The Tennessee Titans were born as the Houston Oilers.
This helmet was used in 1987 and possibly a year or two earlier and attributed to Allen Lyday. Deep-seeded gouges are evident on the white plastic shell and there are surface scratches present as well.
Front facemask clips are from 1986-87. Purple, blue and yellow marks penetrate the surface. A transparent warning sticker and Riddell back bumper are featured on reverse.
The inside includes these pertinent identifiers: AF2 gel-filled padding, forehead leather reinforcement, "28" decal (right ear hole) and "28" written (left ear hole).
Gone but never forgotten are the Houston Oilers.
