I want an old-school style leather football helmet to wear when my friends and I play football. Why in the hell can't I find anything on the internet except "collectors" helmets for like $200?? Doesn't anyone make cheap ones that you can actually use? No one is selling old ones sitting in their basement?

Does anyone have any idea where I could get an old style helmet to actually play with? It'd be hella-sweet! Thanks!

Let's see, the worldwide market for these things is... You

Not a lot of incentive for a company to mass produce them is it?

Why would you want to wear a helmet just playing with your friends? Is it so you can realize your dreams, LoL

Put an old catcher's mit on your head and duct-tape around your chin. Total cost = $3.95 :)
