. There is a reference to it in Conan-Doyle's "The Lost World" (end of chapter 2, "Chain mail, or an American football suit—that's what you'll want") Project Gutenberg. This book was published in 1912. Mesdale (talk) 14:19, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

American football protective equipment → Protective equipment in gridiron football –

I've proposed this move because the equipment listed is used in both American football and Canadian football, so a more general title should be used. Mindmatrix 16:31, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

• Support per nom -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 01:55, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment I've provisionally added banners for Canadian football wikiprojects. If this isn't moved, please remove the two Canadian football banners. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 17:15, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
• Support - it's a sensible rationale, there's no need to favour one sport over the other when this subject is equally common to both. ★ Bald Zebra ★ ^talk 08:17, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
• Comment: It may warrant an even simpler name, such as Equipment in gridiron football, or a better name that captures worn equipment. (Otherwise, the article may include flags used by referees, measuring devices, etc.) Mindmatrix 16:50, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
• Support The more inclusive term "gridiron football" should be used in the article title. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:55, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
