Red and Black Plume

Of course, we’ve included the red and black plume at the top of the helmet. It’s to increase the features and aesthetics of our helmet.

Its plume has a tail that trails off down the helmet’s rear. Instead of just one color, we decided to give it an alternating black and red shade for more appeal.

Today, our plumes on helmets are simply for decoration. Yet in history, these were vital for a warrior going out to battle.

It was essential for their ranks as well.

The plumes were present to make the Spartan soldiers look taller, intimidating, and imposing in battles.

Together with their crests, the plumes identified the unit and ranks of the soldiers as well.

The Historical Troy Helmet

A Trojan helmet or Troy helmet originates from Ancient Greece, in the famous city of Troy. It was mostly preferred by the Greek military soldiers from the sixth until the eighth century.

The soldiers also utilized this helmet during the famous Trojan war, which took place during the Bronze Age.

Generally, the ancient Troy helmet was bronze, but other constructed helmets were black, silver, or brass.

The Troy helmet’s design was impressive, and it allowed individuals to determine a warrior’s rank. It was easier for them to determine other warriors with the plume when the battlefields were full of dust clouds.

Not only that, but the plume made the wearer appear taller, which effectively intimidated opponents. Usually, the plume was red, orange, or black.
