Custom Mini Helmet. I MAY have many other helmets from this team. Contact me to get more info!!!! PHOTO NOT INCLUDED, JUST FOR REFERENCE
THE GAME PHOTO IS A PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGE. THE HUSKERS HAVE NOT WORN BLUE IN 100 YEARS. We'll start off with something you definitely know, and something you may not have known: What you knew: The 2023 season marks the 100th anniversary of Nebraska playing at Memorial Stadium. What you may not have known: In Nebraska's very first game at Memorial Stadium (October 13, 1923), the Huskers wore blue jerseys. Why did Nebraska wear blue? Per the Omaha World-Herald report from the game: "Oklahoma's colors are red and white and the Nebraskans changed out of courtesy to the visiting team”. * *It is cool to know that "Nebraska Nice" was a thing 100 years ago. What did these blue jerseys look like? Unfortunately, this been lost to time. ............ none of these jerseys remain. Any photographs of the game are black and white. With the 100th anniversary of the stadium this fall, Nebraska is planning to celebrate and honor the stadium's history in 100 different ways. For one game in 2023, Nebraska should wear blue. The concept is relatively simple: Take the classic Nebraska home uniform: white pants with stripes, red jersey, and the iconic white helmet with sans-serif red N. Then, swap the red for blue. Obviously, this isn’t what that first game in 1923 looked like. Heck, we don’t even know what shade of blue NU wore in 1923. But I think this is a fun way to pay a ony. Personally, I'd recommend wearing the blue jerseys either for the home opener against Northern Illinois or in November against Maryland. Both of those teams wear red uniforms, so it could be a nice way to re-create the historical moment - and create a visually interesting color-vs.-color matchup. If Nebraska is going to call back to their first game at Memorial Stadium (which they should), they should go all-in. A thin blue outline on the red uniforms won’t be visible to the fans in the stadium. On TV, it would cause more confusion than anything else. I can hear your screams now: "This is Nebraska! We wear red! We're not Creighton!" I agree. Nebraska - and their fans - love to embrace the program's rich history. The Memorial Stadium centennial will likely be a season-long celebration of NU's history. Besides, It's just one game. (Dave Feit, HuskerMax) Size
3 5/8, roughly 5"x5"x5" Display box / "Original" packaging:
NOT INCLUDED. It will come in a plastic baggie, wrapped in packing paper and mailed in a cardboard box. SHIPPING:
Helmets are made-when-ordered. Please allow 5 days for me to do a good job on your purchase and get it in the mail.
Often I will pre-print a shipping label to be 1/2 step ahead so I can stick the helmet in the mail when ready instead of waiting for a label. That said....you might see in your purchase history that there has been no progress on the item moving through the mail. That is because it has not shipped yet, I just made the label early. Your tracking info can be found in your purchase history. You can also see your expected delivery date.
I appreciate you using that info and letting me focus on making helmets for other customers. It also makes more free time to create new and unique helmets in other styles. DISCOUNTS:
I offer bulk discounts when you purchase 6 or more identical items. Please contact me through eBay messaging. My listings are not set up for the "Make an Offer" feature. I wish I could let it go for a lower price but, you know, I have two kids in college, taxes are killing me, Riddell can't seem to fulfill orders fast enough, and my gouts is flaring up. THE SALES PITCH:
The materials (shells, masks) are made in Mexico by Riddell. Completed helmets are MADE IN THE USA by a grumpy old, disabled, decorated Veteran. I have a mean German wife so nothing you can say to me can hurt my feelings. OTHER OPTIONS:
If you are interested in other versions for this team....or ANY team for that matter........shoot me a not and I will refer you to some resources. EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2020, THE MINI HELMETS WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE "Riddell" LOGO ON THE CHINSTRAP OR NOSEPAD. THIS IS DUE TO A CHANGE IN PRODUCTION AND LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS. . WHY SHOULD YOU BUY A MINI HELMET? Think $50 is a lot to pay for a collectible mini helmet? Look at it this way. The going rate for mileage driven is 60 cents/mile. If you drive 90 unnecessary miles you have blown that $50 in gas and wear & tear on your car. You have nothing to show for it. In buying this rare collectible helmet you will have something for years to come. Just think how many times you just blow $50 on eating out when you could have stayed in. What do you have to show for it? A picture of that steak and potato? If you had stayed in that night in June 2020 and bought a mini helmet instead, you would still have a nice display piece of your team. How about that questionable purchase of a fitness machine. It is folded up and sitting in the corner of the garage. Or did you finally get around to selling it on Craig's List or at the yard sale? But noooooooooooo........you just HAD to get that BowFlex. Should I even bring up that Justin Bieber concert your girl made you attend upon penalty of a month long pout? Instead you could have gotten a bunch of mini helmets and had something to enjoy (and not sweat over) for years and years. Life is soooo full of regrets and I just don't want you to regret for the rest of your life that you missed out on this rare item! I really am looking out for you! Your mancave needs this helmet. You owe it to yourself for all that blood, sweat, and tears your team has put you through over the years. And think about it....how many pairs or $50 earrings has your wife bought that are just sitting there in a jewelry box, unseen and unappreciated? This is a chance for you to even the score (just a little bit). SO MAN UP AND BUY THIS HELMET! You don't agree? Take a look at her shoe closet and get back with me...... IF YOU HAVE LOST YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR, ARE A FEMINIST OR AGHORI....YOU MIGHT WANT TO STOP READING HERE. FOR THE LADIES: ? Helmets come statically charged to pick up each and every piece of dust in the house. This is something you can remind "him" of as his collection grows (just like his waistline). ? You can point out the helmets are worn by players who do not sit around all day, eat chips and watch TV. They stay in shape, work out, and bring home lots and lots of money because they love their wives and want her to have lots of shoes and jewelry. ? Helmets are ergonomically engineered so that they are easy to grip and throw across the room if necessary. ? They are cheaper than Harleys or Corvettes. ? If the "headache" excuse is not working you can tell him you saw that MyTeamSpirit just listed a bunch of new mini helmets and he should check them out.
HAPPY SHOPPING!
