- YA Tittle was a beast during his 17-year HOF career in the 40's, 50's, and 60's. When a special client came up with the idea to create a classic helmet with a modern twist, we knew we had to bring it to life on video.

UPDATE: Thx for all the comments explaining why Tittle wore a helmet with a handle. He broke his jaw while playing with the 49'ers and the handle was added for extra protection and to give extra support of the facemask. Tittle did not where this design after he was traded to the Giants which truely makes this helmet a one of a kind.
@greengridiron Can you guys do the new helmet Marcus Mariota is wearing? It is a speed flex with a custom 808 facemask.
Wear*
How could I get my hands on that MD helmet behind you?
Green Gridiron why’s the Riddell precision fit so expensive compared to vicis now
Green Gridiron maybe do alternate NFL logos on helmets
Do a sean Taylor helmet build with the taped up mask
Oh yeah👍🏻😮
Best comment ever 🙌🙌
R.i.P great idea
Yes
I can get on board with that.. lol
50 years from now all the helmets on your wall will be goofy looking.
Can't argue with that.
brownstar38 for sure
brownstar38 probably
Shoot even now the first revolution helmet is goofy
Unless it becomes flag football in 50 years....
I did some research on the helmet the "handle" was put on the helmet to prevent a second fracture to ya tittles jaw
Makes perfect sense! Thx Brennen
Brennen Maloney nice info
It also looks like something a mouthguard could have been put in when needing to talk...
I did some research on the helmet the "handle" was put on the helmet to double as a water cup, as the Giants were saving money on reducing small expences such as drinking cups, extra pens, paper clips, etc!
Very smart
This was an amazing idea. Would LOVE to see more throwback helmet builds in the future🔥🏈
1975 Dallas Cowboys bicentennial helmet with the two bar or Ken stabler raiders helmet with the smiley face sticker on the back
What an awesome build and idea definitely do more videos of the classic helmets such a cool piece!! I’d love to see a restoration process video for one of these bad boys of the paint work and liner
Hmmm...might just have to make that happen.
Absolutely agree with this!
That is super weird looking. Keep up the good work guys. Like the history lesson with the build. Nice seeing where it started from. Nice learning some history that I didn't know about.
I honestly love this! The giants are my favorite team. Keep it up
Was expecting a visor 😂
Haha not this time
Green Gridiron 😂😂😂
He goes to every game with the licenseplateguy. Very cool helmets! Seen many of his
I love this build man and I would love to see my Steelers helmets be in a build. This video somewhat changes up what we’re used to and adds a little “bizzas” to the channel! Great vid guys!!
These helmets are built by Gridiron Memories in Indiana. They are duplicated exactly right down to the same threads used in the simple webbing style suspension liners. It is an RK Riddell helmet. The RK was basically born as Riddell began making helmets for US Army paratroopers late in WW2. Riddell also made another style shell called the TK...which didn't have the 'bubble' shape ear area protrusions the RK had and looked more like the more modern VSR helmets in the 80's and 90's. Both models had the web suspensions in different versions depending on the version year. The RK and TK helmets were designed to fit close to the head and needed to be spread opened when placing them on your head. The 'handle' device on this one was there as a special design as Title had a broken his right jaw and it made the helmet more rigid. It was considered a form of protecting the healing process while he continued to play after the injury.
You guys should do a rookie build i.e. Baker Mayfield Browns helmet. Although, I would love to see a Bradley Chubb Broncos helmet build
Oh, we'll have some rookie builds coming for sure!
Yall should do a shaquem griffin build
Oh it'll be here this season
Bobby Glory sorry I would give you a like but you have 69 likes and I can’t change that
Nice

Tbh I really appreciate the fact u took the time to go back in time to do something like this also r.i.p. to everyone who was injured or lost there life in the Madden shootings today
for real, sad day
Visor meets facemask
Exactly!
You guys make the best helmets ever!!!Keep up the good work!😊
You guys should do a Saquon Barkley NY giants build. Would love to see that.
It's on the list!!
If YA played 17 years in that junk, imagine if he had access to a like a Riddell Speed Flex. He might have played for 40 years. Lol
Evan Cornell Great point!!
