Both of these are my favorite.

I wore this facemask for my junior and senior year. I liked the design and I could see out of it without worrying about being poked in the eye.

I love the simplicity of this facemask, but I like that extra bar just under the rubber bumper.

and I always liked Thurman Thomas' facemask.

you rarely see running backs (or anyone these days) with the bar down the middle.

and I've always liked qb's in this facemask

I like the first revo facemasks

[Chawls]

The facemask and the visor.

[aci]

I like that Vader mask.

[neo_prankster]

I like that Vader mask.

That one I like only because it didn't have as many bars as LT's Vader mask in his last couple seasons in SD:

My old Dungard from high school (circa 1976-78):

Best combo: Ronnie Brown's sunburst visor, with that facemask and helmet colour combo, was gorgeous.

Personally, I think Dennis Dixon has the best taste in helmets/accessories.

I don't know if anything will ever top this one. Perfect in its simplicity.

Sadly, it seems like this design might be dying out as more and more QBs switch over to the "new version" of it.

Also, I want to go on record and say that I hate this one:

[fkaKrock5cent]

Either this...

or that

Both of those are on my favorite helmet, the Schutt Air XP

This conversation starts and stops right here:

Worn by this guy:

Loved it...I'm surprised no one else in the league wore that style at the time.

[TopCat]

Yeah, Larry Fitzgerald's is crap. I like that Revo Speed one but I usually like any facemask a running back pairs with a visor. It looks pretty badass.
