Is there anywhere you can purchase a helmet like what was worn during the Liberty bowl?

Why would anyone want to?   They are protection for the players playing the game........

Why would anyone Not want to.  They are sharp and would make an awesome memorabilia piece.

I hope those become our road helmets next year. They look awesome paired with the all-white uni's.

I like the matte finish for the home reds tho.

Hope you graduated from the U of A. Otherwise, give back all your Razorback gear. Pretending you're a real Razorback alum and all...

I don't think buying helmets like the ones used in games will leave players helmetless.  Could be wrong.

I get you now... everyone should do what you think is "cool" and "worth it" or they're idiots,  Your the ultimate judge of what a person should own or shouldn't.  Damn!!!  You have a very high opinion of yourself!!

That being said... how about offering mini-helmets for fans to purchase?  I'd surely buy a mini helmet

I think they should make them standard.  Very sharp while preserving the classic look.

some people insist that those around them be as miserable as they are. just ignore him and move on :) i personally would love to buy one of the helmet to place on my fireplace mantle next to the rest of my sports keepsakes.

as stupid as your question is, im going to give you MY answer. when the tornado sirens go off and my family moves to the lower floor of my home we grab football helmets from the fireplace mantle and put them on just incase. if, god forbid, my home is ever demolished by something like a tornado, there will hopefully be a family wearing denver bronco and arkansas razorback helmets on crawling out of the rubble unharmed. safety does not have to be boring.

now you may continue your mission of being a big suck on a sour lemon.

I have a really cool hog helmet that is one of a kind. I tried posting a pic but it won't let me. I am trying to post directly from my iPhone camera roll. Some may like to see it. Any help with posting a pic is appreciated.

I loved them, but I hope we will retain them for "special" games in the future . . . big conference games, Bowls and CFP games.  Kind of like Notre Dame and the green jerseys. 

I also really, really like the current red (standard; which is really a satin, not a matte, by the way   ;)), and believe it should be used 95% of the time.

Note the subtle "glow" of the helmets in the light, demonstrating the satin finish:







Here is a picture of cardinal matte helmets; notice how it is "flatter" and reflects less light.  The difference is subtle, but there is a difference.  Just a little more "luster" to the satin finish:

Go to Academy Sports and buy a standard white helmet. Take it to an auto body shop and have them paint the facemask chrome and the helmet the proper # of Red. Then go to a Loves Truck Stop and buy a couple of window decals and stick it on the sides.

You'll come out cheaper.

Bingo. I've got a friend that made one from cheap Wal-Mart supplies.  You would look at it and think  it came from an actual player.

I've always thought the matte finish helmets look awful.  Go back and look at how nice our shiny helmets looked in the McFadden, Jones and Hillis days.

The Liberty Bowl chrome shiny helmet is a cut above any helmet we've ever had.  I say keep them for all games, home games included.
