Isaac Bruce Helmet on AM - Ending tonight...

[helmets]

I was interested in the Bruce helmet on American Memorabilia that ends tonight. It has a large "turf" scuff on the side of the helmet. In trying to find a photo of that scuff, I found something worth noting. Here is a photo of Bruce in the Superbowl that year. This would have been the last year that they wore the helmets with the yellow horn. Notice the horn has been cut for the low mount snap - for the chinstrap. Notice it has a snap even though the snap is not used with Bruce's high mount chinstrap.

Notice on the AM helmet - no snap, no cut out in the side decals. I checked other games that year, and all photos that I could find had the chinstrap snap and the cutout in the decal.

Crazy isn't it?
