Players wear a hard helmet, a modern safety must. But beneath it? A polo helmet with a brim that actually covers your ears. It looks like a flying saucer landed on their head.
Here’s the fun fact: they glue a little colored elastic band on top of the helmet. That’s their team logo. It’s like a nametag, but for a horse jockey’s hat.
And the ponytail? Many players grow long hair just to stick out the back. It’s aerodynamic, or so they claim. I think it’s just for the dramatic swish when they turn.
