Re: Greg Olson Braves helmet

David,
The numbers are correct, as is everything else about the helmet, down to the blacked out ABC logo (via sticker - which is also unique) beneath the flags. For the most part, those numbers were used from 1987 (first year back to tomahawks) through 1992. Best that I can tell, that numeral style was unique to the Braves. It doesn't take a mastermind to fake helmets most of the time, but getting a '91 Braves gamer correct would take some effort. That said, there actually is a bad "'91" Olson catchers helmet out there somewhere. The only thing they got right however was the flags. Recall seeing that one in the mid-90s.

Thanks Jason for the info!
I know you know your Braves stuff.

Hey Skip,

What are your thoughts on the numbers on the back of the helmet?

They just looked a little strange to me.

Hey Jason! I don't know a damn thing about that Olson helmet! Lol! But it is good to see an old friend posting again. Hope you stick around for a while. You are an asset to this forum.

Haha.....thanks, Todd! I guess I was starting to get withdrawls from this place. Wish some others would start posting again as well. Abe, Rudy, Jimmie B., were are you guys?
