For sale is an ORIGINAL, RARE, vintage full size, yellow & burgundy football helmet of the Washington Redskins. This is a Rawlings helmet, worn by kids. Well used! Note that the interior padding has been removed, but the strapping still remains. Stickers are intact, though damaged. This is not a replica. This is the real deal! People are paying $18 just for the mini-gumbail version. Imagine owning the full size version! No chinstrap included.Look...s AWESOME in a man-cave!Here's a history of the helmet, which was used only for the 1970-71 season:After Vince Lombardi’s departure and subsequent death in 1970, the Redskins adopted a helmet shell and logo eerily similar to that of the Green Bay Packers, the team Lombardi coached into a dynasty during the 1960s. This helmet dropped the burgundy shell in favor of yellow-gold, featuring an ‘R’ within a circle with two feathers hanging from the circle.It was a look that critics and fans panned alike and demanded a return to the traditional burgundy shells, which both then and now have been a unique helmet color in the NFL, as no other team shares such a shell.Shipping is $15. Thanks.
