bigmo78 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 This year baseballs new toy is the Rawlings CoolFlow Batting Helmets. I want to start working on this and will do so as soon as i can get adobe to start working again but anybody who would like to help with this is more than welcome. Now I think there will be only five teams that are wearing these next year as kind of a test run. I know the cubs are one of them. Could be "COOL" ...you decide.

kgbaseball Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 They look like the helmets kids in the Little League World Series wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmo78 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Yeah i can see that, i do preffer the old ones. Especially when Juan wears it with his hat underneath like a little kid. Apperantely they are supposed to absorb the shock of getting hit in the head better. Jerry Harriston Jr. got beamed in the head his first at bat with one on and he escaped with no brain damage so who knows mabye they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hory Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I can't stand the new helmets but they would be a realistic and worthy addition but according to Uni Watch a third of mlb teams will be wearing the damn things http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/060308 "all MLB teams were given the option to wear it this season, and 11 clubs have chosen to be early adopters. Seven of those teams are already wearing the CoolFlo in spring training: the Cubs, Angels, Diamondbacks, Devil Rays, Orioles, Dodgers and Mets. The other four CoolFlo teams -- the Twins, A's, Braves and Padres -- are wearing regular helmets for now but will switch to the new model when the regular season starts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbully Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 no I didn't OEdit the helmet - that's more time than I want to give it. The model is the same, it's not 3D except for the shading effect I put on it. It's still a WIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firethebomb Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hey Bigbully, do you plan on maybe updating each team with the new helmets, the 11 teams mentioned? And if so, would it overwrite the complete KC uniforms I have or just the helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbully Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I may, I may not. I'm still tinkering w/it to my liking. The pic of the Mets helmet posted previously is hot! What you would have to do it extract each of the uniforms you want to put the helmet on, import the helmet and repack the fsh. Then you'd have to import them back in the game (probably w/Kraw's installer thingy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firethebomb Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well, if you do it, I'll of course do what you said but I really have no idea how but I'm sure you will give a nice readme file to explain it all in detail, right? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmo78 Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I agree about the mets helmet looking hot, not sure if they are gonna use it durring the season cause their black unis dont have the blue in it very much but hey it would be sweet if they did. I thought about tinkering with some mulit color versions like adding some red to the cubs helmet or white to the dogers and seeing how it comes out. It might end up being trash but hey who knows.

AstroEric Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 If the helmets are all the same model, might it benefit the general population to make a PSD template? --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Continue this thread, seeing as I would like to incorporate these as part of the Total MLB project....however I hate these helmets, but I'd like to add these for some teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
