Protective gear in sports – Wikipedia Protective gear in sports – Wikipedia en.m.wikipedia.org
To start with I have looked at ‘sports that uses protective gear’ and the sports or are: American football, baseball, cricket, fencing, hockey,ice hockey, rugby, volleyball and under water hockey; I know there are may more dangerous sports out her that use protective equipment and some which do not. Before starting the research the sports that stood out for me was cricket and American foot; mostly American football which I wanted to include in my project and it was American football, all sports are tough which needs a lot of strength and stamina but why have I chose American football? Because it can be uses to show strength and empowering; for me american football is the dangerous sport and the players stand strong, tall andfearless with the kits look even more strong, the way they tackle their opponent and how they protect their team to gain the score is amazing.
A glims of the sports in the design can be related to strength, power and empowering of human trafficking victims; fighting back for justice.
American football shoulder pads
Teh image on the left is a morde shoulder pad kit use. I’m current American football which is made of plastic and synthetic material whereas on the other hand the image on the right is an early 1890s shoulder pads which are no where near to the Morden generation pads. It is also intresting to see how the protective gear has developed throughout the years; as u see in the images the dual shoulder pads are huge in size which shows strength and power; including this element on to the garment will exhibit a strength and enpowerment.
