Actually here's one more... 1974 Oklahoma Sooners Block OU... It took a long long time to find all of these but good things come to those that wait!

Thoughts? I have never seen a Bama clear shell and a former manager from this period told me he had never seen one either.

Looks like the striping and numbers were added recently. I know that on occasion teams would apply numbers and striping on the outside of the clear shell (defeating the purpose all together) but the amount of use, brightness of the stickers, etc.....something just doesn't feel or look right.

Bama used Macgregor clear shells from 1970 -1975. They never used Kelley's that I ever saw. I have one Macgregor from 1970-71, but it looks pretty rough. I've never seen one that the stripes were added later, the only ones I've seen were factory stripes. The numbers were, of course, decals. The decal font for this helmet is wrong...Bama never used this number font except for one or two seasons in the very early 1960's.

Hello I have decided to sell one of my clear shells. I put it on ebay. Here is the link. I am also considering trades so just let me know. Helmet is in great shape! Was given to original owner from the football program in the 70s. He turned it into a lamp.

http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_f...55971456335495 I think the helmet is new old stock but the jersey is definitely a gamer.Don't ask questions on here about the Steelers logo decal on the helmet or a lynch mob will be after you up in here like they did me a few years ago
