First off, here's wishing a Happy Thanksgiving holiday to you and yours! Here's to celebrating all that we have to be thankful for.
As many of you are already aware, I am pretty much a "jersey guy" and am seeking to tap into the experience of those with more helmet experience to assist in a project that we have underway. Working with Curtis from HelmetHut, we have a project underway to create a series of display helmets that depict the evolution of the Denver Broncos' helmets design/style changes through the team's history. With extensive photographic study and Curtis' expertise in the area of vintage helmets, we have so far pieced together a collection of 7 helmets. We currently have 3 more remaining in order to complete this series and one of those has turned into a roadblock of sorts.
Specifically, I am hoping to recreate a historically accurate representation of a John Elway helmet from the period of 1986-'88. Do any of you know, with some degree of certainty, exactly what style of helmet John would have worn during this period? One person has suggested that John "liked the AF-2 model", but was unsure of when (or even if) he began using this.
Any help that any of you may be able to provide in terms of the exact model worn by John during this period would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
