Ohh, yes. I see it. Ya the flames are going the wrong way on the helmet eh? Looks awkward. I find the flames too busy, and was never a fan of the captain crunch logo either.
The big white "R" is the best. Although I didn't mind the red helmets from 1962 $ 1963 with the horse and rider. I liked the Renegades logo, because it was somewhat connected to the Riders past logo. By the way, CFRadmin, your blog is absolutely fantastic. I have collected Riders stuff & photos too.
Did you just screw me out of a 1984 media guide on e-bay then? I was fighting tooth and nail with someone over a bunch of media guides from between 1977 and 1984 and lost out on that one.
I loved that logo. I can see how it’s not very traditional. But I thought it looked great at the time (and I still do). I see what you mean, CRF, about the flames going the wrong way on Terry Baker’s helmet … but to me that looks pretty intentional, and I don’t see a huge issue with it (flames flow backwards on both sides of the helmet). But if it was like that on some helmets but not others … then there’s a problem.
btw, those all-black uniforms look really good, especially with the big white R.
