Game Worn Alabama Crimson Tide Riddell Speed helmet. The helmet has an original season date of 2017. The helmet is attributed to #17 - Wide Receiver Cam Sims. There is a #6 player identifier on the inside crown of the helmet. Not sure if that is a player identifier or a locker number - as is often the practice with college team helmets. 2017 is really the season in which many of the Tide players were switching from the Speed model to the newer Riddell Flex or the Schutt F7 helmets, so the helmet could have been worn by #6 (Freshman receiver Devonta Smith) prior to Sims wearing the helmet. The helmet is original and complete except for the chinstrap. The size large helmet shows very light wear following the reconditioning. The #17 decals are proper and original to the helmet. They are positioned as worn by Sims while wearing the Speed helmet. Later that season and into future seasons, Sims switched to a different model of helmet. On the rear of the helmet is the team warning label and American flag also original with proper placement. A great helmet to display for your collection, attributed to an NFL player, at a great price.