Evan Cornell and with all the new rules with safety.
back then it was not just the helmets but also the hits they would take to the head were brutal
I have a pre-1955 Riddell RK2 suspension helmet just like this Y.A. Tittle one. These pre-1955 helmets were worn also by Johnny Unitas, Y.A Tittle, Frank Gifford, Chuck Bednarik, Joe Namath, Ben Davidson, Jim Otto, Sonny Jurgensen, Roman Gabriel, Sam Huff, Joe Kapp, Jim Marshall and many others. They are really the iconic old-school helmets that are great for display purposes. The helmets they have now look more like motorcycle helmets and they are really goofy looking to the helmets made in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's helmets.
More college throwback builds like Heisman winners. Such as Marcus Allen, Barry Sanders, Ricky Williams, and Tim Tebow etc. would be awesome if you did
Easier said than done. A lot of those guys had pieces on their helmets that are extremely difficult to find now. Might have to do a modern take on a what they wore.
Green Gridiron even that would be cool. do them on like an schutt air xp or a Rawlings helmet since they have that traditional look to them. Would really be sweet to see them in a little revamped look with still that traditional style helmet. Started doing a collection of my own like that. Think it would be awesome to see you guys do it
Y.A. was a family friend. Being from his hometown is so awesome. Great man, who is missed. Named the facility after him.
Please please please do more helmets like this. Also, schutt pro air 2 and Riddell VSR4 for custom players would be great, too.
This is really cool, really like the builds and I am a fan of nostalgia. I did a little research about the metal piece attached to the helmet and this is what I was able to find out...
On the cover of the November 1954 issue of Sports Illustrated, Y.A Tittle is on the cover wearing the "Lucite" facemask which was very popular in the mid 50's. He's also wearing a special bar to protect an injury he had to the right side of his face.
Tried to help solve the mystery :o)
It all adds up. Always seems to be a reason. Thx Michael!
Dude that chrome red falcons helmet in the back is amazing, I wanna buy it.
Thanks!
Email us at sales@greengridiron.com and we can help with making one like it
They should bring back the transparent facemask
Imagine? That may be pretty cool
They shouldn’t though because I watched a video on them and so when they would play in the cold weather the helmets face mask would break when they got a hard hit
Wow those are like those helmets on madden it’s called like a Riddell tk. I’m just glad they’ve came to what they are now
Virone Devine I watch your videos
Playing football in England we had very limited resources as a team and helmets were just a case of if it roughly fit, you could wear it. It's quite amazing for me to see just how intricate and detailed helmets can be - aswell as all the variation that exists. Had no idea of the different aspects of helmets
Oh cool. Yeah man check out greengridiron.com
Love seeing that 14 on a Giants helmet. My favorite number on my favorite team never get to see it cuz it’s retired for the great Y.A. Tittle
Dont like the old helmets but I love watching the build of them
Please make his 49er helmet because that looks beautiful and it’s a wonderful tribute to a beast of a player
Love seeing the process of a throwback
Thx Josh!
This thing is really cool🔥👍🏻
When you choose the Vintage TK helmet in Madden Player Creator
This is so awesome
Cool 50's era helmet. The face guard was made of lucite plastic. It was tried for a short time before metal bars were introduced.
Cool, thanks for sharing ✌🏻
Yeah! I wore a suspension helmet in youth football back in 74' and it was flat on top like that one but had bulging ears.
love the videos keep up the good work
Great video, can y’all please do a Ole Miss powder blue helmet I think y’all could make it look so cool.
Stick with old helmets because obviously the sport is old and we need to see the history or the evolution of football.
Ok cool.
I mean it’s not that old, there are sports from centuries ago that don’t get as much recognition
Holla
Great job!! I have no idea what that gray thing was, but it looks like you could cut your hand if you got it stuck in there! Y.A. was arguably one of the best quarterbacks the Giants ever had!!
Did you know that the rams were the 1st team to have a design on their helmets
Yup, true story!
