[edit] Illegal?

I know this design has faded in popularity over the years, but I did not know the 1-bar facemask had been outlawed. WAVY 10 19:11, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why Illegal?

I know very little about football, and came to this page to find out why 1-bar facemasks are illegal. I assume it's a safety thing, if someone in the know was to add the reason to the article it would be helpful.203.25.230.150 (talk) 04:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
