Where did you get or how did you make these display cases? Love the look of them and am looking to get some to house my collection, but can't find any decent looking ones that aren't made for the NFL's 32 teams.

coogrfan Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I bought my cases from Riddell 10+ years ago (I've been at this for a quite a while ). Sadly, Riddell stopped selling acrylic cases in favor of wooden versions at some point in the mid-2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coogrfan Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 A quick heads up - this guy's youtube channel is full of useful info for anyone who wants to make custom pocket pros: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCalTMqXMPf2_A6_ZbSPj0lg/videos He also has a website: https://www.pocketprofootballhelmets.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Is there any thread in these forums where cool stuff like this PocketPro Helmet site are collected? Custom logos are great, but I want to create merch! I want to see this stuff in the real world. DIY custom sites like this. Professionally printing T-shirts and jerseys. Tutorials on how to go about creating full-size custom helmets and the best way to print decals. I'm sure there's a million things like this that are out there. I would never have thought that customizing these mini-helmets was such a common thing, but now there's a whole world of it. What else am I missing out on?

Tyrano123 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 For those of you who make custom pocket pros printing your own decals: what are the dimensions you use that seem to have a universal fit on the helmet? So far I've been practicing printing on a regular sheet of paper to see if that works. Literally have everything else but the correct sizing. Any help is appreciated! My PMs are always open to talk pocket pros as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Brooks Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 This is funny. I was in a flea market and saw a bag of the Pocket helmets and thought of making some of the defunct NFL teams from awhile back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindenborn17 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hey everyone, Those are excellent helmets. I love looking at custom pocket pros. I have been making custom helmets for a few years now. I included some of my work from my banner on Ebay, there are a few repeats in there. I try to make them as authentic as possible complete with front, back bumpers, warning stickers and more. Im currently looking for some new ideas. Feel free to message me or check out my work any time!

My PMs are always open to talk pocket pros as well! To make the logos I usually do the same idea. Each logo has different dimensions and sizes and looks different on each helmet. As time consuming as this can be, It is in my opinion the best way to get the logo looking as authentic as possible. I find it a little easier to print a logo in many different sizes on a sheet so i first get a good idea of around where it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prripper Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Here's a couple custom Pocket Pro helmets I have done over time. I actually dropped in to see if there were any falcons concept logos that anyone had posted up and then found this fun little thread. I've been doing custom Pocket Pros for about 10 years. I focus on getting my decal layouts to match exactly what the teams wore on the field for that particular helmet/game. I have a bunch more, including a lot of 3D printed ones I have been doing lately but didn't want to thread hijack. Always cool seeing other people's custom micro helmets! You can see a bunch more of my stuff on the Kentucky Custom Sports FB page or by following my Twitter account - HokieCustoms 2014 UNC Military Appreciation helmet on standard Riddell Speed Pocket Pro Shell 2017 Virginia Tech Military Appreciation helmet on standard Riddell Speed Pocket Pro shell 3D printed Riddell Speed shell with custom mask attached with micro screws to give a more authentic look! Got this one so glossy that it was difficult to take pics in my lightbox from the glare. One of my favorite more recent projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
