Riddell Mini Helmet Types

Speed Mini Helmets

Speed minis are available for all 32 NFL teams plus hundreds of college programs, making them the go-to choice for most collectors.

Revolution Mini Helmets

Before the Speed became dominant, the Riddell Revolution was the helmet of choice for many NFL players. The Revolution mini captures that classic design with its distinctive shell shape and unique facemask configurations.

Key Features:

• Classic Shell Shape: Rounder profile compared to the Speed

Revolution minis are particularly valued by collectors who appreciate classic designs or want to represent the helmet style of legendary players from that era.

SpeedFlex Mini Helmets

The SpeedFlex represents Riddell's cutting-edge helmet technology, and the mini version faithfully replicates its innovative design. The most distinctive feature is the hexagon-shaped flexible panel on the shell.

Key Features:

• Hexagon Cut-Out: Signature design element from the full-size version
• Modern Aesthetics: Sleek, aggressive profile
• Premium Facemasks: Often features hand-sprayed masks
• Latest Team Designs: Most current alternate helmets use this shell

SpeedFlex minis represent the future of helmet design and are increasingly popular among collectors who want the most current look.

Pocket Pro Helmets

Pocket Pro helmets are ultra-compact collectibles, significantly smaller than traditional mini helmets. While they sacrifice some detail for size, they're perfect for collectors who want complete sets or have limited display space.

Key Features:
