Gear Up with Dowling Catholic: Visors and Tape Trends
As the 2026 season approaches, Dowling Catholic Maroons are gearing up with the latest helmet visor and turf tape trends. The team has adopted the Riddell SpeedFlex 3.0 helmet, featuring the popular Riddell Visor System with a clear, polycarbonate lens from Smith Optics. This visor provides excellent protection and visibility, allowing players to stay focused on the game. For turf tape, the Maroons are using the 3M Scotch Brand Athletic Tape, a high-quality, medical-grade tape that provides a secure grip and helps prevent injuries. 4A athletes prefer this gear due to its durability and ease of use. The Riddell Visor System ranges from $200-$300, while the 3M Scotch Brand Athletic Tape costs between $5-$10 per roll. Parents, consider investing in a high-quality helmet visor and turf tape for your athlete this season.
