NFL helmets – whether they’re authentic, replica, or mini-helmets – make great collectibles.
As a display piece, they look cool on your bookcase, and adds a finishing touch to your sports den.
And if your Super Bowl party needs a jump start, it’s an ideal conversation starter.
But did you football helmets have practical uses, as well?
Here are…
7 other ways to use NFL helmets
1. Protection
Going to a road game? It can be tough for an NFL fan that dares to flaunt his football team logo at an opponent’s home field. NFL football helmets provide ample protection against food & beverage throwing cretins.
2. Intimidation
Gain a psychological advantage when dealing with shiftless landlords, car salesmen, and ex’s. Don’t shave for a few days, apply some lamp-black under your eyes, don a helmet, & scowl. Your adversary will be too rattled to ask why you’re wearing all that “ridiculous” stuff. For added intimidation, wear shoulder pads.
3. Butt heads safely
Ever wanted to head butt your buddy like NFL players do? With a football helmet, you can butt like a ram in heat without getting concussed.
Plus, the sound they make upon impact is way cool.
4. Have a seat
Do you live in an urban area and commute via subway? Do you always stand because you’re not forceful enough to get a seat? Wear a helmet and simply head butt into oblivion anyone who gets in your way. Once you’ve claimed your seat, relax and take a nap (see below). If all else fails, you can always sit on your helmet.
5. Nap gear
Do you like to nap in public? NFL helmets can provide padding, privacy, and reduce noise while you lean back & snooze as well as protect you against head lice and loose-bowelled birds.
6. Foul weather protection
This is a no-brainer… Winter: adding a visor to the face mask will keep your head warm & dry and shield your eyes from rain and snow. Summer: take a white helmet (to reflect harmful UV rays), add a tinted visor (to act as sunglasses), put an ice pack on top of your head (held in place by the helmet) and you’ll barely break a sweat on even the hottest of days.
7. Bike helmet/Hard hat
Do you work in a profession that requires protective headgear? Do you not own a car? If the answer to both questions is “yes”, then NFL helmets are your all-in-one solution.
From your bike commute to your job as construction/underground worker, an NFL football helmet will serve you equally well as it makes a seamless transition from bike helmet to protective work gear.
