I have never been shy giving him a hard time, but nice move D Hall. Very sweet for the fan and very cool of him to so this. Good to see. Props DH!

The other day I wrote about two intense Redskins fans who were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and caught a game worn helmet from DeAngelo Hall. After Yellow Canoe gave the helmet to his buddy (Matt James), he was able to get it signed by none other than D Hall himself (as seen in the photo above).
Matt and Joe attended the Lavar and Dukes show at Velocity 5 in Centreville where D Hall was a guest. During a commercial break, they introduced themselves and asked for his autograph. Hall gladly signed the helmet, but requested the visor be returned which they gave to him no problem.

As you can see in the top photo, the helmet was signed by Hall and along with the game day ticket encased in a Redskins shrine that will be remembered by these two for some time.
That is a pretty solid ending to a story that would make most fans jealous. These two will more than likely be telling this story for some time.

That's way cool! Wonder why he wanted the visor back. Must be prescription and take awhile to get or something.

I don't think I've seen Hall with glasses though. My thought was that there are probably a bunch of helmets, so they are easy to replace, but not a lot of visors since most players don't wear them and they have to be sized differently based on the helmets.

Have to have a prescription for the visor in the NFL. Most players use them for anti glare and to keep from getting poked in the eyes. They are usually custom fit to the helmet. Game used and signed hemet...sweet!

I think the dude who got it signed posted a thread about this already.

I thought you only needed a prescription for the darkened ones. I thought everyone could wear the clear. Also looked online and Nike, Oakley, Under Armour, etc have all styles and they seem to fit all helmets only size difference is youth and adult.

Looked and did not see it. If so, mods please merge. It also allowed the kinder and gentler SkinsCrushCowboys to post a thread giving D Hall Some props for a change! Hail

Very cool. I realize that in the big picture a helmet is not all that expensive, but they ain't cheap and players have them fitted and set up just for them. I'm guessing Hall probably regretted tossing it into the stands afterwards. (I'm sure the equipment manager had something to say :ols:) I actually kind of expected him to ask for it back and offer something else in trade. Damn nice of him to handle it this way.

Yup. Just the darkened ones require a doctors note.
