Game Worn LSU Tigers helmet from 2004. The helmet is a Schutt Pro AiR II model helmet with an original date code of 2004 inside the helmet. The facemask is original to the helmet and was reconditioned by MaskCoaters in the early 2000s. The mask is a Titanium model preferred by the team for its light weight compared to carbon steel models. The helmet is original and complete with the Pro AiR II padding including the size large air bladder and original jawpads. The previously mentioned T-RJOP-DW face mask is secured to the helmet using the original clips and hardware.
The helmet exhibits heavy wear to the exterior, interior, and to the facemask, with deep gouges in the front to both the helmet and mask. The striping and LSU side logos are in good condition and adhered to the helmet very well with no lifting, but with some separated laminate to the "L" of the left logo. A TIGERS decal is on the front bumper while an #89 player identifier is on the rear of the helmet as well as on the interior of the helmet as shown in the photos. This is a bit rare as all identifiers are removed from helmets prior to release with the rear numbers replaced with the last two numbers of the year of release. A great helmet of a college powerhouse, attributed to a player, with great game wear, for your collection, at a very good price.
