The Football Helmet is a padded sports helmet worn by football players. It is protective gear worn in the Full Head slot. It is a strong, easy-to-find helmet for a survivor near a school or a gym.
Its main strength is protection that never falls off. It stops most bites and scratches on the head and keeps out almost all rain. Its main costs are a big cut to vision, muffled hearing and slightly slower attacks.
It comes in blue, red and white looks. Sports storage rooms and gym storage are the best places to find one. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The helmet stops about seven bites in ten and four scratches in five on the head. It stays on through every hit and fall, so the head stays covered in a fight.
It keeps the head fairly warm and keeps out most rain. It suits wet weather well.
The costs are real. It cuts vision in half and hearing by a quarter, so zombies get closer before they are noticed. The poor vision also makes foraging much harder. It slows attacks slightly and adds a fair amount of discomfort.
A Firefighter Helmet gives the same bite and scratch guard with only a quarter cut to vision. It is also warmer. A Batting Helmet and a Hockey Helmet give the same protection with a smaller cut to vision.
The helmet takes the Full Head slot. A hat, glasses, an eyepatch, a mask, a breathing mask and an eye mask cannot be worn with it. Hooded jackets and hooded sweaters also clash with it.
Variations
The Football Helmet comes in 4 versions with the same stats. Only the look changes.

Notes
- It never falls off, so head protection holds through a whole fight.
- Halved vision makes it a poor choice for foraging.
- A Firefighter Helmet protects as well and sees much better.
- The helmet does not tear.
