Description
- Vintage suspension helmets that were the choice of virtually every professional and collegiate team in football's "golden" era of the 1950s and 1960s.
- Almost two years were spent to retool and recreate the voluminous manufacturing processes required to reproduce this helmet in its exact, original form.
- For each team countless hours of research are required to insure that each team's helmet logos and striping are properly recreated to accurately reflect the designs used during the "throwback" era.
- Maybe you wore one of these helmets. Or you had the honor of seeing many of the game's legends wear them as they played the game. You understand what this means to you. This is for you. You can bring back those great memories - and keep them close to you.

Just as they were produced over 40 years ago, each helmet is individually painted, with hand-applied decals/striping, and manually assembled from more than seventy (70) parts. The machine-sewn leather jaw pads, vintage face mask, riveted-in military style patented cloth-suspension and classic flared shell shape and size make the helmet immediately identifiable with that great era of football. The smallest details, such as using the original brown thread stitching in the cotton suspension and using only original thin mil decals and striping (underneath suspension rivets) has not been overlooked to insure that these reproductions are accurate.
