Essentially their helmets looked like an old fashioned bowling ball that had been shined up.
Anyway, today all teams have their helmets molded and the ink color blended in to the poly. They are all either gloss or metallic.
And I just noticed, all except the Steelers.
They are still clearly painted flat black and oiled/shined. Such an unusual thing.
You can see what I'm referring to in this picture, but if you look for it, it's clearly evident in pretty much every picture.
