My brother has been a die hard fan of the Lions throughout his 57 years and finally has a reason to be loud and proud so when I saw this helmet replica, in what I knew to be his favorite design logo, I knew he'd love it. Out of the box it looks like you could put it on and enter the game, you would have to inspect it closely to determine its realism. This helmet has the look and feel of the real thing, I was impressed with the gift, as was the recipient, most importantly. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this again.
