Then it wouldn't be a throwback. We'd be like the Steelers with a modern helmet with 1933 uniforms. That was the whole point of doing the leather, that's what was worn with this uniform. Great move with the black facemask too...since there was no facemask back then, black is the least-visible color. Gold or Grey would have stuck out like a sore thumb.

I love the leather look on the helmet. No one has ever done this before. It's the best part of the uniform in my opinion.
