What are these NC State mini helmets anyway?
Well, they ain’t nothin’ fancy, just small versions of them football helmets, like, real small. You can hold ’em in your hand, ain’t gotta be no strongman or nothin’. They got that NC State Wolfpack logo on ’em, the red and white and all that. Makes ya feel kinda proud, ya know, like you’re part of the team, even if you ain’t never thrown a football in your life.
Where can you get your hands on one?

Just type in somethin’ like “NC State Wolfpack football helmets” and you’ll see ’em pop up. Or you can go to them stores, the ones that sell all sorts of sports stuff. Sometimes they got ’em, sometimes they don’t. You gotta look around a bit.
Why do folks even want these little helmets?
- Well, some folks, they just like collectin’ things. Like stamps or coins, ya know? These helmets, they’re kinda the same deal. You can get a whole bunch of ’em, different years, different styles. It’s somethin’ to do, I guess.
- Then there’s the folks who are just plain ol’ fans. Big fans, the kind that paint their faces red and howl at the TV. They want somethin’ to show off their team spirit, and a little helmet, well, it does the trick. You can put it on your desk, on a shelf, anywhere you want.
- And let’s not forget the young’uns. Kids love these things. They can play with ’em, pretend they’re the star quarterback or somethin’. It’s better than them video games, that’s for sure. Gets ’em outside, runnin’ around.
Are they all the same?
Nah, not really. Some are plain, just the logo and the colors. Some are signed, ya know, by the players themselves. Them ones, they cost a pretty penny, let me tell ya. And then you got the different styles. Some are the “speed” style, some are the older ones. It all depends on what you like. Me, I like the simple ones. Ain’t gotta be no fancy business for me.
How much do they cost?
Well, that depends. The regular ones, they ain’t too bad. Maybe ten, twenty bucks, somethin’ like that. But them signed ones, or the special edition ones, them can be a hundred bucks or more! It’s crazy, if you ask me. But hey, if people wanna spend their money, that’s their business, right?
Are they worth it?
That’s up to you, ain’t it? If you like NC State, if you wanna show your support, then yeah, maybe they’re worth it. It ain’t gonna break the bank, not the regular ones anyways.

Where to display ’em?
Like I said, you can put ’em anywhere. On your desk at work, on a shelf in your livin’ room, even in your car if you want. Some folks, they got whole rooms dedicated to their sports stuff. Helmets, jerseys, pictures, the whole shebang. Me, I just got a couple on the mantelpiece. Nothin’ fancy, just a little somethin’ to show my support. They’re small enough that they don’t take up too much space, so that’s nice.
