Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant led his 'Bama team to an impressive 6 National Championships in '61, '64, '65, '73, '78, & '79. Perhaps the finest QB to play under Coach Bryant was Joe Namath. Joe wore this style of helmet during his tenure as a Hall of Fame QB. Ken "Snake" Stabler also graced this style, from '65-'67. This helmet version was worn beginning in '62. The 2 bar facemask eventually faded out in the late 60's; however, this shell color & decal style are still worn on the field today.
