Signed USC Trojans Replica Full-Size Football Helmet by Mike Garrett

A full-size replica football helmet for the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans. The helmet features the iconic cardinal red shell with a high-gloss finish, adorned with the classic yellow and red Trojan warrior profile decals on both sides. A grey plastic multi-bar facemask is attached via clear plastic clips, one of which prominently displays the 'USC' lettering in cardinal red. The helmet includes internal white foam padding and a white ribbed chin strap. Most notably, the top of the crown is hand-signed in silver permanent marker with the inscription 'Mike Garrett Heisman 65', likely referencing his 1965 Heisman Trophy win. The signature appears clear and legible with no apparent fading or smearing. The overall condition of the helmet surface is excellent, showing minimal signs of wear, surface scratches, or decal peeling, suggesting it has been kept as a display piece. The materials consist of molded polycarbonate for the shell and coated steel or heavy-duty plastic for the facemask. This item serves as a significant piece of collegiate sports memorabilia celebrating one of USC's most storied athletic achievements.
