Notoriety can come in different forms.  Some guys may be known for their toughness, others for their intelligence, while still more might have fantastic speed.  Among other things, former Boston Patriots defensive lineman, Jesse Richardson, is known as the last professional football player to not wear a facemask.

I admire the folks at Helmet Hut for a number of reasons.  First, they adhere to the strictest of guidelines to make museum-quality reproductions of historic helmets.  Second, they have a simply stunning collection of vintage game-worn helmets.  Additionally (and this could have easily been listed first), they are just good people, wonderful to work with, and truly accommodating.

The folks at Helmet Hut have acquired one of Jess Richardson’s game-worn helmets.  They have featured it in an excellent article that can be found HERE.
