Franklin Sports Youth Dress-Up Shoulder Pads

Franklin sports youth dress up shoulder pads worked perfect for my 4 year old grandson.... it went under his footbll uniform... great item... great value for the money

My 3 yo nephew is a HUGE football fan. He LOVES the Cleveland Browns and spends his days playing with his toy football men and watching peewee football games on YouTube. He’s a true Browns fan who gets upset and tells you NO if you are off key when chanting “Here We Go Brownies Here we go Woof Woof”. This year for Christmas I got him a Cleveland Browns uniform complete with shoulder pads and a helmet. The joy in his eyes and voice when he unwrapped the gift and saw Franklin Sports on the box. He shouted to me YOU GOT IT YOU GOT IT. Then he asked where his gloves and football shoes were 🤨. He remained in FULL UNIFORM with pad's all day. The shoulder pads fit perfectly and it was worth every penny.

Looks great but not for long-term usage, tears if played with rough like.

I bought these hesitantly for my 7yr old's Halloween costume. He's a big 7yo and most of the reviews commented on how small these are and how there is nothing to them - that's absolutely the case. I would guess they would work perfectly as-is for UP TO a 3yr old but for anyone older, either find something else or be prepared to make some modifications. For me, given the choice of spending $10 + some time or a lot more money for real pads...it was worth a try. Fortunately, it was very easy to beef them up. All you have to do is loosen the front laces and spread them out. I actually ended up using just two of the holes instead of all 3 so I could spread them further. The back is held together by a short piece of elastic. I cut it in half, poked a hold in either side, ran a smaller piece of elastic through the newly poked holes, and tied my elastic piece together to rejoin the back (I had some elastic already, but you could use pretty much anything). The plastic "pad" part, is actually a pretty good shape for shoulder pads, but again - on an older child, not big enough. So, I took 2 sandwich baggies and filled them will fiberfill (aka pillow stuffing, but you could use anything) then duct taped the filled baggies in between the plastic pad and the foam body. It's not pretty, but of course under his jersey you don't see it. It's now beefy enough to fill out his jersey and it looks really good! All in all - if you have a small child, these are great for dress up (obviously, not for contact). If you have an older child though, they can still be modified enough to work. They provide a decent framework for you to work with if you are willing to do that. I don't expect they will hold up much past Halloween but they will work perfectly for our purpose.

Great item

Franklin and Amazon ought to be ashamed of themselves for making and selling this product. I know the expression "you get what you pay for" but this is even worse than that. Labeling it as "Costume" is far from accurate as it ought to have the word JUNK in parenthesis next to the product name. The photo is the worst false advertising I have seen in a long time! It is literally a flimsy piece of thin, black foam with two little molded plastic cups sewn to the foam, which by the way have ripped entirely off on one side since you have to carefully try and tuck it under a kids t-shirt so it will stay and have some resemblance to football pads. We got this for our youngest son (3 y.o.) for Christmas because he lives and breathes football. He thinks they're real pads, because he is 3, so he loves them! I am the one who is let down that one side has completely ripped apart in just 1 month of use and the other side is close behind. Little kids put their heart into this kind of thing because they believe it is the real deal. My son continues to wear it even though it's ruined. I couldn't take it away from him if I tried. How disappointing that Franklin would produce such a lousy item. Worse of all (and I am a die hard patron) Amazon is stooping pretty low to make a lousy couple bucks trying to sell this piece of garbage!!!

Well the product is absolutely useless for any type of performance-oriented or workout equivalents. I used it for part of a Batman costume and it worked fantastically. The plastic is just that: cheap plastic. Why do you think the price is so inexpensive? Keeping that in mind, they worked great as a costume piece. The tie is cheap with the underlay being inexpensive foam. They are small, but could fit adults. I tore mine apart to use for a costume so that did not really apply to me personally. If you're looking for a costume or prop piece these make an excellent option.

Can’t beat the price and definitely set my son‘s Halloween costume over the top. I wish there was a strap connected from front to back because when you tie the front, they try to tilt forward a bit, but not a big deal. Still look great.

Buen producto para bromas

they were a very good quality...and best of all they fit my 6 year old perfectly

Le gusto mucho a mi hijo

Bought these to go with my 4.5 year olds Halloween costume. They work great and fit him well without being too bulky.

Cheaply made, very small, won’t stay on when child role plays. Extremely disappointed, don’t waste your money.
