1964 Cowboy Helmet Prototype

[obadiah_stane]

Ran accross this at gridironmemories.com, a sight with lots of info about nostalgic football helmets.

Apparently Schramm was considering this helmet change prior to the '64 season. Although the color scheme was what they ended up going with, fortunately the logo with the boot was scrapped.

Wrong. Universal Icons work. Superior Design Wins. Always.

That helpless boot would have served as nothing but a roided Albatross, sinking the franchise two steps lower than the Oilers. FOREVER.

Darwinian forces and God Himself would have puked in harmony upon seeing that. And a choir would have erupted, singing: THIS. SHALL. NOT. STAND.
