Details
Officially licensed Riddell collectible.
The Lombardi era at full authenticity is the most historically significant helmet in the NFL collector market. The Riddell Authentic Speed brings the Green Bay Packers' 1961 to 1979 colorway to full NFL spec construction in the Speed shell, the helmet worn during the most dominant dynasty professional football has ever produced built to game level quality with the era specific decal composition and vintage colorway that places this piece in a chapter of the sport's history that no current issue authentic can access. At authentic level the vintage green shell finish has a depth and precision that no replica format at any size can approximate, and the era specific decal at authentic spec reads with a historical fidelity that makes this the definitive version of the most celebrated helmet in professional football history.
Five NFL championships. The first two Super Bowls. The Ice Bowl. Vince Lombardi. Bart Starr. Ray Nitschke. This is the helmet that was on the field for all of it rendered at the highest level of construction Riddell produces. Era specific authentics of the Lombardi era Packers occupy a category so narrow and so specific that serious NFL collectors treat them as the ceiling of the entire hobby rather than just the top of the Green Bay lineup. The combination of full authentic construction and the most historically loaded colorway in professional football creates a piece with a profile that nothing else in the collector market approaches.
The weight, the padding, the shell finish, the hardware, all of it present at game level quality beneath the vintage green and gold that defined the golden age of professional football. For collectors who understand what this era meant to the sport, there is no more important helmet in the Riddell lineup at any price point.
