Georgia Bulldogs Helmet

[Claymore]

The guy i bought this helmet from said he had bought it in America in 2009 ( im in the UK ) and he had bought it as a game used helmet but he wasnt sure if it was or not ?...

if anyone can enlighten me then that would be great !!

it is a great helmet no matter what !!

Re: Georgia Bulldogs Helmet

I have a couple UGA GU helmets.

This one looks like a retail helmet, in my opinion.

Re: Georgia Bulldogs Helmet

Look on the inside of the helmet.

Are there any stickers with a manufacturing date? Anything written on the inside with black marker?

Re: Georgia Bulldogs Helmet

There is a Ridell sticker with the date Dec 2009 and there are no pen marks..

the previous owner did buy it as game used but i bought it off him as a replica as he had no evidence of it being game used !!...

it would of been nice if it was genuine but as i said before it is still a cool helmet !!

Re: Georgia Bulldogs Helmet

Nice looking lid, but not a gamer. The DAWGS decal and the bone stickers are not correct for starters. Still looks great however!!! Best looking helmet in the NCAA.

Re: Georgia Bulldogs Helmet

The one on eBay is mine. Note the differences in the GEORGIA font, as well as the American flag. There's also a difference in the G decal on the side helmet but it's harder to tell in a picture. The G decal has a clear edge that runs all the way around, which is correct for a gamer.

Re: Georgia Bulldogs Helmet

I know now that mine is not a gamer but looking at the pics of the real deal it does look a really good replica !!....plus it cost me alot less !!

Re: Georgia Bulldogs Helmet

Hey guys. Actually looking at both of these helmets. In my opinion neither are true gamers. The first helmet the decals and the helmet color is way off. Georgia uses a color called "Georgia" Red. Schutt and Riddell use this color specifically for UGA. The second helmet thats on Ebay the Color and the Bone awards are way off. The bones of the gamers arentshiny and are actually flat white, and are much smaller in size. Here are a few game helmets that I have in my coillection. David Pollack GU helmet from 2002 Sugar Bowl. I have had a few True Gamers and this helmet is Photomatched to that game. GO Dawgs!!
