Like it or not collecting NFL football helmets can get rather expensive and can take up a lot of space in your home. Full size helmets do cost more and if you choose to collect models from every team in the league the price can grow really high really quickly. Plus once you buy them you may not have a good way to display them all since these helmets take up so much more space than many other sports collectibles.

Luckily the makers of some of the best NFL helmets and collectibles, Riddell, has thought about this and make some smaller sized helmets for collectors that also cost a whole lot less to buy. These other helmet sizes are referred to, as mini, micro and even pocket sizes with each being a scaled down version of the real thing but with still all the great details that make them look authentic.

NFL mini helmets from Riddell are one half size of a regular game day helmet so they take up less space and are generally less than a third of the price of a replica full size helmet. These helmets still include all the features that a collector wants such as a bright painted shell that has the official team decals and colors plus the small details have not been left out. With internal padding, a chinstrap, as well as an authentic facemask including the Z2Bstyle these helmets are just like game day helmets only smaller.

Mini football helmets are also a great option for the first time collector who wants to get started with a fun yet still team branded piece of merchandise. Whether they are 41 years old or 14 these helmets can get them started with a fun hobby that has the thrill of the chase as well as the fun of competition both on the field and in the collectibles market.
