Braves (Atlanta)
Dates used: 1966 - 71
Inside of helmet: Foam padding, which is missing Manufacturer: None listed Thoughts: Another strange helmet. This one has a safety sticker in it and that is it. There are no identifying features as for manufacturer. The photo to the right is about as close as I can find to it. A great find! |
Dates used: 1966 - 71, 2009- Present
Inside of helmet: grey Adjustrap Manufacturer: none listed. It has a Franklin name on the back of the helmet, but that is typically an advertisement so I'm guessing Fotoball or Rawlings and possibly a promotional helmet. Logo: screen printed Thoughts: All I have to say is I hate the "TM" symbol where it is placed. Give me a break. |
Dates used: 1982 - 86
Inside of helmet: Adjustrap Manufacturer: U.S. Cap Company Logo: screen sticker Thoughts: Another "duck bill" helmet, but the strange thing about this helmet is that this company got it right for once. The Braves did have a hat that had a red outline around the "A" logo. I'm still trying to figure out the years this lasted. |
Dates used: never
Inside of helmet: Adjustrap Manufacturer: Fotoball/Rawlings Logo: screen printed Thoughts: I don't think the Braves have ever worn this helmet. It is also the only one I have ever found. It does have a Turner Field $10.00 sticker on the inside so it wasn't a promotional, but who knows? |
