Gaining Momentum
How do you penetrate a competitive and saturated market? Go in it, to win it. Rawlings went back into the game full throttle. Their goal was to create an aesthetically conservative helmet with an unconventional padding system. They were targeting not only the players on all levels, but also the coaches, equipment managers, and even Mom. Part of their strategy was to ensure that everyone involved in the game could see the advantages of this new helmet.The NRG series (Neuro Responsive Gear) - was set to be the flagship brand name for the full Rawlings helmet line. Development focused on the entire helmet from the inside out. After countless iterations of concepts, 2D patterns, CAD and multiple levels of prototypes to verify size, shape, fit and coverage, the innovative features of the Rawlings NRG Quantum helmet emerged.
