When it comes to pricing our products it will basically be ranged upon each helmet and the amount of helmets the customer wants to wrap , for instance helmets ranging from 15-25 would cost $25 each , 25-50 is $20 each , 51-75 helmet wraps would be $15 each , and 76-100 will be $12 each . Our price of the helmets will vary upon the customer's satisfaction therefore if the demand is high we will increase the initial price of a helmet but if the demand is low then we will decrease the amount , it all depends on our customers and how they take in our product , also on our competitors and how they go about pricing their products this is when competitive pricing will come into play for example if our competitor is raising

In my opinion another reason we are set different then other companies is our competitive pricing and how we go about it , in order to establish the right competitive price for our product we need to take into account our product life cycle and the stage our product is in . Different from our product Some companies have to use competitor based pricing, as often price is the only factor customers consider while buying a product and the switching cost for buying a product from two different stores is very low. However, in many cases like software, competitor’s behaviour or data shouldn’t be the central factor for determining prices. There are numerous other variables that need to be considered in this case. With the help of one football team using our vinyl wrap this hopefully in the long run can lead to our product being on many other teams helmets and eventually a whole league could benefit from our product. This would mean our demand would rise dramatically which would mean we would have to have more in
Should people under the age of 18 be required to wear a protective helmet while skateboarding, in-line skating, bicycling, snowboarding and skiing? I believe truly believe so. The thrill in these activities, are to speed jump tricks and ride.
The Fairview athletic administration should consider getting new equipment, especially football helmets. Many people think that the helmets are fine but they aren't. They feel like a giant rock against your head. Why should we not get rid of them? When you get hit by someone in the head it feels way worse than it would be with newer helmets.
My topic choice for the final essay will be Football Safety Equipment. I decided to write about this topic because I am an athlete and I have played football since I was six years old. When I transfer to a four year college, I plan to play on the collegiate level. As I grew, my father would purchase extra protection in addition to purchasing my own specialized helmet for football. My father did this because he believed Parks and Recreation did not properly maintain their equipment. Also, over the last couple of years there has been quite a few players from little league to the professional league who have suffered concussions. As a result, some medical professionals believe these concussions are linked to CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy).
Soccer, being the most popular sport across the nation, currently has millions of fans and approximately 25 million registered players in the United States alone (Niedfeldt). Since the early 2000’s and continually seventeen years later, concussions are among the highest sustained injury to soccer players. While the sport is increasing in popularity, fear of injuries is increasing as well. In response to the arising panic, several companies have come together in order to create, promote, and sell protective headgear to concerned soccer players and their parents. The creators of this gear claim that their products will reduce concussions and any negative neurocognitive effects in relation to heading balls in soccer. Although some believe that
The guest speaker for class was Mack Farag the equipment manager for the football team. Mack was the manager of McMinnville high school for 12 years before he came to Linfield. His job consist of make sure the team has properly fitted equipment from helmets to leg pads. He is also in charge of all the balls, radio equipment and uniforms.
Most people either don’t know or don’t care to know about football helmets. It is something that you have to enjoy knowing and learning about. Each helmet has something different and different way they try to make it comfortable and safe for the player to wear. The history of each brand has a history on how they came up with the idea of making their style of helmet. No matter where the football game is being played, there are multiple helmets being worn at one time, which include Riddell, Schutt, Xenith, Vicis and SGH.
There are way too many injuries in football. Not even just in the pros because it happens whenever you can get a football game going. The number one reason they need to fix helmets is because almost 6% of NFL players get a concussion (Jones 2018). That’s way too many. Another reason is about 3.5 middle school students receive treatment after a game (Mills 2016). My final reason is high school had 135,000 concussions reported (“Youth Sports Injuries Statistics”). Football commissioners are already getting started.
Every part of the game of football means very much to me, which is why I have a passion for the game and why I researched this topic. Helmets are one of the most important pieces of safety gear a football player can have. In October 2010, a new rule was signed off to be placed in the National Football League (NFL) rule book for the safety of NFL players. The helmet-to-helmet hit rule is as follow: using any part of the helmet to butt, spear, or ram any part of the opponent’s helmet (Azpiri). A helmet-to-helmet hit is illegal in the NFL now. The punishment for a helmet-to-helmet hit for a NFL player is being fine with a gradual increase the next times they do it and/or suspension depending on the
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) have always been a problem in sports and especially in contact sports like football. Since the beginning of football there has been different styles of head protection, from no helmets at all in very early stages to the modern day helmets we have today. In order to know how the evolution of the football helmet has made head injuries less common than they originally were, we have to know what is a concussion and how someone gets one.
Conclusion- The use of headgear and a better handling of concussions will provide a better and safer environment for student athletes globally.
There has been extraordinary improvements of helmets from the old leather to the modernized-plastic football helmets along with the face mask and energy- absorbent padding. In addition, the concern over preventing concussions, have led to helmet changes, impact testing methods and reconstruction of injuries during play helping to provide insight on concussions(4). Helmets have been successful in decreasing the risk of traumatic brain injuries, but there is much concern over concussion; therefore, scholars argue the importance of technology development to address concussion(5). As the author(s), David Viano and David Halstead discusses, there is room needed for understanding the types of collisions associated in youths and the impact condition addressing collisions. There are many variables to consider addressing concussion and where they occur.
American football has been around for over one hundred years, and along with the sport has been the need to provide proper safety for the players. An assortment of padding has been instituted in the game that protects against most blunt trauma including blows to the shoulders, mid section, and legs. In an attempt to prevent fracture of the skull, helmets were designed. However, studies have shown that helmets do little to nothing to prevent concussive damage to the brain. A polycarbonate shell is used as the outer housing for regulation football helmets, but along with this material, the materials used on the inside of the helmet are just as, if not more, important. The purpose of this report is to analyze the materials used in current football helmet design and the improvements being made in the field of materials science in order to combat the severe number of concussions suffered by NFL players.
Companies like Under Armour, Nike and Adidas/Reebok have high threats of substitute´s products. These companies share the sport apparel industry and are vulnerable to competitive pressure from the actions of buyers whenever they view that their products can be substituted for others. The availability of substitutes invites the costumer to compare performance, features, and ease of use as well as price. Under Armour’s major competitors are Nike and Adidas/Reebok because they have a similar or competing product offerings. The top sport apparel brands offer similar products and that is why each one of them needs to keep a high standard and produce good quality products in order for customers to keep buying their product.
The last alternative could be to create a better marketing about their products, to compare their brand with the competition so the market can understand that the differences between prices is because of the good quality, the brand name, the knowledge, and that they are the only ones, the expert ones on those kind of products.
