Wow, excellent! Now I am wondering: did the Arena league actually obtain a bunch of helmets from the Dallas Cowboys for use during this game?

I was leaning towards thinking that the Metros were using maroon or burgundy helmets, but the player's shirt at 0:58 in the video sure does look black, doesn't it?

Now I'm wondering why, if the shirts and helmets are black (they appear to be the same color in the video) there would be what looks like a Washington Redskins decal (partially covered up) on the sides of the helmet?

The helmets and jerseys look black to me, but
At first I thought the "feather" in the picture you posted was just a glare from the lights, but in this photo it's sure seems to be part of the decal or the decal underneath.

Also you can see where the co called Miami Vise logo came from.
BTW - I like your image of the Politicians helmet with the points of the star sticking out, although I a sure that was not the look they were going for. That might have been just on that helmet.
