UnderDogX Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'm not sure if this was shown or not, I tried searching several times only to have firefox lock up...anyway something I stumbled upon over at theforce.net. LT's facemask...I didn't realize customizable facemasks were allowed but apparently they are. Anyway, look familiar??For those who don't see it...it's very similar to Darth Vader...that pic BTW came from the Chargers official website...as well as others that show different angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckymack Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Paul Lukas covered this very issue a few months ago. He tried out several different and unique designs before settling on that one. If memory serves me, I believe Darth Vader indeed was the influence for that particular facemask design. Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 This has been discussed before, in fact I posted on it myself back during training camp. It appears to be a modifed Schutt "Bulldog" mask: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Just a little Gimping. I think you're right about the helmet, skyaa.Does anyone have a picture of him on the bench on sunday's game, with his helmet and jacket on? THAT was Vader-esque!

BBTV Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 The curved "bulldog" part of the mask appears to be narrower on Tomlinson's mask than on the standard bulldog. Perhaps the modification isn't as simple as adding two extra vertical bars.

gingerbreadmann Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 You're probably right, but it's the point that counts, i guess. Plus there's also a horizontal bar that needs to be added too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
