Shoulder pad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shoulder pads are a piece of equipment used mainly in American and Canadian football. Most modern shoulder pads consist of a shock absorbing foam material with a hard plastic piece on top of the foam. The pieces are usually secured by rivets or strings that the user can tie to adjust the size.
Shoulder pads are also a type of padding sometimes used in clothing to the wearer the illusion of less sloping shoulders. Shoulder pads are often used in suits, and were widely used in women's clothing in the 1980s.
