Vicis, a new-wave helmet distributor has been raising millions of dollars and made news in August when it announced it would provide gear for the Washington Huskies.
But there was a slight hiccup with their progress recently.
The company recently pulled its helmets from the Huskies football training camp due to “non-safety related refinements toward fit and comfort,” according to a UW statement. For the first time since their deal with Vicis, the Huskies will be wearing Riddell helmets during practice, and are planning to wear them during the 2016–17 season.
