Here is a replica of the mythical 1989 "Headress Helmet" that was supposedly being considered by the then new Carl Peterson front office.

Here's the link to the "Uni Watch" story. A nice, light, and retro read.

I agree Will..

Update it but keep the black face mask. I like the Headdress, when i think of a Chief I picture one with a Headdress.

I think they should get some new uni's though, maybe not this one even though I kind of like it except the back.

A slight update is needed and I hope it comes with the Nike transition next year

Clark Hunt won’t change much, but I think he needs to look at two examples for an update: the New York Giants and our AFL Dallas Texans uniforms. If we add more metallic to the helmet, go to a classic grey facemask, and switch to black shoes, we’re money.
