WSU151 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 What's the response you're looking for?Looks like this helmet is an old treasure, from the 80s or 90s. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBolt3 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I just came to post that. If this was college, I would say not to look too into it, but I still wouldn't, because, really.Watch this be real, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 There's no way it's real. I saw it on IG, and noticed the facemask and told myself it's not real. As long as the Rooney family is running things behind the Steel Curtain there's no way the Steelers change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest23 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 pretty sure schutt stopped making those masks over 30 years ago...nothing more than an office decoration that's been around since the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPHF Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The chromed chinstrap. The facemask. The lack of any padding. This is clearly just a decorative piece. If the photo went lower, it would likely reveal the helmet to be mounted on some wooden block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRicSlick Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The face mask is way too old, to be real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising yesTo clarify that style (let's call it the Thurman Thomas or Bart Oates) may have been discontinued in '05 but that construction method of that style of mask was discontinued in the 80's. I'm guessing around '88 or so schutt went to a thinner steel and rubber coating construction that they still use today. The best way you can tell is the side fasteners face the opposite direction of modern masks. For reference look back to the 2nd 9ers Bengals superbowl. John Taylor and Jerry Rice both wore the same style schutt mask but Rice had the modern construction and Taylor was the lone holdout with the thicker old style.

hailstateunis Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 It would make for sense for the Steelers to switch to a matte helmet. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLion Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 that look's like a chromed version of Franco Harris' old helmetalthough the hashtag "Behindthecurtain" is somewhat odd considering that was the name for their defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frosty06306 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Mike Tolbert got a chrome Panthers helmet during today's locker room cleanout.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bd3wuZOIUAAboGf.jpgDon't read anything into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Anybody notice the team name? This is obviously something US Steel or maybe Franco Harris or someone gave Art Rooney as a memento. A Steel Helmet OMG LOLZ CUZ THEYRE THE STEELERS. The equivalent of Michael "A Chorus Line" Bennett giving Gerry Schoenfeld, owner of the Shubert Theatre, a silver top hat as a gift.
