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)Reply

History

edit

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)Reply

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

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)Reply
