CrimsonBull9584 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I found this in a children's book in the library. The book is called "Football for Fun" and is copyrighted 2003. The text does not say who the picture is of, nor the team in question. I've never seen this helmet and uniform before. What team is it? Anyone know?

PaleVermilion81 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Did a quick search on tineye.com, and it appears to be an older Getty image that is no longer active (https://www.tineye.com/search/87963136b52cb5520dd1d32b794d213a5ebccef0/). Could just be a staged photo and isn't actually a real team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I remember seeing a "football team" dressed like this in print ads for TVs long ago. They were superimposed on the screens. Might have been Best Buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Can I ask what page the picture is on? I was able to find a digital copy of the book via Google Books & if I find who took the image, I might be able to find the team. I think it's a small college team, but I'm not certain.

I don't have the book and I took the picture over a week ago. Forgot about it until today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhamen0420 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 My first thought was this helmet of the Portland Breakers, but the colors don't match up. Could easily be a college team that is using the same decal with alt colors. Will look deeper into it. "Roll Along" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlegend1980 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I am guessing it was staged for print media as there are no markinga on his shoes at all. No cleat manufacturer has ever made a cleat without their logo somewhere on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cleat manufacturer has ever made a cleat without their logo somewhere on it. Looks like the cleats are taped to me. Then again, the logo could have been removed in photoshop. As I recall, Topps would do this a lot with their cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I've only seen that helmet for TV ads though it's reminiscent of a NAIA school in Oregon or Washington, minus the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It looks like Georgia's silver britches with the red and black stripes reversed. But the silver helmet is weird. As the tree said to the logger I'm stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It reminds me of the cover of a book that I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
