Gear Up: Lawrence Free State Firebirds Embracing Innovation on the Gridiron
This pre-season, the Lawrence Free State Firebirds are gearing up with cutting-edge helmet visors and turf tapes that set them apart from the competition. The team has chosen the Riddell SpeedFlex helmet, featuring the Riddell SpeedFlex visor with a sleek, aerodynamic design that enhances visibility and reduces wind resistance. Additionally, they're using the 3M Scotch Brand Turf Tape, a high-strength adhesive that provides a secure grip on the turf without leaving residue. These upgrades are particularly beneficial for 6A athletes, who often face faster-paced games and require a competitive edge. The Riddell SpeedFlex visor retails between $100-$150, while the 3M Scotch Brand Turf Tape is available for $5-$10 per roll. Parents, consider investing in these innovative products to give your child an edge on the field this season.
