More of a rugby helmet. Mr Burns' helmet always confused me until I learned it used to be rugby. *Forward pass was introduced in 1906. While I'm not sure how it was played I imagine it was more rugby style than what it is today.

Oh cool, hadn't even thought about Monty's helmet and did not know about the forward pass!

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).
