Why Didn't Roman Legionaries Use Gladiator Helmets?

Gladiators were armed fighters who entertained audiences fighting with other gladiators, condemned criminals, wild animals. Gladiators could sometimes be volunteers willing to risk everything fighting in the arena. Most of them were treated as slaves.
Games involving the gladiators lasted for about a thousand years.
Gladiators games were a rich business for owners and trainers, and for politicians aswell..
Shows involving gladiators' fights were organized throughout the Republic and beyond.
First types of gladiator were named after Rome's enemies of that time: the Samnite, Thracian and Gaul. The Samnite and the Gaul were renamed Secutor and Murmillo, after the Roman Empire conquered those populations.
The trade in gladiators was empire-wide and supervised by Roman officials. Rome's had a large supply of prisoners due to its military success, and those prisoners could sometimes be sold to the market and become gladiators.
Gladiators were sometimes ex-slaves condemned to the arena, to gladiator schools or games as punishment for crimes.
Female gladiators appeared rarely and were regarded as a symptom of corrupted Roman appetites, morals and womanhood.
