    if it doesn't then you might have some difficulty proving it is Bradley

      I have all the old Bradley yearbooks from the 1960's and the design of the helmet is exactly like several years in the late 1960's. FWIW, I cannot find that any team had a #29 on it, though.

        The same seller has another "Modern" version of a Bradley football helmet with the new logo.

        Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final

        ???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™

          That may be the design scheme of the helmets from the mid 1960s, but it sure isn't from the time period. You can tell from the facemask and padding.

              How can you guys be wondering if this is authentic AT ALL when the auction clearly says "The one for sale is approximately 1/2 scale......the size of a grapefruit."

              Scale size item = REPLICA.

                It's obviously a miniature collectible- the question is whether it is from the 1960's. It is not. I do not recall anyone producing such miniature collectible helmets back then, and it appears to be modern.

                But maybe the biggest clue that it is not old is the fact that the seller has hundreds of such miniature helmets for every college, every pro football team, CFL teams, and even NHL teams! And they all have the exact same design, other than the colors and logos.-

                  Correct, I was wondering if the design was authentic, not the mini.
