Yeah - I think the color has been fairly consistent since 1956. As we have used both Schutt and Riddell over the years, there have been both slight variances in hue, as well as advances in helmet manufacturing that have altered the appearance of the helmet.

Yes, precisely. The base hue has remained constant, but the technological advances in helmet design coupled with dramatic changes in television cameras and set resolution have altered their appearance slighty.
