Re: Game Used Leon Lett Helmet - Ebay...
no, not at all. the transparent decals with matching color scheme were not always the norm; prior to these decals the basic white warning decals were the standard and came in different sizes depending on the year. the reason you won't see too many of these decals in older photos (circa mid 80s) is because most equipment managers chose to remove them - but some didn't. whether or not the bolts' equipment manager at the time removed the white decals from every bolts' riddell helmet is anyone's guess - i guess an exhaustive photo search might provide some answers...
here are a couple of mid 80s photos showing the white warning label:

No, I'm trying to track down the listing for the helmet that became the Lett helmet. Any ideas?
Always looking for game used San Diego Chargers items...

Re: Game Used Leon Lett Helmet - Ebay...
Well, you just corrected another misimpression I've held for awhile, as I never noticed the white stickers before on anything other than off-the-shelf retail helmets.
As for the copy above, I personally would never buy even a knockoff that had the bolt over the warning sticker like that one. Too easy to just remove the ugly thing.
