Name that helmet!

[WARF]

Unknown colleges or defunct leagues... test ur knowledge!

Let's start it off!

[Lou]

I didn't look at anything, and I'll guess Central Texas (if there is a Central Texas)?

[POJO_Risin]

That's a USFL Helmet...with a star on Houston...

I wonder if it's a Jim Kelly model...

the Houston Gamblers...

[POJO_Risin]

You can see the USFL on the front of the helmet...

[Matt White]

Arthur?

[POJO_Risin]

Try this one...

[POJO_Risin]

Here's the helmet insignia...a little clearer...

[TLR]

Memphis Steamboats or something like that...?

[Figs]

Memphis Showboats?

[MAX]

This could become extremely tough if we start throwing in that World Leauge or whatever it was called from the mid 70's.

[MAX]

[ALinChainz]

Not the Memphis Showboats.

The big paddle wheel on the boat is highlighted on their helmet.

With Reggie White dying, I've seen a pic recently.

How the fuck we gonna get this one.

[TLR]

Pojo...

That helmet belongs to the Shreveport Steamers of the World Football League (WFL)...

[TLR]

Max,

That helmet belongs to the Portland Thunder, also of the World Football League (WFL)...

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...once you mentioned the world football league...that was a given it was going to be gotten...

hmmmmm

LMAO!!!

I dropped a huge enough hint but good on you. I barely remember that league. I do happen to remember some of it though as a teeny little kid.

[TLR]

Max, Pojo...

This is the God's honest truth: I didn't even make the "WFL" connection you mentioned until I just now read your last post. lol

I just skimmed what you wrote, Max, and didn't even lend it any thought. I went on the mission without the assistance of your obvious hint!

[POJO_Risin]

The only think I remember about the WFL is that Pat Haden played for the Southern California SUN???? I think they were called?

[MAX]

What I remember about the WFL and just barely that they were the football equivalent of the old ABA. Flashy, bright and loud. Different players wore different colored pants, socks and shit. It was total 70's weirdness.

Groovy, eh?

I remember Haden. He played for the Rams right?

[ALinChainz]

Forget what team, but didn't Czonka, Kiick, and Warfield bolt the Fins for the same WFL team?

[TLR]

Yep, the Rams...one of my favorite all time QBs for some reason. I liked the LA Rams...

[Figs]

They did play on the same team, I think they were on a Sports Illustrated cover together. Southern California Suns - the helmet rings a bell...

I liked him as well but back in that era Bert Jones was my absolute favorite.

[POJO_Risin]

I think they did...

[TLR]

Figs...

Dallas Texans (circa 1960-62)?

[MAX]

Dan Pastorini was a hero as well. The old Oilers with Campbell and Bum chewing tobacco in a cowboy hat as the head coach. Gotta love that shit.

[Figs]

correct, now the Chiefs

[POJO_Risin]

Dallas Texans for the helmet up above...

good pick...

turned into the Chiefs...

STILL pisses me off that Vince Ferragamo (sp?) gets credit for the Rams advancing to the Super Bowl in '79. Haden got 'em there and then got hurt.

Pat Haden was the answer to a trivia contest on ESPN Radio tonight. I was listening while driving when nobody could get the answer. I almost drove off the road screaming, "PAT HADENNNNNNNNN!"

[POJO_Risin]

How about this one...

[Figs]

I was wrong! It was Memphis...

I remember that so well. Didn't Pat break his leg in the playoffs? I know Jack Youngblood did in the NFC Championship but hardly as severe.

[MAX]

Number 21 looks like Dan Fouts. lol.

[MAX]

Hey TLR,

Just humor my memory, was Haden number 11?

[ALinChainz]

Props to WARF.

Killer thread.

[MAX]

My childhood idol right here I say............

http://www.sportsattic.com/nflphoto/photos4/Jones,Bert1.jpg

My dad took me to a game as well at the old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. So I got to see him and Joe Washington LIVE!!!

[Figs]

I'm stumped on Pojo's....

This one is easy to figure out, but I thought it was interesting...

[TLR]

Max,

Not sure what Haden's injury was...don't remember...?

Yes, he was #11. I still have his old football cards. I have NO idea why I like him so much. lol

That's an old Boston Pats helmet right?

[TLR]

Figs,

That would be the BOSTON Patriots...obviously 1960...

[MAX]

Fuck it, Bert is going in my av as of now. :)

[TLR]

I'm not seeing Pojo's last post. Nothing but a red 'x' showing up here...

[Figs]

Yes, Boston Pats - it was new to me....

[MAX]

Easy one right here...........

[POJO_Risin]

I moved away from the pros...

[TLR]

Well, it has to be the Broncos, but heck if I can figure out what year...?

[ALinChainz]

Calgary Stampeders?

CFL?

[MAX]

You got it and it's their first one, like circa 1960-62.

*KIND of patting myself on the back* It was relatively easy and I didn't get the year. I will give myself half credit for that one...lol

[POJO_Risin]

Can you all see this helmet?

[TLR]

I don't know if I've done this correctly (NEVER attached a pic to a msg), but here goes. Forgive if incorrect...

[TLR]

Yep, Pojo...

Hmmm...

[ALinChainz]

[POJO_Risin]

No fucking clue TLR...

Here's a US Pro team for you...

[TLR]

Pojo...

I have NO idea what that helmet is. I give...

[TLR]

Pojo...

That is the logo for the Sacramento Goldminers ('92) of the CFL-USA. lol

[POJO_Risin]

The first helmet is Ohio State the year or two before they went to their traditional Grey with a scarlet stripe...lmfao...

[POJO_Risin]

Sacramento fucking Goldminers?

[TLR]

I should have known it was Ohio State...lmao

Yep, the Sacramento Goldminers. Didn't even know they ever existed until I stumble across that one.

I'm working on that green helmet with the bulldog on it...

[POJO_Risin]

lmfao...yeah...I should have gotten that...

[POJO_Risin]

You're going to laugh your ass off when you find it...

[TLR]

There ya' go...lmmfao

[TLR]

Still looking...not crying 'uncle' YET...

[TLR]

UNCLE

[POJO_Risin]

The Memphis Mad Dogs...from your CFL-USA...lmfao...

lmfao...and skipped right over yours...but saw that one...

[Figs]

Anyone remember this?

[Dave's PA Rental]
