Here is my collection of Troy helmets, so far. I have to fix the paint mistake I made, but I'm working on a cardinal Power T right now. That is a sweet collection Of official ones made, I only need the white with cardinal facemask and one I'll never get which is the black with the outlined Marvin on it.

About your article... There are some real beauties in those high number ranks. The smoke helmets for example are really great. I can't wait to see which ones are in the lower, especially top 10! That's what made this really tough. We have a ton of great helmets and everyone has their own likes and dislikes. The Smokes didn't work for me, but they worked for you. When I tell y'all this took a while, I had four different printouts of all the helmets and ranked and reranked them.

Ok... I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. From what I understand, an individual can use a trademark for personal use without violating the law. Let's say you printed your own stickers and made a helmet. As far as I know, there is nothing wrong with that unless you sell it. As far as I know, it wouldn't be, but my problem is I don't have the means to make the decals (Cricut, Silhouette, etc.) If I had that then, I'd only need to learn how to design the things I'd need.

You have no idea how many ideas I have for helmets, but I have no resources to make the decals myself. Lol. I would definitely love to have more mini helmets for Trojans. I have all but two that have been made so far. I have a signed Kerry Jenkins Marvin the Martian helmet, the 1983-88 helmet, the 2004-14 Helmet and the Cardinal power T with silver face mask on my desk along with the 2004-14 helmet pen holder I wanted the 83-88 helmet when I saw it on eBay, but I didn't have the money then. I've been hoping the seller would make it again.

I'm a huge helmet sticker fan. Used them when I coached and the players love earning them. Loved our helmets with the stickers during the Kelvin Simmons years 1992-93 I would love it if we brought them back, but I'm sure with all the decal changes we do now, it would drive the Equipment crew insane.

Troy would make a mint selling a collection of replica mini helmets, or even just the stickers. They should pay The Machine a consulting fee to come up with say 10 memorable helmets based on win or special occasion. Put them in a nice wooden and glass display case. Maybe with some work by Adams' glass. I'd be into this. You have no idea how many ideas I have for helmets, but I have no resources to make the decals myself. Lol.

I didn’t see any of the script decals I know of one person on Twitter that got some. Whether that was a lucky mistake or not, I don't know. Lol

If anyone bought an extra set of the script decals at the Yard Sale and you don't need it, can you please let me know?
I love the script and would love to make a helmet with them.
Thanks and Go Troy!

I'm going to put that English degree to use, but I just can't believe they didn't capitalize the C in Sun Belt Conference.

those who attended the yard sale last year how was their election of big guy stuff? i wanna go and get some more troy stuff but do not wanna get there and be dissappointed I didn’t see anything I would really wear. It’s more like buy a jersey and frame it or something. My favorite is helmet stickers. Those Power T stickers are thick and they really stick. I have one on my MacBook and it has held up to travel. The decals also go great on helmet builds. I used them to make a white and black version. Gotta finally do my cardinal one.

I have this old spalding J6-V football. After researching it, that style ball was used in the 60's. It's got TROY stamped on one of the panels. (not sure if it would have been stamped Troy State back in those days or just TROY for short). At one of the Hall of Fame Banquets year ago, I got Sim Byrd and Danny Grant to sign it. I'm not 100% sure it was ever a Troy State Ball from the 60's, but none the less, still pretty cool. If you ever don't want that, please let me know.

South will probably be a Thursday night game so I doubt it will be homecoming. Good point.

Which game has been designated for homecoming. While I'd love it to be South for a huge crowd, watch it be Arkansas State or Louisiana.

Wow, I'm so glad you posted this. There aren't a lot of Troy things that slip by me, but I never noticed that. Pretty sure, this might turn into a Trojan Wall story and maybe we can make it an official retirement for Al. For those (there is always one) who do not know who you are talking about: thetrojanwall.com/the-hall-of-fame-case-for-al-lucas/Thanks for sharing this. It's one of the most special articles I've gotten to write for The Wall. Folks should know just how special Al was. Maybe the Hall finally will.

A lot of places do retire them. You don’t see 34 or 7 at Auburn We do not wear 76 if i am correct, we should retire 94, and if Osi gets in, his as well. We should take pride in our players who get enshrined. Also if this is not a huge recruiting tool its a missed opportunity Wow, I'm so glad you posted this.

Awesome! You know there's going to be a wall for him somewhere in the NEZ building. I'd rather a statue outside The Vet.

Great performance overall. I’m sure he helped his stock. Assuming Carlton was injured as he was not in complete uniform and didn’t play. Maybe our resident Troy football history expert Ben can research this. Besides Garcia has Troy ever had a OL drafted? Kerry Jenkins was a free agent. Mitch Geier in 85 and Michael Moore in 2000

He didn't stop when the Bowl Season was over, either. That cardinal and green plaid suit with the Christmas tie he wore for the Mercer game was top shelf. Had it been for football that would've been an easy Top 3.

This is great and very accurate except the outfit against Southern Miss should be #1 The man wore a solid color jacket and dress shoes to a September game in Mississippi. That bravery gets #1. 🤣🤣

I love ADBJ, but he can’t hide in a crowd. The man's got too much swag to hide.
