Presented is a multi-signed, authentic Baltimore Ravens Riddell Football helmet, with the signatures and inscriptions of former Ravens greats Ray Lewis, Ozzie Newsome and Shannon Sharpe. Newsome, a former tight end for the Cleveland Browns, was general manager of the Ravens and earned his first Super Bowl ring when the Ravens won Super Bowl XXXV in 2001, and earned a second ring after the Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII by a score of 34–31 in 2013. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999. Newsome has signed his name at the back-right side of the helmet and inscribed “HOF 99” in gold paint marker.
Lewis was a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and anchored the famed Raven's defense in 2000 that set a league record for fewest points allowed in a 16-game regular season with 10.3 points per game and is considered among the greatest of all time. Lewis has signed his name in the center right side, above the gold, purple, red, white and black Ravens logo decal, and inscribed “#52 Defensive Player of the Year 2000” in gold paint marker.
Sharpe was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 6, 2011. He played 12 seasons for the Broncos (1990–1999, 2002–2003) and two with the Ravens (2000–2001), winning three Super Bowls and finishing his career as the NFL’s all-time leader in receptions (815), receiving yards (10,060) and receiving touchdowns (62) by a tight end. Sharpe has signed his name above the face mask, and inscribed “84 Ravens 34 Giants 7” in gold paint marker. The black helmet has a black facemask and two purple strips across the center of the helmet. The back of the helmet has a red, white and blue NFL “shield” logo decal, and a HOLO STICKER from Gallery of Starz (1103). This helmet comes with a full LOA from JSA (Z42914).
