LOS ANGELES DONS AAFC 1948 TRIBUTE FOOTBALL MINI HELMET

Description: If you need more than the quantity showing as "Available" please let me know and I can probably bump up the numbers for you. LOS ANGELES' FIRST PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM! The Los Angeles Dons were an American football team in the newly formed football league the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) from 1946 to 1949, and played their home games in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The Dons were the first professional football team to play a regular season game in Los Angeles, California, two weeks before the first game of the rival Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League, who had moved from Cleveland. For most of their existence, the Dons compiled an average record, and never qualified for the AAFC playoffs. This was mainly because they were in the same division as the league's two most powerful teams, the Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers. Unlike the Browns, 49ers, and Baltimore Colts, the Dons were not one of the AAFC teams that remained intact when the AAFC merged with the NFL in 1950: they merged with the crosstown Rams of the older league after the 1949 season. GREAT WRITE-UP ON THIS TEAM AND THEIR STRUGGLES CAN BE FOUND ON WIKI. HELMET IS NOT AUTOGRAPHED. Custom Mini Helmet. I MAY have many other helmets from this team. Contact me to get more info!!!!Size 3 5/8, roughly 5"x5"x5" Display box / "Original" packaging: NOT INCLUDED. It will come in a plastic baggie, wrapped in packing paper and mailed in a cardboard box. SHIPPING: Helmets are made-when-ordered. Please allow 5 BUSINESS (M-F except holidays) days for me to do a good job on your purchase and get it in the mail. Often I will pre-print a shipping label to be 1/2 step ahead so I can stick the helmet in the mail when ready instead of waiting for a label. That said....you might see in your purchase history that there has been no progress on the item moving through the mail. That is because it has not shipped yet, I just made the label early. Your tracking info can be found in your purchase history. You can also see your expected delivery date. I appreciate you using that info and letting me focus on making helmets for other customers. It also makes more free time to create new and unique helmets in other styles. DISCOUNTS: I offer bulk discounts when you purchase 6 or more identical items. Please contact me through eBay messaging. My listings are not set up for the "Make an Offer" feature. I wish I could let it go for a lower price but, you know, I have two kids in college, taxes are killing me, Riddell can't seem to fulfill orders fast enough, and my gouts is flaring up. THE SALES PITCH: The materials (shells, masks) are made in Mexico by Riddell. Completed helmets are MADE IN THE USA by a grumpy old, disabled, decorated Veteran. I have a mean German wife so nothing you can say to me can hurt my feelings. OTHER OPTIONS: If you are interested in other versions for this team....or ANY team for that matter........shoot me a not and I will refer you to some resources.EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2020, THE MINI HELMETS WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE "Riddell" LOGO ON THE CHINSTRAP OR NOSEPAD. THIS IS DUE TO A CHANGE IN PRODUCTION AND LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS.. WHY SHOULD YOU BUY A MINI HELMET? Think $50 is a lot to pay for a collectible mini helmet? Look at it this way. The going rate for mileage driven is 60 cents/mile. If you drive 90 unnecessary miles you have blown that $50 in gas and wear & tear on your car. You have nothing to show for it. In buying this rare collectible helmet you will have something for years to come. Just think how many times you just blow $50 on eating out when you could have stayed in. What do you have to show for it? A picture of that steak and potato? If you had stayed in that night in June 2020 and bought a mini helmet instead, you would still have a nice display piece of your team. How about that questionable purchase of a fitness machine. It is folded up and sitting in the corner of the garage. Or did you finally get around to selling it on Craig's List or at the yard sale? But noooooooooooo........you just HAD to get that BowFlex. Should I even bring up that Justin Bieber concert your girl made you attend upon penalty of a month long pout? Instead you could have gotten a bunch of mini helmets and had something to enjoy (and not sweat over) for years and years. Life is soooo full of regrets and I just don't want you to regret for the rest of your life that you missed out on this rare item! I really am looking out for you! Your mancave needs this helmet. You owe it to yourself for all that blood, sweat, and tears your team has put you through over the years. And think about it....how many pairs or $50 earrings has your wife bought that are just sitting there in a jewelry box, unseen and unappreciated? This is a chance for you to even the score (just a little bit). SO MAN UP AND BUY THIS HELMET! You don't agree? Take a look at her shoe closet and get back with me...... IF YOU HAVE LOST YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR, ARE A FEMINIST OR AGHORI....YOU MIGHT WANT TO STOP READING HERE. FOR THE LADIES: ?Helmets come statically charged to pick up each and every piece of dust in the house. This is something you can remind "him" of as his collection grows (just like his waistline). ?You can point out the helmets are worn by players who do not sit around all day, eat chips and watch TV. They stay in shape, work out, and bring home lots and lots of money because they love their wives and want her to have lots of shoes and jewelry. ?Helmets are ergonomically engineered so that they are easy to grip and throw across the room if necessary. ?They are cheaper than Harleys or Corvettes. ?If the "headache" excuse is not working you can tell him you saw that MyTeamSpirit just listed a bunch of new mini helmets and he should check them out. HAPPY SHOPPING! (Smile if you looked up Aghori)
