1968 OU Stripe Uncut... Got this baby from South Dakota. It was in a family for a long time packed away in a closet. The daughter was on the equipment staff at Nebraska-Lincoln in the late 60's. If you don't know the story at OU in 1968 it's a pretty good one and well documented. Suffice it to say it was the dawning of the block OU. Brunswick owned MacGregor at the time and they made prototypes for OU to consider for use in 68: a striped version and an unstriped version. You know the rest of the story. Well nothing is ever lost at Norman so lo and behold in 2014 they introduce a red helmet with a center stripe. Only took from '68 to '14 to see it in actual game use. You'll notice several features on this one. The squared out interior corners of the letters. That was from 68 through 76. In 77 when Kelley took over MacGregor helmets that changed to the angled corners and that hasn't changed. There are very few 68 helmets around. They have the gold Brunswick logo on the back. This one must have been sent to Lincoln almost as soon as it arrived. I have two of these, this one and one with a OPO mask. Oklahomagameused has one too. That's all I know of. They're about as rare as original Grello helmets in Eugene, Oregon! Anyway I thought I'd put this one up as well since it's basically never been cut and is in mint condition. Weird how these things come to us... eh? But that's half the fun...
