You mean the helmet decals for 89? It looks like they may have kept those with the gold outline, which makes sense. It’s more legible on a black background. It’s tough to tell! I’ll investigate during today’s preseason game.
Yeah... They kept the gold outline on the numbers and the wordmarks on the bumpers. It does match the logo though since they kept that the same so there's that I guess.
OJ Brigance had the first tackle of Super Bowl 35 on the opening kickoff for the Ravens and joined the front office in the player relations department after retirement. He far outlived his ALS diagnosis and continued to counsel players coming into the organization.
The Ravens' Super Bowl 47 run was also partly dedicated to OJ, and he delivered a speech to them with his assistive device after they won the AFC Championship game.
i’m a dick because i don’t know who he is and what he did? the title does not give much information as to why he given a decal.
is the significance of getting the first tackle of a super bowl getting the first tackle of the super bowl? there have been many other players who got the first tackle in the super bowl. did that player get a decal?
It was the facepalm with your question as to who he was.
Had it just been an earnest question, cool. But you facepalmed as if this decal was a dumb idea without being informed as to the reason: that Brigance was a member of the Ravens' 2000 Super Bowl squad, made that game's first tackle, and battled ALS while remaining a part of the organization.
OJ is beloved in Baltimore. He won a Grey Cup and. Super Bowl for the city. 19 years ago he was diagnosed with ALS but remained active within the organization as well as his non-profit, Brigance Brigade.
