I recently started, but I want to know if any of you have any leads as to where I can get an authentic Cal helmet in blue?

Older ones here, but doesn't look like they have current...

I'm not sure about authenticity, but I know Bancroft Clothing Company has several helmets of differing eras on display behind the register.

I picked up two replica Cal helmets from the Sports Gallery in Palo Alto. One was signed by Marshawn Lynch..I think I paid a little over 300 for the pair.

Yes, Bancroft Clothing has everything form 1948 to current:

I have a 72-75 version and I really like it.

The ones from Bancroft are replicas. I'm looking for more of the type that have all the padding and everything. Similar to this one that I own:



Do you guys think they'll sell them at the Cal Garage Sale?

Gotta say.... checking out some of the old-style replicas thru the link....man, there were some good looking helmets there! How cool would it be to do a retro kit with navy helmets that had those big numbers on the sides!?! We could at least [U]look[/U] like 'Bama ! And those Gold hats? Sweeeet.

Funny about the helmets is when someone shows up talking about our "traditional" helmet. Just ridiculous.

Hi, I collect Cal game used memorabilia for our Cal room and have a 1987 Cal game used helmet up for sale at eBay. I already have a 1987 Cal helmet so am selling this one. I have some Cal game used jerseys as well. From the previous Cal garage sales I have been too they never have helmets unfortunately. Hopefully there will be a sale this year. I think the last one was like 3 years ago. The link to the helmet at eBay is below and I'm open to offers or a trade. GO BEARS!! :axe

Be careful...there are a lot of fake "game used" helmets out there. I got one in the mid-90's from a guy with the team. Here's what they looked like:
