Claymore, I like the helmet. Looks like from the 1990 season when I Google pictures from that time. I found a #78 player in a group picture and the mask is a lineman's in my opinion. The date on the Schutt face mask is IHH or September 1988.

The rear white "Warning" decal matches others from the 1990 season. The front and rear Riddell stickers are spot on.

I'll keep looking for the player's name for the #78 in black marker would seem to indicate it is his helmet.

Re: Texas A&I Football Helmet

Thanks for the replys, sorry its not for sale as over here in the UK its hard to find any game used items, so i was lucky to find it !!

i dont know if the face mask is the original as it seems more like a running back or backfield mask as in these next pictures but i cant find a #78 #88 #99 or #2 that played that position but i might be wrong

Mark Barry wore #78 between 1987-1990 and he was an O lineman

and yet again i cant find any pics of him !!


Terry Price wore #88 between 1986-1989 on D end

but the only pic i can find he was not wearing that facemask

and James McKeehan wore #88 between 1991-1994 he was a TE

the only pics i can find of him, he was not wearing that facemask


Joe Johnson wore #99 between 1987-1988 Linebacker

cant find any pics

Otis Nealy wore #99 between 1988-1992 Linebacker

Re: Texas A&M Football Helmet

I see someone mentioned James Mckeehan. It's not his helmet because I own it, so that at least crosses one off of your list.

Re: Texas A&M Football Helmet

I did not think it was James Mckeehan's helmet but thanks for letting me know !!

and i collect most football teams memorabilia but at the moment im not looking for anything else thanks

Re: Texas A&M Football Helmet

The helmet is authentic for sure. The numbers written near the earholes on the inside are locker numbers. I collect game used A&M helmets as well and this is a nice early 90's find.
