re: LSU Helmet: Authentic or Replica? Updated with more pics.

Might just be a used authentic helmet with authentic LSU stickers applied to it. The chances of this being used in the game are not likely though, because the men who oversee equipment would not allow a helmet to leave the facility like that. They are so picky about sticker placement. The helmets are stripped after every game and then buffed/polished and new stickers are applied. They check every helmet and make you start over if not done correctly.
