Just in 1990 - due to the Gulf War. Then started again in 2001.

Nice helmet Nick.

THE SIDELINES : U.S.Flag to Grace NFL Helmets


December 20, 1990|From Times Wire Services
NEW YORK — NFL players will wear American flag decals on their helmets, starting in this weekend's games.
"This presentation of the American flag is a very appropriate method for the NFL clubs and players to affirm their support for the men and women of our armed forces on duty in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf," Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said today.

Here is a photo of a 1990-91 Vikings v. Raiders game showing the players with American flag decals on their helmets.

I admit at first I forgot as well, then remembered the first Bush's Iraq war. They only did the flag for a brief period that season, perhaps only from mid December until the Super Bowl. Here are the best shots I could find of them during a game in 1990.
