"Aesthetically, I think it's at least gotten sleeker. That's always nice, and I think there is a big stigma. Like in football, you want to feel the best and dress the best, and a lot of people think that's a big thing in the game. And so I think that part has definitely helped," said Bertrand. "As for other players, it's funny, I actually get a lot of questions, especially when I first started wearing it. I was one of the few in the league wearing it, and I mean, a lot of guys were just curious. I would say, and it's funny. A lot of guys also wear it in practice, but haven't really thought about wearing it in the game. I think this sparked some curiosity, and so I think it'll keep gaining more wearers over the next couple of years."
