Signed O.J. Simpson USC Trojans Full-Size Replica Football Helmet

This is a full-size replica football helmet representing the USC (University of Southern California) Trojans, featuring the team's iconic cardinal red shell with a gold and cardinal Trojan head decal on the side. The helmet is notable for a hand-written signature in silver metallic paint marker on the top of the shell, reading 'O.J. Simpson' followed by 'Heisman 68', referring to his 1968 Heisman Trophy win. The helmet includes a gray multi-bar plastic facemask, a white chin strap, and a clear plastic visor clip with 'USC' branding. Measuring approximately 13 x 10 x 10 inches, it appears to be a modern commemorative piece rather than game-worn equipment, likely manufactured by Riddell or a similar sports memorabilia brand. The condition appears to be excellent with a high-gloss finish; however, slight smudging may be present on the signature trailing the '8'. There are no visible cracks or significant scuffs on the shell or face mask. The interior padding seems intact, though this item is intended for display purposes. This piece of sports memorabilia represents a significant yet controversial era in college football history, specifically celebrating the athletic peak of O.J. Simpson's collegiate career at USC in the late 1960s.
