Athletics (Oakland)
Dates used: 1968 - 69
Inside of helmet: Foam padding, which is missing Manufacturer: Sports Product Corp. Logo: real sticker Thoughts: This is a helmet I always assumed existed, and now I have the proof. There was a short time where the A's logo did not have the apostrophe "s" on it and here is the proof! Good luck finding this one. |
Dates used: Never as a helmet
Inside of helmet: N/A Manufacturer: Me, literally Logo: sticker Thoughts: Another of my "What If?" helmets. It would have been weird to see them in a helmet like this, but they did wear a cap like this as is evident by the photo, but come to find out it was just a cap worn by the managers. |
Dates used: Never??
Inside of helmet: Adjustrap Manufacturer: K2/Rawlings? Logo: screen printed Thoughts: This fatter "A" apparently is just a different style of "A" used by the souvenir companies. It also appears that the A's at sometime have chopped off the little swirl to the lower right of the "A" logo on their helmets, but not on their caps! How bizarre. |
Dates used: 1975 - 79
Inside of helmet: Grey Adjustrap Manufacturer: Fotoball Logo: screen printed Thoughts: Another Retro Helmet put out in 2003. The logo is huge, the green is terrible, and I'm not impressed. It's kelly green, not pale seaweed green boys! Plus, there is that stupid TM logo again. At least it's tiny on this helmet. |
Dates used: 1993 - Present?
Inside of helmet: Adjustrap Manufacturer: Sports Product Corp., A Subsidiary of Laich Logo: screen printed Thoughts: This is the only helmet like this I have found, but I'm sure there would be others out there. Maybe this was a throwback, but it wasn't made by Fotoball. At the moment, unless I hear otherwise, this helmet was never worn by the A's |
