About us

Welcome to Helmet Junkies — where football tradition meets handcrafted collectibles.

What started as a hobby has grown into a dream-in-the-making. I’m Charles, a college student from the Central Coast, now living in the Central Valley, and I’ve been building mini helmets since I was a kid. My uncle and I would spend hours recreating classic high school and college designs — it was more than a project, it was a way to honor the game we love.

Now, I’m turning that passion into something bigger.

At Helmet Junkies, I create custom mini helmets based on real high school football programs across California — past and present. Every helmet is made by hand, with attention to detail and respect for the traditions behind each team.

But this isn’t just about collectibles.
For every helmet sold, 5% goes directly back to the school's athletic program — a way to give back to the teams, coaches, and players who inspire us all.

Why We Do It:

  • To honor local football history

  • To give fans, seniors, and alumni something to remember their program by

  • To support athletics at the grassroots level

  • And to turn a childhood passion into a community-driven brand

Thanks for being part of this journey.
Let’s keep the tradition alive — one helmet at a time.
