Game Worn Green Bay Packers Throwback helmet. The Packers wore the Brown helmets for just two seasons - 2010 and 2011. Today, the NFL has a rule that throwback helmets have to be the same helmets that are used during the season. Today, the Packers simply remove the decals from their metallic yellow-gold helmets and use them for their throwback games. The Packers sold most of their 2010 helmets through their website and many of the 2010 and 2011 helmets were sold through their Pro Shop. These helmets always had all of the Players identifiers removed prior to selling in the Pro Shop. This helmet is a Schutt XP model helmet in an XL size with an ROPO-DW-XL facemask installed. This is the same model helmet and mask combination that was worn by star Tightend Jermichael Finley. Finley was the only player on the Packers to wear this style of facemask. As there are no player identifiers, it is tough to determine if Finley wore this helmet in either 2010 or 2011 - if at all. We are selling this helmet as an authentic Packers game used helmet - and a style worn by Finley. The helmet has a 2010 datecode and the facemask has a datecode of 2011. The helmet could have been worn in 2010 with a different mask or as it is in 2011. An outstanding helmet - great to display.
