This helmet is dated initially 2016 (and recertified 2017) so it can't date back to 2010. Also, white helmet shown from 2016 with the orange facemask (and the other two white helmet games that year) actually had a mother of pearl sparkly look to them...this is simply glossy white. (I actually picked up a green-O sparkly white helmet shell as well which I'm gonna put an orange facemask on). It's nice to see that I'm not the only one somewhat stumped by this helmet. haha. Hopefully someone will see it and know a little more but if not...any suggestions as to what color facemask should go on it? White seems like the simplest answer to me...

That's for the reply. This place seems like a great community...I've been a member of many message boards in the past but never one about my beloved Ducks...so I plan on sticking around and being part of the community.

This is my first time posting here...so I hope this is OK to ask this question. I am a lifelong Ducks fan (born and raised in Eugene and graduated from Oregon in 2007). I have been a season ticket holder since 2012 but for the first time ever decided to attend the surplus sale this past weekend. Hoping to snag some sweet gear, I was disappointed to be in nearly the worst possible spot in line with the ticket was drawn...so when I got in there wasn't a lot left. But, I did snag a couple cool helmet shells that will make nice display pieces at home and at work. Initially, I was disappointed but I realized that the shells might actually be fun because I will need to do some research to figure out why type and color of face mask they should have and make a little project out of them. So, I think it will be a fun project. That said, one of the helmets has created a bit of a mystery for me which I am hoping someone here might know the answer too. I have attached photos below. But, it's a "webfoots" themed helmet with an initial certification date of 2016 and a recertification date of 2017. Based on my memory and some research I have done...Oregon did a webfoots themed spring game in 2016 but the helmets were gold in color. In addition, the 2016 Washington-Oregon game had blue webfoot helmets with the state flag. I can't find any other webfoot themed helmets/uniforms. In addition, I can't even find any evidence that a white helmet with a yellow O was used during these years at all (not even in practice photos - which are mostly white with a green O or black helmets during this era). So, I'm kinda at a loss. I suppose someone could have assembled this helmet from a random assortment of parts...but why? At the surplus sale they sell tons of helmet shells without padding or bumpers on them...so I don't see a reason to create a bastardized webfoots helmet. So, I don't really know what to make of this. It's cool looking and I'm glad I snagged it, but it's a mystery to me what it actually is. I also thought maybe it was a mockup design that they never used...but it does show some dings so it saw some kind of action somewhere. If anyone here has any idea please let me know. Also, I know that buy/sell/trade posts are against the rules so as a first time poster I don't want anyone to think that this is some kind of thinly veiled ad. I bought this for my own enjoyment and am not trying to do anything other than learn about it. Thanks.
