Cujo Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'll take a guess and say it was the NY Giants in 74 or 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sj32 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 i believe it was the steelers The Steelers still had gray facemasks in Super Bowls IX (1974) & X (1975). I don't think they changed to black until 1977 or 78. The Chargers already had yellow facemasks by that time and I think the Giants, Broncos and maybe the Browns had already gone to white facemasks by then.According to Helmet Hut it was the Chargers. The second story on this page has the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
