Title: County Embroidered Albion Lids - Ever Wanted One?
Post by: Vitas Cricket on April 03, 2014, 10:54:20 PM

I have loads of these Albion Ultimate 98 helmets embroidered to carry first class county logos for various players, I also have Ireland ones. They appear to all be 2012 models.

Ultimate 98 is/was well over £100 in this spec (the new 2014 model is closer to £200!)

We are looking for £90 with free UK delivery. PRICE DROPPED TO £50 INC UK DELIVERY

Size S-L:

Essex, Glamorgan, Durham, Notts, Derbyshire, Hampshire & Somerset.

Size L-XXL:

Yorkshire, Northants, Ireland, Warwickshire

Some lids may be available in the other size option, the only one i know for sure that isn't is Essex so please ask if you are looking at buying one.

Anyone walking out to bat in one of those would be as sledgers wet dream!

My opinion too ;) - but everyone's different.

We've already sold an Essex one to a local customer :)

I'm just seeing if we can help to shift these on behalf of a friend.

Buy a brown Surrey one and the replica kit and turn up for a bowling machine session at the oval.  Could be amusing...

How have you acquired these if you don't mind me asking? They look sweet as though, but like Cam said you would be open to loads of abused and look a tit missing your first straight ball

If the fielding side is more interested in my helmet than the shots i am playing. Then i have already won the battle.

I'd love to have a couple BUT it annoys me enough seeing non military people in combats and wearing a beret and capbadge they've not earned the right to ware.. let alone going duel standards and turning out in a county crested helmet when I've not been selected on merit to represent them in a county championship game :(

Still, an england, australia, surrey, worcestershire one is tempting though :)

You'd be surprised bud. Lot's of wannabee's around.  Or people suddenly claiming they've done the commando course, 22 selection or P Coy etc

I expect there's probably more of that up in Cheltenham than there is down here. Are the SAS there now? I expect its pretty obvious to spot the fake SAS troopers, as real ones wouldn't be stupid enough to go out wearing their uniform!

not in chelt bud, they are still where they've always been.

Chelt luckily only has a base for my old trade, so whilst they are military they aren't the combat arms who are a bit more 'rough' (sorry to any combat arm guys here but just look at colchester, bulford, aldershot as example!)

Saw some "interesting" incidents in Aldershot whilst I lived in that area....

I have just amended my first post to show more pictures and give size indications. What is pictured are the counties/nations that are available, but there may be alternative size options that i can get hold of, so please ask. I know i cannot get Essex L-XXL but i haven't checked anything else yet.

We are helping a friend in the industry shift some stock from a company he no longer deals with, hence the cheaper than standard price for something that normally isn't ever for sale at all. :)

Yes, L-XXL

That's a capped Yorkshire lid too.
You'd have to be handy to wear that!!

Or rubbish enough that its pretty obvious youve never got anywhere near a county side and have the helmet by chance.
