Here is a mid 1970's Broncos Riddell PAC-3 helmet.
Super nice helmets sjsinohio! Unfortunately though, it looks like the decals were replaced at sometime. The one on your helmet are consistant with the 92-96 redesign. Here is a pic of the difference. Slight difference, but, as you can see, a more simpler design then their 70's - 80's version pictured on the left. A lot of people are unaware of these changes, so I just thought I would share. However, this doesn't mean the helmet isn't original, and I would never suggest otherwise.
Thanks for the info, abstractheory. I guess they kept those old PAC-3 helmets around for quite some time. The helmet is actually dated 1978 so I should have described the helmet as a late 1970's vs. mid 1970's. It didn't have a facemask on it when I got it so I put on one that fit the existing drill holes. I should put a white facemask on it.
sjsinohio - is that Eagles Gladiator kind of a slightly metallic green? I only remember them having that color for the first two seasons of the green/grey pants look so that would be 1974/75. It seems like they started going back to regular kelly green in '76 when Vermeil became their head coach and they also had a lot of players switch over to the MaxPro helmets (at least I think it was MaxPro by '76 but they might have still been Marietta for that season).
1) On the left 2006 Greg Spires game used Revolution helmet
2) On the right - Darian Barnes 2002 game used helmet, worn in 2002 NFC title game, NFC divisional game vs. 49ers and in SUPER BOWL XXXVII vs. Oakland Raiders
I am STILL looking for a Bucco Bruce game used Bucs helmet. If you got one email me at jahimiak33@yahoo.com
