Re: football helmets
Are you looking for NFL or College? I am an Ohio State fan and collector and have two OSU Helmets in my collection. I believe both are real, but one has been reconditioned and the other the Buckeye Leaves were removed at the end of the season and replaced with fake ones to make it look complete.
From my personal observations and knowledge, I'll be happy to share what I can about OSU helmets, what to look for etc. Feel free to IM or e-mail me.

Re: football helmets
Hey Scott,
Would love to see your OSU gamers. Don't want to hijack the thread but would love to hear more about your collection.
Send me an e-mail at randerson@leesherman.com.
Thanks,
Rick

Re: football helmets
The official helmet of the NFL is Riddell. Some players do wear other helmet brands such as (ex. Schutt). If this is the case then any labeling with Schutt has to be removed.

Re: football helmets
The Riddell VSR-1 helmets were introduced in the late 80's
