TK Style Football Helmet Custom 1969 Texas Longhorns National Champs

Custom, one of a kind TK Style helmet, with iconic burnt orange decals of the 1969 Texas Longhorns.

Helmet includes 12-strap suspension as shown in photos, and comes with MacGregor style 2-bar facemask and nose bar just as worn by many of the Longhorns during the mid to late 1960s. We even added authentic athletic tape to secure the nose bar to the facemask just as the Longhorns equipment managers did back in the day!

Helmet comes with Longhorns steer head decals placed approximately low above the ear hole with appropriate burnt orange football with “100” celebrating 100 years of college football placed above! The Longhorns only wore the “100” decals for their televised games that year against California, Oklahoma, and of course their showdown in the “Game of the Century “ in Fayetteville against their rivals, the Arkansas Razorbacks!

These decals are exact replicas of the originals. Notice the detail, including the laces on the football! You won’t find another helmet like this one in the market today. Please see photos for reference and not included with purchase. Also, please note we can add whatever numbers to the rear of the helmet you would like!

Both Texas and Arkansas entered their final game of the regular season undefeated, and ranked nationally #1 and #2 respectively. In front of the nationally televised audience and Present Nixon, the Razorbacks led 14-0 entering the final period, but the Longhorns rallied behind James “Slick” Street to score the final 15 points to secure the one point victory.

Please note: we are not claiming this helmet was issued or worn by the Longhorns.

The classic shape of the TK's rounded shell and handsome metal rivets are complemented by the attachment of a two bar facemask. These helmets are recently manufactured 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. This item also has real leather jaw pads, and soft cup chin strap. Helmet is also painted gray inside just as the vintage originals. This helmet displays beautifully and will make a wonderful gift!
