Xbox Collaborates with Riddell to Create Commemorative SpeedFlex Helmet Inspired by Master Chief
The Master Chief was not the only person born with an iconic helmet. Celebrate the launch of Master Chief’s iconic helmet by celebrating its release. Halo InfiniteRiddell, Xbox and Riddell have joined forces to produce a commemorative, Master Chief-inspired helmet. This was created to mark the launch of the new game. Produced by Riddell Sports, the leading football head protection manufacturer, the commemorative Master Chief-inspired helmet design was created using Riddell’s SpeedFlex model featuring the Master Chief’s signature green Mjolnir armor color with accents of gray metal and rubberized techsuit colors. Each helmet is unique because it was individually weathered using a multi-step custom painting process.
The commemorative helmet also features decals of Master Chief’s iconic Spartan number ‘117’ on the sides of the helmet, along with a special edition Halo ‘20-year anniversary’ decal on the back. A SpeedFlex SpeedMachine face mask SF-2EGTX can also be added to the helmet. This kit includes face mask clips, black parts and custom painted valve caps and strap-locs. The look is completed with an Oakley Pro Shield in Prizm 24k Iridium that closely mimics the visor on Master Chief’s helmet. The Master Chief-inspired helmet is only for exhibition purposes and not intended to be used for any actual playing or other uses.
This limited edition SpeedFlex commemorative helmet is still available at www.riddell.com.
