Restoring an old football helmet

We took Duke's beat-up, dirty old Riddell Speed Victor Helmet and made it into a like-new collectible! He made a good choice with this new Buffalo Bills Helmet!
Restoring old helmets is a fun way to create something form nothing. Have you worked on your own helmets?

Anybody else notice he put the stripe on backwards?

[@danieldominguez3460]

Yes lol, but I guess it works since it stops at the ridge on the back of the helmet

[@commandercody8786]

Yeah he did

[@greengridiron]

Yes, I like the change. It’s lines up much better this way 🙌

[@pimpdrummer02]

It's crazy how you guys make me want collectible football helmets so bad! I love football but watching these videos gets me jonesing for some helmets on my mantle!

[@rochlambert3256]

What I did for large decals, I heat them up with a hair dryer just enough for them to be soft enough to have no bubbles or anything

[@greengridiron]

That's the best way to go about it!

[@johnny5g.154]

Looks great! Way to make Duke’s entire year.

[@jinnij.caiman]

I like the restoration project! Probably one of my favorites

[@duck6114]

Thank you green gridiron I can't wait to get it

[@greengridiron]

This was fun! I took some artistic freedoms based on the decals and I’m super happy with it

[@ilonakiforishin1273]

Good job making the helmet look new again I’m enjoying this wonderful channel great job🙂👏🏻

[@greengridiron]

Thanks again! We're happy you're enjoying!

As a 30+ year Bills fan I must say please, Mr. Pegula add that beautiful blue face mask to the Bills helmets!

[@rickluque6429]

Loved the Video Boss. You make it look so easy. 👍👍 And thanks for sharing 😊

[@greengridiron]

Thanks for watching!

[@joeyrichey5069]

Personally, a enjoy restoring old Helmets as a hobby. I have done several and I always get my parts and facemask from GG. Wish you would have explained more about the breakdown and prep. Would like to know more about your technique for prepping the helmet. Love what you do.

Man! I love the work you did. Do you know where I can print those decals? Also, the neck thing in the back that says “bills” Do you know where I can make a custom one?

[@shado__fox782]

where do you get the nfl decals if you dont mind me asking i wanna buy a nfl silver schutt f7 off of yall and put the cowboys decals on it

[@greengridiron]

Your best luck is on eBay or Etsy!

[@sebastiandinapoli3912]

This is my first video of yours. I’m a huge Bills fan and I am attempting my own restoration. Of course Facebook knows what I’m doing so they showed me an ad for your channel. Any tips on painting if I want to change the color? What about fixing gouges in the plastic?

[@greengridiron]

For painting we always recommend bringing it to an expert, but you can always use spray paint if you don't mind the look! But, gouges are a bit tougher to fix up.

[@M3Vader]

I’ve seen an NFL equipment documentary where they heat up the decals with a hairdryer to allow the decals to sit and apply a little easier

[@greengridiron]

Interesting! We usually use a heat gun to take old decals off, but haven't tried heating them for a smoother application. good to know!

[@thisyoungnhandsome]

Super, super, cool

[@greengridiron]

Thank you for the support!

[@rochlambert3256]

That is exactly what I did with my 100+ full-size helmets!!

[@Lakelife50]

Please tell me your ways

[@easterbunny9313]

Big fan of the content man wht kinna cleaning product you use on the helmet though?

[@greengridiron]

Hey there, thanks for watching, we appreciate it! Typically we use citrus spray to clean off the helmets, works like a dream, and you can find it at Walmart!

[@Stingraypress]

What miracle is that helmet cleaning spray? It cleaned instantly!

[@greengridiron]

It’s the best Citrus spray. We get it at Home Depot or Staples

[@Stingraypress]

@@greengridiron do you know exactly what it is called?

[@MattShowalter]

What is the spray that you used to get the goop off? I use goo gone for when I restore old helmet and was wondering if that works too?

[@greengridiron]

It's called Citrus Spray! You can usually find it at your local Walmart, and it'd be with the air fresheners! You'd be surprised at the wonders that little can can do!

[@MattShowalter]

@@greengridiron awesome thank you! I’m guessing it’s like the same thing as goo gone but I’ll have to try that.

[@trentonmashburn6000]

I’m looking for that same face mask you’re putting on for the bills helmet. Do you have them in your store?

[@greengridiron]

Pretty sure that is the OBJ mask, the style code is CU-S2BD-SW, and it is available on our website! Best of luck building your collection! greengridiron.com

[@stevesherwin1255]

We do this as a side gig. I've yet to see a used helmet that doesn't need some body filler in gouges. That helmet was not "used". Just a little dirty.

[@Itz_RipTide_]

Will the Schutt f7's go on sale soon?

[@BarrysArtWorld]

What was the cleaner you sprayed on it? Thanks in advance

[@greengridiron]

We use Pure Citrus, 🍊 you can find it at Walmart. Works like a charm.

This is relaxing

Where do you get the stickers from?

[@Stingraypress]

Where do people get their decals for their helmets? I can’t find a good place to buy them!

[@greengridiron]

eBay or Etsy is your best bet when it comes to finding NFL decal sets! Or alternatively, we sell collectible helmets that come with licensed decals already on the helmet!

[@mcsptf4638]

Yes

[@thewilliamquinnchannel]

What kind of spray did you use to clean the helmet?

[@greengridiron]

That’s a citrus spray. You can find it on Amazon and Home Depot

[@Genjanenja]

Do you know when the Georgia bulldogs Riddell SpeedFlex authentic helmet will be back in stock?

[@greengridiron]

No, it’s tough because the collectables were put on hold for a while by the manufacturers so they could get caught up with field use helmets

[@Genjanenja]

Ok thank you for getting back to me! Hopefully not to much longer

[@jeffreyheller5530]

I may be biased, but I think the Bills have one of the best logos in the NFL. Seahawks, Texans and the Rams are up there too.

[@ilonakiforishin1273]

I want to see more Seattle Seahawks helmet is specially just for me🙂💙💚👍🏻👍🏻

How much is the fully built Georgia helmet

[@bigchanchan1470]

I have an idea that I’m probably gonna try for Christmas. I’m going to buy a Tennessee titans Speedflex and make it look like Derrick Henry’s Speedflex that he wears in game. All i need is a gray SF-2EG-II-HD facemask for a Speedflex and a dark Oakley visor and It will have the finished look. If you don’t know what Derrick Henry’s new Speedflex looks like, just look up Derrick Henry 2022-2023 and you will be able to see it.

[@greengridiron]

Thats a great idea! I say go for it!

[@steveg1830]

Where’s the best place to get the decals ?

[@greengridiron]

The BEST way is to get a collectible helmet and build off of it. However, you can usually find good knock-offs on eBay or Etsy, as long as they are 20mil thick!

[@juancarlossanchez1883]

what spry you use?

[@greengridiron]

We use citrus spray, it's actually an air freshener, but works like a dream!

The collectible helmets we sell come licensed with decals already on them. But, if we are doing a build that is not licensed, we ask the team for their decals or try to find something on Ebay.
