These helmets were worn in the 1966 through 1968 Pro Bowls. The red-white striped helmets were worn by the Eastern Conference and blue-striped by the Western Conference. These helmets were included in the Throwback Series 2 set.
In 1969, the NFL added a “50” to the NFL shield logo to commemorate the NFL’s 50th anniversary. Riddell made a helmet for the Eastern conference, but not for the Western conference. The Eastern Conference helmet is in the Throwback 1969 AFC 2-bar helmet set. The Western conference helmet below is a custom (blue stripes).
