I repeat slampiece pics on pg 2. Ask nicely and Ultimate may share the nudez. el oh el.

Got a day and a half left to bid on it? Curious how they got the hammers on them already. Looks like the eqpt. guy is needing to make some scratch on the side or a real deal Tyler Wilson helmet?

Well, it is a helmet that is used for protecting the head of an athlete in the sport known as football. So yes, it is a legitimate helmet.

I hate to be a downer, but the description leads me to believe that it is fan made with authentic stickers. I do think that the helmet is legit just not direct from the school but it would still make a nice show piece, JMHO

Most likely, but it's a great replica if so.

Official:


eBay:


It doesn't look as Matte to me as the official? Might just be the angle/lighting though.

I usually do not like alternate uniforms or any of that crap but I have to admit these look awesome.

Yup, not the same matte finish.

It's probably not that hard to snag some decals but still would take some inside work.

The tail of the hog in the official picture points to the halfway point of that air vent. The Ebay helmet in question shows the tail pointing to the bottom of that vent. It is still a cool looking replica, just depends on if you want to spend that money on a replica or authentic helmet.

If this was Bama, everyone would be laughing their arse off that some gump was gonna pay hundreds of dollars for a homemade replica of some helmet that's only going be used in a game once. Just saying.

Good eye, yeah the angle of the Hog is quite a bit off now that you point it out. Not really very close.

Guess my eye was a couple minutes slow. My bad.

Not too hard to stencil a 24 on the side of a helmet.

Hog fans have $ to burn since we don't spend shite on dental care, road construction, or college tuition. Our Pop Tart, Little Debbie, and Dr. Pepper bills are sky high though.

I think our helmets are the best looking in the conference now. That matte finish makes the red pop and matte white has always been sexy.
