Hand-painted replicas of the Illinois Rededication Game helmets, used in the 2024 victory over Michigan, are now available for purchase. These replicas are painted by Armando Villarreal, who was responsible for painting each helmet used during the historic game at Memorial Stadium. The replicas include official decals matching those from the on-field helmets.
Orders for these hand-painted helmets are fulfilled after they are placed and typically take between four to six weeks to complete.
The University of Illinois, The Collegiate Licensing Company, and Armando Villarreal Studios have officially licensed these helmets. Previously, game-used helmets offered by Illinois sold out before the game concluded.
For those interested in purchasing a replica helmet, orders can be made through Armando Villarreal's platform.
