Anybody have any luck securing new style Michigan helmet?
I've been trying to secure a helmet for the man cave, but can only find ones with the coventional white straps and "MICHIGAN" sticker on center brow:
I can't find satin-matte blue helmet of the current style, with BLUE straps with MAIZE "MICHIGAN" text on straps and with block maize M on center brow. Of course the jumpman face shield would be nice (but not cheap itself!).
Anyone have any luck finding one? MDen and the other usual suspects are letting me down on this one.

But the straps aren't black. They're blue. And at least the show photos have "MICHIGAN" text on them. I'm not sure if actual in-game helmets do that. But the ingame helmets DEFINITELY blue straps including the chin strap itself.
Edit:
Note photo from Michigan Equipment twitter feed ( @HailEquipment ) demonstrating blue straps with MICHIGAN text on actual locker room game helmets:

The Maize is wrong on that helmet.

Nice find. Looks like the real deal or at least a decent facsimile.

Same seller also sells Nike visor tab stickers, but NOT maize-on-blue jumpman logo:

I messaged him to ask him if had plans to make them:
EDIT:
Just got reply: "No, sorry." :(

Been trying to create this helmet (or similar) for my brother for a Christmas gift. Anyone have suggestions? I've bought most of the materials, however, most of the nice (cost-effective) Schutt helmets have these two screws to either side of the nose bumper decal....Not really a fan of those being there, personally. Anyone know where to get one without those darn screws that has a full painted finish?

Only helmet I know of that doesnt have the screws bolting the fasemask beside the nose bumper is the Riddell Speed Flex. Thats the new model a lot of the players have been using everywhere.
I have one. I made it myself out of an old high school helmet.
