Date Posted: 21:09:02 01/15/05 Sat In reply to: Sec19Row53 's message, "Re: 1973 Eagles - no black outline here" on 09:16:40 01/12/05 Wed >Next up, the fabled dual helmets of the 1969 Eagles (I >don't think it happened, and I doubt they used a white >wing for just one year). sec19, i'm with you 100% on the eagles helmets of 1973. however, there is NO doubt the eagles wore GREEN helmets on the road and WHITE helmets at home. on another forum, i cited proof from a 1973 nfl book from a game between washington and philly from franklin field with tom woodeshick wearing a white helmet. and from my copy of the super bowl iv program where there's aphoto from that same game where tim rossovich and ron porter are featured in the white helmet. also from the sb iv program from the last game of the season for philly at kezar stadium (sf), where george mira and leroy keyes are wearing green helmets. since then, i have searched the proquest newspaper database with the new york times and washington post archives, and cite additional information: 10/6/1969 washington post. page b6. photo from dallas at philadelphia game of 10/5. al nelson in WHITE helmet. 10/14/1969 new york times. page 59. photo from philadelphia at baltimore game of 10/13 (rescheduled from 10/12 due to orioles post-season conflict). irv cross in GREEN helmet. 10/14/1969 washington post. page d1. additional photo from eagles at colts game in baltimore of al nelson in GREEN helmet. 11/3/1969 new york times. page 66. two pictures from philadelphia at new york game of 11/2. both show eagles in GREEN helmets. 11/10/1969 washington post. page b1. photo from philadelphia at washington game of 11/9 showing ben hawkins in GREEN helmet. 12/8/1969 washington post. page d1. two photos of the afforementioned washington at philadelphia game (in addition to the two other cited photos above) of the eagles in WHITE helmets. if i have to, i can hop over to my local library to get microfilm of the philadelphia inquirer and see if there photos of each game to determine complete proof of a game by game breakdown. but, i can virtually guarantee that the eagles wore GREEN helmets for ALL AWAY games in 1969, and wore WHITE helmets for ALL HOME games in 1969. trust me on this one sec19!!! timmy b [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
