Ironically,  for the Ralph is cheap crowd - this was done out of necessity.  Rather than go white helmets and buy a whole new set for a 2 times use (one home against the broncos and 1 away vs oilers) he just opted for a decal swap. Pretty meh

It's been done, for 1 game in '94 against the Broncos.  Hideous.

Ralph was cheap.  Extremely cheap.  He opened the pocket book for a short while in the Kelly era, it didn't work, and he went back to closing the wallet until he died.

Red helmets were originally introduced to help Joe Fergeson by giving him a recognizable target to throw to, thus reducing interceptions.  Not a marketing tool at all back those decades.

It's been rumored for a while now that they were planning on doing the 90s throwbacks. I'm down for it. I like the current kits they have the most but mixing it up is fun too.

Against the Oilers in those butt ugly red grazer helmets Bruce Smith had the best sack game of his career with 5.

Yes and no for me.  The true red helmets were just painted red, almost dull in color.  If now they use that more metallic red, then he’ll yes.  
 

Chris Trapasso was guest hosting on OBL Friday and he had a good idea he’s been promoting.  Instead of color rush (I never like the color rush look) Thursdays, he suggested the league should go with “Throwback Thursdays” so that for us could be the 60’s look, but I like the updated 90’s look.  
 

I kind of like it.  It would be pretty cool going with the red helmet on any Thursday night we play.  Sign me up.

Ralph kept his wallet open long after the Kelly era.

 

Did you forget Drew Bledsoe, Sam Adams, Takeo Spikes, London Fletcher, Lawyer Milloy…it wasn’t until he cut loose of Donahoe that Ralph tightened the purse strings.
