ABSTRACT:
A shoulder pad for football players comprising a chestplate portion, a backplate portion and a pair of arches integrally connecting the plate portions, the arches being laterally spaced to provide an opening for the neck of the wearer with the spacing such that the arches lie adjacent and relatively close to the neck. The arches are relatively narrow in relation to the width of the shoulders. Each of the members has padding on the inside thereof with the padding at the top of the arch extending laterally over the shoulder and having an inner portion generally beneath the arch and an outer portion covering the outer part of the shoulder. The inner and outer portions are hingedly connected with the outer portion having a back section adjacent the backplate and a front section adjacent the chestplate. These sections are separate toward their outer ends so as to provide freedom for raising the arm above a horizonal position by permitting upward movement of the outer part of the shoulder without substantial interference from the outer portion of the padding.
