TK2 Style Football Helmet 1969 Texas Longhorns National Champions Bertelsen

Custom one-of-a-kind TK2 Style helmet, with iconic burnt orange decals of the 1969 National Champion Texas Longhorns.

Helmet comes with McGregor style 2-bar facemask, just as worn by many Longhorns during that memorable championship season.

Helmet comes with iconic Longhorns steer head decals placed appropriately low above the ear hole with matching burnt orange “100” football decals above. This amazing helmet has been customized as a tribute to Longhorns halfback Jim Bertelsen with appropriate #35 placed on rear of helmet. Please note: we are not claiming this helmet was issued or worn by the Longhorns.

Many college teams wore special “100” decals in different locations on their helmet during 1969 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of college football. The Longhorns only wore the “100” decals in their four televised games that year against California, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and in the Cotton Bowl against Notre Dame.

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 gray toned chin strap. Helmet is also painted gray inside just as the vintage originals from the 1960's. This helmet displays beautifully and will make a wonderful gift!

PLEASE NOTE- 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.
