The one in the top left corner looks black to me. (not Navy) Is it?

When was the off-color gold on the bottom row?

That's pretty cool, would be nice to see a year chart for them. And what is the one with the three stars?

 

[Fatmike91]

Didn't we have a new/different helmet on Saturday?

2008 Mustard Uniforms.

Really? I thought those were mustard, and that one looks like a cheddar. See below....

The one with three stars in the top right is awesome.

1965-1966 Bobby Dodd helmets

What is the story behind that?

What is the story behind that?

Coach Dodd just wanted white helmets

Coach Dodd just wanted white helmets

No, I meant the stars

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

No, I meant the stars

I think that was like the helmet stickers you sometimes see today

 

[Jd89]

Black watch is my favorite as it was only for defense. The stars are crazy cool maybe good for one old school throwback.

1965-1966 Bobby Dodd helmets

And the stars in the graphic are waaaay too big for what they actually were.... refer to page 349 of Clean Old Fashioned Hate to see one of the 1966 helmets with a star .

That is the 1965 helmet that the Cowboys copied the uniform and used the lone star.

I was just going in order and the mustard was my guess.

We should’ve worn the plain white ones with the stripe for the white out.
