Alabama Crimson Tide Throwback Helmet

Alabama Crimson Tide

This is a BRAND NEW reproduction throwback helmet and was produced exactly the same way it would have been done in the era it was used. The helmet was individually painted, with hand-applied decals and striping, and manually assembled from more than seventy (70) parts.

The smallest details have been reproduced to insure that these reproductions are accurate and exact. Almost two years were spent to retool and recreate the voluminous manufacturing processes required to reproduce this helmet in its exact, original form. In addition, countless hours of research are required to insure that each team's helmet logos and striping are properly recreated to accurately reflect the designs used during the 'throwback' era.

Sport Trivia

European immigrants brought various versions of hockey-like games to North America. Some examples are the Scottish sport of shinty, the closely-related Irish sport of hurling and versions of field hockey played in England. Where necessary these seem to have been adapted for icy conditions; for example, a colonial Williamsburg newspaper records hockey being played in a snow storm in Virginia. Both English-speaking and French-speaking Canadians played hockey on frozen rivers, lakes, and ponds using cheese cutters strapped to their boots, and early paintings show hockey being played in Nova Scotia. Author Thomas Chandler Haliburton wrote of boys from King's College School in Windsor, Nova Scotia, playing "hurley on the ice" when he was a student there in the years around 1800. To this day, "Shinny" (derived from Shinty) is a popular Canadian term for an informal type of hockey, either on ice or as street hockey.
