Rambler Revamp: Loyola Academy's Pre-Season Gear Up
As the 2026 season approaches, Loyola Academy's Ramblers are gearing up with the latest in helmet visor and turf tape technology. This year, the team has adopted the Riddell SpeedFlex helmet with the Riddell SpeedFlex visor, featuring a sleek, aerodynamic design that provides enhanced visibility and protection. The visor's price point falls within the $50-$70 range, making it an affordable upgrade for 8A athletes. Additionally, the team is using 3M Scotch Tape, a popular choice among high school football players, to secure their cleats to the turf. The 3M Scotch Tape is priced between $5-$10 per roll, offering a cost-effective solution for teams looking to reduce cleat slippage. With these upgrades, Loyola Academy's Ramblers are poised to take on the competition, and parents can follow suit by investing in their own child's safety and performance gear.
