Can anyone think of a team that in a rough time period of 1987-2002ish wore LIGHT Blue Helmets? A similar kind of blue to say the Sky Blue of Coventry City or Manchester City Football club shirts. I have an old Riddell Lid and It's the most Beautiful Blue, I don't want to spray it another colour and so am looking to replicate an old British teams helmet from this time period, The Kra-lite plastic Facemask limits the era I can replicate. If I can't find a team (And I can't think of one!) then It's going to have to be a North Carolina Tar Heels Helmet.

I know Humberside Liberators used to wear a Blue lid before they were disbanded. I can't remember if it was light blue or not though, They had a white shirt so it might have been.

Thanks for that, I Googled them and found some info on them but found little in the way of Pictures etc that I could go on which would help me replicate the Helmet. Here Is a picture of the helmet I've aquired, I know even less about Euro teams does anyone know if there any teams who have this coloured lids?

Thanks Keith, I've actually just aquired two Slightly Darker Lids that i've earmarked for Leeds and Colchester Helmets. What a brilliant site that is, I wish all the old teams had someone who lovingly gathered all that old stuff, I'm always perusing Britballnow but that Leeds Cougars sites something else!. It's so sad that so much of that history is lost. It's sad to say ('Cos i adore the colour), but I think I'll spray this lid white and make it a Bournemouth Bobcat one (The ugly white Kra-lite facecage is pretty limiting)?As an aside, I viewed all those Receiver mags you made available, Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to put them on your site, they're solid Gold! I've got loads of First Downs and American Football News's up in the loft from 1988-1991 I'm going to dig them out, once I've dusted them off you can borrow them if you like, or maybe you've kept your old copies of them too!?!? ;D
