Riddell Kra-Lite RK2 Pittsburgh Steelers Football Helmet Joe Greene Rookie

Beautiful RIDDell RK2 suspension helmet, decaled, striped and numbered just like All-Time Great Steeler and Hall of Famer, Mean Joe Greene wore as a rookie with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969.

Helmet has received an upgrade from its original 2-bar facemask to a late 1960s Schutt style style NJOP reproduction facemask. Notice how the mask has been carefully mounted exactly as Greene wore! See photos for reference only. Photos are not included with purchase. Greene became an instant defensive force in the NFL and the cornerstone of the vaunted Steel Curtain defense of the 4-time world champion Steelers.

Helmet also sports authentic leather jaw pads, and to round out the package we have applied appropriate size and font #75 to front and rear of helmet in correct style and font. Helmet is built to represent the famous 1960s configuration of the RK2 suspension helmet with 12-spoke suspension and matching RIDDell heat stamps!

PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE NOT CLAIMING THIS HELMET WAS ISSUED OR USED BY MR. Greene or the Steelers.

About Riddell Classic Kra-Lite RK2 Football Helmets-

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! PLEASE NOTE- THESE HELMETS HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED BY RIDDELL IN 2007, AND ARE GETTING DIFFICULT TO FIND! ITEM PICTURED IS ITEM YOU WILL RECEIVE. WE ONLY HAVE ONE OF THESE IN STOCK! All of our helmets are for display purposes only! They are not to be used or worn for competitive play.
