Riddell Kra-Lite RK2 Suspension Football Helmet-New Orleans Saints Tom Dempsey

New Orleans Saints Riddell Classic Kra-Lite RK2 helmet, decaled and striped exactly as the Saints wore during 1970 when on November 8 of that year, Tom Dempsey broke the NFL record for longest field goal in history with a 63 yard kick. This record stood for over 43 years until broken in 2013. This beautiful specimen has been customized with the same mid 1960s Schutt style OPO facemask as worn by Dempsey on that historic day. To round out the package, this beauty has Dempsey’s famous #19 in correct size, color, and font added to the rear of the helmet. This helmet also sports vintage and authentic Riddell leather jaw pads! Here you have a truly rare collectible.

Riddell Classic Kra-Lite RK2 Football Helmet

A classic step back in time! The classic shape of the Riddell RK's slightly flared shell and handsome metal rivets are complemented by the attachment of an original Riddell two bar facemask. These helmets are Riddell Pro-Line Authentic On Field helmets! The adult size 7 3/8 suspension webbing is identical to the original right down to the same brown thread that was used to stitch it together. Thin mil decals exactly as the originals, real leather jaw pads, gray toned strap and identical front style labeling makes this helmet indistinguishable from the original. They are painted gray inside just as the Riddell vintage originals from the 1960's, and also have the "KRA-LITE" and "RIDDell" trademarks branded into the rear of the helmet, unlike some other helmets you may find on the market these days which have neither. Do not settle for a substitute. Demand the real thing!
