dsaline97 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'm working on making a custom helmet for a personal project. I've painted the shell and face mask and I have the pads put back in, leaving me with the stickers to put on. I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to what kind of stickers work best and are the most authentic. Where can I get the stickers that are clear based and work best for this?Thanks for any responses, pictures may follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Are you using a full size or mini-helmet? Stadri Emblems make some standard stripes and clear cut helmet logos. I'm sure there are others out there. Realistically, you may have to order between 12-20 helmet stickers. You could use the clear cut stickers that will fit through a standard printer but it might not be thick enough to stay on the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I got my decals from this sitehttp://www.upperdeckstudios.com/upperdeck_006.htmAwesome source and good prices.Impressed that they carry so many older-era sets.http://www.upperdeckstudios.com/upperdeck_139.htmThey even have the Baltimore Stallions!The new Seahawks wrap-around logo looks like a tough task to apply perfectly.

Gothamite Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nope. I'd order from them right quick if I were you. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The licensing could hurt them, but I don't think so.I did have some problems with them though. Took a while to get a few things shipped. Plus, they aren't high quality decals. Had to use a hairdryer to mold them and make them stick. So, they aren't as genuine as can be, but about the closest thing you can find at the price and availability. These are the three I made with decals from them - "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Well, Upper Deck is a TM, isn't it? That's above and beyond all the copyrighted stuff they're selling.Not that I haven't looked at a couple of these, just in case. It's where I sit.

WSU151 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Though I said it was awesome to have a site like this...there will probably be C&D letters either coming from the schools (can't make profit off of trademarks) or Upper Deck card company. Of all the names to call the business...Upper Deck Studios was probably one of the dumbest. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Sec19Row53 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 By the way, I'll put in a plug for sportdecals.com. I am awaiting an order of 40 custom mini helmets of my defunct high school. Below is the spec sheet they send prior to starting any work. I admire their effort. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Well, they did change over from Boardwalk Decals to UpperDeck, for whatever reason. The problem with other sites like sportsdecals.com is just like you said, have to order many of the same design. It's great for custom decals, but unless you plan on making 40 or so helmets, it's not practical. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OchentaYOcho88 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I am going to be ordering decals for my Kentucky helmet and now I'll have to be deciding on what decals to put on my all black Xenith (suggestions would be weclomed) Thanks for sharing the site, anyone know of any places that will do small lots of custom decals? I have a fantasy football helmet I would like to have a custom logo put on.Also, do you guys think a Revo back bumper sticker would fit on a Xenith helmet bumper?

I've never had luck with painting masks.To the original poster, if you are looking for decals, also check eBay. I've purchased the majority of my decals from there.

ren69 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've ordered from protuffdecals.com In the past. They were professional grade decals IMO. I ordered a set of 12 custom logo wrap around decals, you need to specify the thickness you want. Don't know if they still do but back then they send me free samples along with a catalog when I asked. They do helmet strips, numbers & awards. Check them out. https://www.behance.net/Ren1969 https://twitter.com/Ren1969_Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Honestly, if you wanna get the official 3M helmet decals you can usually find them on Amazon. I've picked up full size ASU helmet decals (the pitchforks and a few different eras of Sparky and the sun logo) more than once from there. I've grabbed a few Bucs decals when I made my custom mini fridge a few years ago too.http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=football+helmet+decals&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Afootball+helmet+decals On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

But I think most sites require 20 if they are intricate logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