Hand painted on all the helmets by halfback Fred Gehrke. I believe he went in to the HOF for it
Great build! I like it! Please do a Dez Bryant helmet build with the chrome mirror Oackley visor or a Ezekiell Elliott helmet build with an UA green/blue visor! I think that maybe, maybe looks awesome!😉😉😉 jajaja
This is so cool
I am a big giants fan I would like to see some more videos like this
That vikes helmet with the yellow facemask🔥🔥🔥
Texas Longhorn Chrome build?
Y.A. Tittle was the 1st person I thought of before I clicked on this ..
Side story; My 95 year old Father in law shared a room with YA Tittle at LSU in the 40's and is to this day a huge LSU Fan
**Tittle played 17 years between the AFL, NFL and NFL (Modern)
We got my FIL an LSU Joe Burrow Jersey that he's wearing for the Super Bowl because he's just the biggest Joe Burrow fan now too
Yes I have seen the helmet guy!
Im not even a fan of most of the team's helmets on the wall, but they are so undeniably awesome.
That's good with us✌🏻
Great video! Keep striving😂
Thanks Josh!
You should take an old helmet and see how much to date you can make it
The handle is a stabilizer for the clear face mask it would tend to come off easily so the trainer for the 49ers put that handle stabilizer bar to stabilize the face mask and protect his jaw more
Makes perfect sense! Thanks!!
Green Gridiron Holla!!!
I like your video’s I don’t have a helmet but I want one!!
Maybe the coffee handle holds a mouth guard? Or the chin strap when you’re not buckled in? But I’m not sure when mouth guards were enforced
Cheers!
ooooh that shiny Saints helmet , wish they wore that
🔥for real
Yah
All the shiny face masks and helmets are great
I love this
Please do more classic helmets!
Modernized
AKA: put stickers on it
Your channel is so cool
Would be amazing if someone invented an outfit for football players that is able to resist any type of hit without getting injured or feel nothing but a pintch. Hopefully we will see a futuristic helmet and gear soon.
For sure. Hey man, the future will bring some crazy tech
Man, you sound just like John Krasinski. I couldn’t help but think about him halpert from the office whenever you spoke 😂
🤣🤣
Still waiting on the ravens build 😪
On the list!
The metal thing looks like it would hold a walkie-talkie or one way speaker so the QB could hear the play calls
Can you do Lawrence Taylor’s helmet plz
One of these days. LT was a BEAST!!
What if the chinstrap dident fit u how would u adjust them
Anyone know where you can get NFL helmet decals?? I have a silver blank helmet. I'd love to make it look more realistic.
Could you do a Dallas Cowboys chrome package and a Texas Longhorns blacked out package?
Both sound like great ideas! Thx Jon!!
Very cool ....
I know this video is old from when I'm viewing this but can you do Terrell Suggs' custom riddell speedflex with a custom facemask
I remember hearing that the handle was used as a shock absorber to protect YA’s jaw.
Correct 💪🏻
Can you plz do more of these old helmet videos
I would like to see you do some USFL helmets
If going old school again, I think Cleveland Browns Otto Graham build would be great to see
Favorite video
This video was really nostalgic
Can you guys make a custom del rio rams helmet for me size medium small
I wanna see an old school notre dame helmet with a green visor, that would be dope. like the era where the bar was straight down the middle, really anything old school with a black or colored visor would be cool but i played pop warner in the 90s and we had the worst equipment like the entire team qb and all had the bo jackson helmet, only cool thing is we were the bengals and one year got the strips but after about 1 game they all were halfway ripped off lol
Great video even though I'm a cowboys fan
Won't hold that against you! haha...Thx!!
My 3rd cousin is Troy Aikman swear to god
Can you make a seahawks 70s helmet modernization?
Can you do a Browns VSR4?
I love the ny on the helmets always have but I miss the task era road uniforms
I need help putting my speedflex quick realease points on they keep popping out
They can be tough but once they're engaged, they should not pop off. Are you getting them to fully click?
Do an Ezekiel Elliot OSU/Cowboys helmet like you did the Saquon Barkley Penn State/Giants helmet
You should do a Boise State (Leighton Vander Esch) helmet
