Game Used, worn Michigan Wolverines Schutt/BIKE AiR Power model helmet from 1989. The helmet is a bit of a rare model as the early BIKE helmets quickly become impossible to find. This is a very desirable size large. This helmet is how it was coming off of the field. The majority of Michigan gamers are reconditioned and repainted prior to their release to the public - often sold through the M-Den store located in Ann Arbor or through their catalog. This helmet was not reconditioned and shows shadowing on the rear where the Michigan award decals were applied and then removed prior to the helmet release. The helmet retains its original Z-Leader shield, secured to the facemask in the very early manner of zip ties. The helmet has painted wings and stripes as all of the Michigan gamers from this time. The helmet was painted by Capital Varsity, the company that painted all of the Schutt/BIKE helmets for decades. The helmet has its original NOPO model facemask, secured to the helmet using the original clips and hardware. A tough helmet to find - model, size, and original "off the field." A nice helmet to display that clearly tells a story of its life in the Big House.
