where is the best (cheapest) place to buy an authentic new Cowboys helmet...?

eBay.

cheapest? break into the Cowboys lockerroom and snag a helmet, like they did in the NFL apparel commercial.

Aren't they usually in the $200 range?

Back when I was a yout. I bought a replica helmet, then went to a sporting goods store and bought a pro style face mask for it. Nobody knew the deference. But to answer your question. Try craigslist/Amazon/E-Bay.

Unless you turn it upside down and look at the padding, you cant tell the difference. Same shell and logo. The warning labels on the back might be different but a pleading call to Rydell could probably fix that.

do you have the reg or the throwback?

for display the replica works just fine, here is one i have that has been signed by flozell and larry allen on the side showing.

the replica helmet is much much lighter when you pick it up. the padding inside is not the same.

heres a real helmet, game worn by none other than the great Cory Proctor.
it actually cost me less than the $ 260 the earlier poster gave for real helmets, but that makes sense considering.

like i said if you pick both helmets up you can tell which is real but for display purposes i like my throwback. the real one even has the little blue
dyna label thing the Boys use with proctors name on it.

hope that helps

thanks guys.....i think ill go with the replica and see if i like...my wife wants to buy me one for Christmas and she asked which one and i saw the price differences....but she says whichever one i want...so im thinking maybe i get a reg and a throwback replica for less than the price of one authentic.......

There may not be any place....I think the prices are set by the NFL / Teams....unless you go through a place that has a supply & demand type thing.
However, they are trying to make their money too. People may sy ebay or whatever, it doesn't matter. Just be cautious and shop around.

Thing is, how bad do you really want it and what do you want to pay....
