Last week I linked to a Sports Illustrated gallery where they displayed the top 10 masks of the first expansion era. When I saw a new gallery today for top 10 masks of the 90's I just had to link to it. Enjoy!
I agree. In contrast to the 70's masks the 90's versions look a little too professional. This is not to say they're not good. I think I'd rate the Shark's mask #1.

I like the masks from the '70s better. There's something about the vintage designs that's more unnerving than the stuff from the '90s.
I agree. In contrast to the 70's masks the 90's versions look a little too professional. This is not to say they're not good. I think I'd rate the Shark's mask #1.
