maybe its getting harder to see the ball with his old age and all

Maybe he came to the realization that the sun doesn't shine often in GB in November.

Those shields get dirty, muddy, and can fog up in the cold weather. Guys tend to switch around depending on the time of year, like Fritz said.

I seem to recall that tinted visors had been banned. There was a time when all the linemen seemed to be going that way for the Darth Vader look. IIRC the complaint was that if a guy went down you couldn't see his eyes to know if he was alert or not.

Were they ever actually banned?

I believe that tinted visors can only be used for medical reasons.

Ladanian Tomlinson wears it and he's the best player in football!

Yeah, but he plays in San Diego. (Spanish for whale's vagina.) That's from good ol' Ron if any of you are wondering.

Correct, only allowed for medical reasons. Tomlinson uses one for migraine headaches.

IIRC Gilbert Brown used to use one.
