missyjane Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 My daughter wants to be an Ohio State Football Player for Halloween. We have the jersey and I think I can find pants to make due but I'm having trouble finding a decent price on a full size Ohio State helmet. The best I've found is $70.00. - Which is way too much for a Halloween costume. If I could find a plain silver or gray one I could probably paint the stripes on it, but all I've been able to come up with is white. Does anyone have any advice on where I should look? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missyjane Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Where do 6th grade boys buy helmets at? I've checked all of the sports stores around here and I just can't come up with anything. I know there has to be something out there. Especially since it's football season gearing up for Christmas. It doesn't have to be for real use but don't they sell "costumes" like this for boys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
