leather helmet
Old football protection
A leather helmet is a protective head covering made of hardened leather, used historically in sports like football and aviation before modern materials became standard.
The term now often appears nostalgically or to describe early 20th-century athletes: back when players wore leather helmets.
It can suggest an earlier, rougher era of a sport.
