I figured this would be the place to get help with all you old time skins fans here. I have this very larger print (5' x 3' roughly) and cannot figure out what game it is from. Maybe someone here can help me out?

Thanks for any help.

theninja

That's a picture of the last time the Seahawks won a playoff game.

i'm not even sure who the other team is. that thing is rough. but kinda cool.

sorry. good luck.

Oh yeah! I remember that game. That's gray blotch just to the right of the goal post is me!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

The Redskins only wore that helmet from 1970-71, so i've narrowed it down that far for ya.

Can't make out the other team.

just a guess Allens first win against the Rams?

I know exactly what the picture is.

Clearly someone took a picture of a picture here. Look at the reflection on the glass cover. So its a picture of a picture. I win the prize.

Looks like a home game. I get the feeling its 1971.

Yes!!! 1971.....Marv Levy brought his Bills in that day and won a 24-23 squeeker.........

This picture is in a metal frame with a glass cover and roughly 5 foot tall x 3 foot wide. It was in very bad shape when I got it 5 years ago.

I also think the other team is the Rams (very hard to tell) so that would make it 1971 @ LA Rams. Skins won 38-24. But I am still not positive.

I will get a better pic of it in the daylight and post it.

The goalposts weren't moved to the endlines until 1974. Those posts aren't on the goalline.

It looks like the Rams and Skins with the R in a circle, but it's not 1971, it has to be later due to the placement of the goalposts.

If it is from a home game, which I think it is these are the teams it could be:

Lions

Bengals

Vikings

Cowboys

Giants

Eagles

Cardinals

Oilers

Saints

Browns

Riddell says the Skins only wore that helmet from 70-71, so I have to go on that, the depth could be off because of a bad angle which could explain the goalposts looking out of place.

Home game, 1971, early in the season

Maybe the Vikings? White uniforms with a dark helmet?

That would make sense if 1970 and it being a home game are correct.

70 or 71

eagles or Rams, beacause of the shoulder stripes

Those goalposts are "curved" which means that they are definately on the endline. I'm suggesting that those are not the ® helmets and only look like them in the photo.

Also, the curved posts weren't even the 1st sort on the endline. Those were of the "high school" variety(straight).

This picture is either dr.ed or isn't nearly as old as it appears.

You do have 89, 64 and 63 of the opponents. Looks like 46 or 48 and 53 for the Redskins. If '71 couldn't be the Vikes, could be if it's '70. If its '71, I'd think its the Eagles.

Two updated pics, and I was wrong this sucker is 6 foot tall.

I think that the most odvious thing about the picture is the ® helmets.

It's certainly not the helmet with this as it's logo :logo:

Also, the Redskins have only had 2 colored helmets, Burgandy and Yellow, this picture is clearly of a yellow helmet and not burgandy.

70 or 71

eagles or Rams, beacause of the shoulder stripes

can't be the Eagles, the Eagles had a white helmet with a green wing from 69-73.

but it could be the Rams, they had a dark blue helmet with a white horn.

Edit: I have my doubts about the Rams because you should be able to see the horns on atleast one of those helmets, even from a front view. The horn on that helmet took up a fairly large portion of the helmet, just dosen't look possible.

Definately the ®, but also after 1973.

Try researching the last time that not only the referee wore a white cap.

I just don't see how it could be any year other than 70-71 because Riddell the maker of the helmet says that is the only year that helmet was worn.

Goal line goal posts were curved. This was the second thing done to stop people from slamming into them.

Did the Rams wearn white at home?
