Sports fan helmet

Abstract

A sports fan helmet has a one-piece molded plastic shell and rear projecting brim providing for an appearance during usage that a user is wearing a conventional baseball helmet backwards. The helmet includes an impact absorbing liner disposed inside the shell and provides for a minimum impact shock attenuation. It is configured to allow the user to appear during usage that such user is wearing the helmet backwards. A logo is placed on the outside rear surface of the shell above the rear projecting brim, and reinforces the appearance that the user is wearing such helmet backwards.
