Black/Eagle Full-Size Replica Helmet

[Fry Guy]

Just wanted to let everyone know that Pro Image Sports in the Golden Triangle Mall now carries the Black "Son of Worm" Schutt AiR XP Full-Size Replica Football Helmet. Note: These are the same black helmets that debuted last year during the nationally televised game against Louisiana Tech, and not the brand new black helmets that were recently pictured during the unveiling event for this year's uniforms.They feature a tapered black center strip with repeating miniature eagles in gray. The replica helmets can be had for $130, and there is also an authentic version that can be special ordered for around $300. Just FYI.

No, sorry. I didn't think to take a picture while I was in there. It's basically the full-size version of this helmet:

Uhh....

The helmets in the video WERE the La Tech game helmets. We aren't getting new black helmets. Just new green sparkle paint ones to match the new uniform color and a new SOW sticker with a black outline.

You sir, are 100% correct. I didn't see the familiar center stripe at first glance, and thought they might be sporting a slightly different black helmet this year. But, after watching the video even more closely, I completely concur. They are the exact same helmets. Thanks for pointing that out!

So, I know the HOD bowl was a while ago now, but does anyone know if the Athletic Department has any of those helmets for sale still? I always wanted one, but was a student at the time and couldn't afford it... If not, one of these might have to suffice...

Some teenage father who happened to be the best head-on view of the helmet.

Our only hope. 

If you think he is any kind of hope for us, you haven't been keeping up with who is on the roster (and who is not).

It's amazing.   That's three guys who could likely play QB better than Mini Mac while wearing that helmet.

I've already posted this in another thread, but it's worth mentioning here also. The black/eagle full-size replica helmet is now available at the stadium store as well. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they're selling for around $120 there.
