Panthers Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Did the Falcons ever consider a white helmet? I heard the considered one as their original helmet and again in 1974. Any pictures would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logoman Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yes, they did consider changing to a white helmet. Helmet Hut has a picture of the prototype on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I've seen that prototype around as well -- with a red outine on the black falcons logo. Good call by ATL on not making the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 from helmethut.com 1974Looks like they were tired of looking like Georgia and decided to try Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Definitely the right call. I do like the red-white-black striping though.

Bmac Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 That helmet was brought up in a thread I made a while ago. There are some cool pics of protoypes in it. http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?sh...c=63687&hl= I'm not sure if the pics are still there though. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAtnip Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Here is what I have been told was a Falcon's prototype being worn by Tommy Nobis. Not white, however it apparantly made it past the "concept" stage to at least one actual helmet. I have always assumed the helmet was red and the logo was black. It appears to have a black/white/black striping pattern as well. Any new insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEWJ Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Sorry this is kinda off topic, but I didn't want to start a new topic for this.But I've never seen this helmet.Apparently it's a prototype for the Seahawks. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdub81 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Sweet looking logo...almost looks sorta' tribal to me. I think the metallic mint green paint is unique but would have looked better if the logo had the same dark blue as the facemask has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not a Seattle Seahawk prototype... maybe a Middleburg High School Seahawk prototype. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
