Sports face mask identification system

Abstract

The face mask is attached to a helmet that protects the rest of the head. The mask is usually made of bars of metal or other product that will perform the same function. The number, letter, name or logo identifying the athlete or team will be added to the mask will provide the identify of the athlete without need for any other identification. This will allow for larger photos of the face when the face of the athlete is used for advertising or just used in a video, photo or other image that provides recognition of the person wearing the mask. The number, letter, name or logo will be located on the mask in a location that does not interfere with vision. The identifier will be of the same or similar product that comprises the rest of the mask.
