Illinois Fighting Illini 1983-87 'Jack Trudeau' Vintage Full Size Helmet

Illinois Fighting Illini 1983-87 'Jack Trudeau' Vintage Full Size Helmet - Just as they were produced over 40 years ago, these vintage suspension helmets are individually painted, with hand-applied decals/striping, and manually assembled from more than seventy 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 football's "golden" era of the 1950s and 1960s. 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.
