Hey sports fans, how about a thread just for college game used items? We have a NFL section so why not a college section? I'll start off with a vintage 1970's Georgia Bulldogs game worn helmet that I picked up within the past few Months. The seller was a tad-off on his dates and I edited some of the email because of some private and/or personal comments. His email gives us a little insight on how UGA prepared for opposing teams.
When I got the helmet, it was absent a two-bar facemask and thanks to Curtis at the Helmet Hut, he was able to provide me with a replacement facemask that seems to compliment the helmet very well.
Written inside the helmet is the #88. I haven't a clue who may have owned the helmet but any information would be appreciated.

Jim,
I'll give you a little background on the helmet. Its an old (60's) helmet from the University of Georgia. The reason it has the Alabama style numbers on the sides is that it was last used in practice to simulate an Alabama player. UGA like most colleges, has the scout team (B-team) run the next opponent's offence and defense against the Georgia offence and defense. I don't know if number 32 was an Alabama offensive or defensive player, but he was someone that the Georgia players were keying on. I played for UGA 67 thru 70. I acquired the helmet as the result of a charity/old-timers football game in about 1976. The UGA Athletic Department donated some old equipment for the game.
