Wow, love both of those old school beauties. The Browns RT is so rare and one of the first 'clearshell' models ever while the Falcons gold painted striping make it pretty unique itself. Love seeing the more vintage side of the hobby like these two!

Thanks to cohibasmoker I was able to attain my first game used piece, a 1966 Atlanta Falcons helmet I believe belonged to QB Dennis Clairidge. Pretty much a dream come true for this life long Falcons fan.

Just picked up a Paul Brown early 1950's Browns RT helmet. The outer shell is clear with a painted white center-ridge stripe while the burnt orange inner shell, was painted at the factory. The orange helmets were worn at night and the white stripe was added on or around 1952.

Hey you are 100% correct they switched to ultra flake in 2009 for HD purposes.

Phew....I was starting to think something was fishy with this helmet I own from 2008...

Heres a revolution speed worn by Tannehill with Ultra flake. I also watched the equipment manager episode of hard knocks, and every helmet had ultra flakes.


Heres a picture of Tannehill in 2012.

I want a game worn rev speed helmet post 2009 so bad for my next Tannehill mannequin. Also need a white Tannehill gamer. I saw this one sold on hunt auctions and I had no idea. I exact matched it to Jacksonville game, it also featured the hall of fame patch on front. I sent emails to NFL auctions, Dolphins organization, Auction houses, ex... Its been a tough find so far, but when one does come available thats what makes this hobby so great.




Did anyone notice that on the nike white game jerseys the aqua numbers are a different shade of aqua than the reebok gamers?? They are lighter aqua, and sometimes look miami hurricane green in dull lighting.


This is an Elite Nike jersey size 44. Its so far off from a gamer, and fits very wide on me. Arms are tight as heck. I know this is a game worn site. But just wanted to warn some of you to stay away if you like your jerseys to fit you with a custom/fitted look. Its not the new aqua color either.

I do know that the Heavy metallic paints have come around because of High definition tv. The heavier paint look better on television now. I have a 2010 Clay Matthews Packers helmet that has a heavy coat of Metal flake in it also.

My Cameron Wake helmet is from 2010 and has the Heavy Silver metallic flecks in it. The helmet has J.O. Sports paperwork and is a Riddell Revolution helmet.

No, my Long helmet is a 2008 xl schutt air advantage...

Re: Show me your Game Used NFL Helmet

Is your helmet a Riddell? I'm pretty sure 2008 they had ultra flake. It just may look different because its not a Schutt like the Hartline.

Re: Show me your Game Used NFL Helmet

I'd love to know the answer to that as well? I have a Jake Long game used helmet that came from the Dolphins with a COA, from 2008...it has a metallic white paint job, but it's not nearly as metallic, or glittery as that Hartline helmet. I only own one Dolphins helmet, so I can't really compare year for year...but I will tell you that my 2008 helmet isn't as dense with metallic flakes.

Does anyone know when Dolphins switched to ultra metal flake?
