L.C. Anderson Trojans (Austin, TX) are the Latest Team to Equip Roster with Most Technologically Advanced Helmet
L.C. Anderson High School announced today it will equip its varsity football program with the VICIS ZERO1 helmet for the 2018 football season. The ZERO1 is the top ranked helmet in the National Football League (NFL) and National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) helmet performance testing.
Last season, the first for the ZERO1, players on 18 NFL teams and 20 top NCAA programs wore the advanced helmet. L.C. Anderson High School’s decision to equip its entire team in the ZERO1 is part of a larger commitment from high schools around the country to outfit athletes with the most technologically advanced equipment.
“Trojan Nation is excited to announce that our varsity football team will be outfitted in the new, state of the art, VICIS helmet,” said Daniel Hunter, L.C. Anderson Head Football Coach. “We believe this will help enhance the performance of our team on the field.”
Originally introduced to NFL and NCAA teams, the ZERO1 is now available to high school programs for the 2018 season. The ZERO1 is the most technologically advanced helmet on the market, designed to reduce impact forces with a highly engineered structure that differs from traditional football helmets. The ZERO1 has a deformable outer shell and a unique columnar layer designed to slow impact forces like a car bumper.
“Our team at VICIS continues to focus on delivering ZERO1’s breakthrough protective technology to high schools across the country,” said Dave Marver, VICIS CEO and co-founder. “We are proud to help Coach Hunter and the L.C. Anderson football program protect their athletes and elevate their performance.”
VICIS recently took advantage of lower production costs to reduce the price of the ZERO1 and make it more accessible to high school programs. L.C. Anderson High School’s purchase of the ZERO1 helmet follows the launch of the VICIS online marketplace. All helmets ordered by March 30, 2018 will be delivered by July 31, 2018. Quantities are limited, so individuals and teams are encouraged to place orders as soon as possible.
