Does Wright's Helmet Look... Right?

Care of reader/listener Greg Chang off of FaceBook, a screencap of David Wright's new headgear: I want to make fun of Wright.  I really, really do.  But the guy just got knocked in the noggin a few weeks back.  Having you eggs scrambled like he did probably makes something as silly as helmet fashion seem... well, silly. I will bite my tongue and instead applaud Wright for his bravery in wearing something that looks like a cheat code from NBA Jam on television.  They'll be wearing them in the minor leagues whether they like it or not, which means they'll be in the majors soon. UPDATE:  11:05 PMKeith Olbermann makes an interesting observation about the helmet.  Aside from Wright looking like the Great Gazoo  of Flintstones fame, KO notes:

... early on there does seem to be one practical issue. Wright tried to steal second in the third inning tonight and went-in headfirst; the new helmet seemed to exhibit a different center-of-gravity and flew off Wright's head and scuttled in front of him. It is conceivable that a player sliding in that way might actually collide with his own helmet - and I can't remember ever seeing that happen with the standard helmet.

Then again, why is a guy just back from a beaning and a concussion sliding headfirst?

Well, yeah, the headfirst slide is rarely a good idea.  And having your helmet fly off like Willie Mays cap every time you hit the dirt probably isn't a good idea either.
