Golden Wheels Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Thanks for the link. I have seen those helmets on football cards, but not with that excellent resolution. Hey it's Duby's hat

WVUFootball29 Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Does that make the Bills "bastards", or something like that? 533610[/snapback] No, TD has done a good job of that

Guest BackInDaDay Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Does that make the Bills "bastards", or something like that? 533610[/snapback] No just an extraordinary opportunity to own a professional football team.
JAMIEBUF12 Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 way kewl! my favorite choice would be for the bills to have their throwback unis and penn states helmets lol just a white helmet would be kewl

BuffaloBud Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Doesn't the padding in the helmet look a little "modern" considering the era of the helmet. Methinks that this is not "original".
Guest BackInDaDay Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Doesn't the padding in the helmet look a little "modern" considering the era of the helmet. Methinks that this is not "original". 533825[/snapback] You're right about the pads, but almost all the new ones I've seen (Ridell and Evolution) have an inflatable bladder at the top. They have a small nipple (like a football) on the very top that accepts the pump needle. I don't see that on the pictures. It could be an original that had it's insides renovated. Or it could be a 20 year-old helmet that's been spray painted silver.
dib Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 OK so this is a lamp. Ask me if I care. Funny you should ask. No. I have the complete Pizza Hut mug set with the history of the Bills helmets (including that damn ugly silver one.)
Buckeye Eric Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Knowing you guys, this has probably appeared before but for those who have never seen these helmets, well, prepare yourselves... http://hometown.aol.com/bkbubco/60-Buf.html 533204[/snapback] I concur with some others. It looks like it has never been seen any game action and looks in pristine shape for being 45 years old.
