As the leading sports memorabilia display case retailer, we carry cases by every major manufacturer and we have seen almost every type of display case on the market today. With extensive analytics data, we are able to see what shoppers are looking for both on Memorabilia Displays and outside of our site as well.

When choosing any display case, the investment in the case typically reflects the value of the item being displayed. For example, you are most likely going to spend more on a display case for a signed Peyton Manning helmet than your high school football helmet. Once you have your budget set, it really comes down to personal preference on appearance and other needs such as size, color, weight, finishes, etc.

With so many full size football helmet display cases to choose from, we ranked the top 10, taking into consideration quality, value and popularity. Should you wish to go right to our full collection, check out all of our Football Helmet Display Cases.

We looked at the following three factors and gave a rank from 1-10 (1 = poor, 10 = best in class) for each case:

1. Quality – How well-made is this case? What is the quality of construction? Will it last long?
2. Value – Does this case offer the most bang for your buck? For its price, are you getting your money’s worth.
3. Popularity – Based on page views and purchases made on Memorabilia Displays as well as analytics on other sites.

Top 10 Football Helmet Display Cases

 

10. Fanatics NFL & NCAA Licensed Team Logo Football Helmet Display Cases

 

Manufacturer: Fanatics Quality: 6/10 Value: 6/10 Popularity: 8/10 Overall Score: 6.6 out of 10

New to the top 10 list this year are the Fanatics officially licensed NFL & NCAA logo football helmet display cases. They come in a variety of display case types that we carry in our store, including the classic gold risers, mirrored wood base with clear acrylic top or a acrylic wall mounted case. Our favorite feature is that each case has and officially licensed white logo etched in the acrylic for every NFL team and 60+ NCAA teams to really make your collectible helmet stand out.  While searching, filter to your favorite team and they may even carry special commemorative games etches such as super bowls or player accomplishments. 

Pros

1. Licensed team logos – they have logos for every NFL team and 60+ NCAA team etched into the acrylic
2. Variety – Fanatics has a expansive selection of display case types for your football helmet and commemorative games and players to help your collectible football helmet stand out

 

Cons

1. Waiting for coupons- Fanatics is always running coupon promotions, so it may be irritating waiting for the right coupon. At the very least, wait for free shipping as this is their most common coupon
2. Classic style- many of these styles are very common in the display case market today. So we'd strongly consider these cases if you really only wanted to have your team logo etched

9. Football Helmet Premium Display Case Wall Mountable

Manufacturer: STG Supplies Quality: 6/10 Value: 8/10 Popularity: 6/10 Overall Score: 6.6

A classic look with golden risers holding a tiered acrylic high gloss black base, this wall mount football helmet case is one that will give your office or man cave a classic or nostalgic feel. This case is relatively easy to mount with just two holes on the back of the case (screws not included). The acrylic top sits on the base and lifts off the top for easy access to your helmet. There aren’t many wall mountable football helmet display cases, so we would recommend giving this a look if you don’t want a tabletop display case. There are rubber feet on the bottom so this could work for a tabletop display case should your needs change. We like you can add a 3"x1" nameplate on the front ledge of the acrylic base. 

Pros

1. Versatile – Can be wall-mounted or placed on tabletop with rubber feet. Mirror on the back looks great while wall-mounted for better viewing of the back of your helmet.
2. Simple Set-Up – Easy installation with two holes for screws and easily removable acrylic case.

 

Cons

1. Style – Classic look with gold risers on black tier base can look a bit dated.
2. No Customization – There are no customization options with riser colors or wood trims like other display cases.

 

8. Football Helmet Premium Display Case with Gold Risers

Manufacturer: STG Supplies & BCW Supplies Quality: 7/10 Value: 7/10 Popularity: 7/10 Overall Score: 7.0

The classic football helmet case with acrylic gold risers with layered high gloss black acrylic has been around for many years, and for good reason. Visually, it looks great having your helmet sit on gold risers holding a black acrylic layer to really make the helmet stand out in your collection. While home décor trends will always change, this one seems to withstand trends as this case gives a sense of a professional touch to your football helmets. You can’t go wrong with this football helmet case. We like you can add a 3"x1" nameplate on the front ledge of the acrylic base. 

Pros

1. Price – Price is great value compared to the other football helmet display cases.
2. Options– If you prefer silver risers, you can purchase them separately to swap them out with the existing gold risers.

 

Cons

1. Common – This is one of the more classic football helmet display case looks on the market that has been around for a while. It may not be for you if you are looking for something unique.
2. Large – This case has a large footprint so you need a large area to set it up.

7. Football Helmet Premium Display Case with Silver Risers

Manufacturer: BCW Supplies Quality: 7/10 Value: 7/10 Popularity: 8/10 Overall Score: 7.3

Just like the gold riser football helmet display case, this case boasts more modern silver risers. While home décor trends will always change, this one seems to withstand trends as this case gives a sense of a professional touch to your football helmets while being displayed. You can’t go wrong with this football helmet case. The silver risers will be shipped separately with the gold riser helmet display case and will require you to swap out the risers.We like you can add a 3"x1" nameplate on the front ledge of the acrylic base. 

Pros

1. Price – Price is great value compared to the other football helmet display cases.
2. Style – Silver risers are a more modern look vs gold risers.

 

Cons

1. Material – Acrylic top can easily scratch compared to glass cases.
2. Large – This case has a large footprint so you need a large area to set it up.

6. Football Helmet Cherry Wood Display Case

Manufacturer: STG Supplies Quality: 7/10 Value: 7/10 Popularity: 9/10 Overall Score: 7.6

This cherry wood table top full size football helmet display case features a wood base with acrylic top and mirror backing. The cherry wood isn’t a solid base, rather, manufactured. It is still attractive nonetheless. Having an acrylic top is an excellent option over glass cases because it isn’t going to shatter if dropped, lighter in weight, more scratch resistant and has less glare. This case has felt pads on the bottom to protect furniture or shelves. You can add a 2" x 1/2" nameplate in the woodwork. 

Pros

1. Price – Great price point for a wood acrylic table top case.
2. Materials – Cherry wood base is a higher end look compared to a typical acrylic base.

Cons

1. Quality – Base is not as well-made as the Perfect Cases glass football helmet case.
2. Selections – Only comes in cherry wood trim color.

5. Football Helmet Octagon Glass Display Case

Manufacturer: Perfect Cases Quality: 8/10 Value: 8/10 Popularity: 8/10 Overall Score: 8.0

The octagon-shaped helmet display case with glass cover is one of the most popular helmet cases, rivaling the rectangle display case. It is a very attractive, well-made display case that serves as a statement piece. The glass top has UV protective properties with a mirror back and the wood base comes in five different trims to match your home or office décor. We like this case for its unique octagon shape that provides three mirror angles on the back for an even fuller view of your football helmet, a perfect option if you have autographs on the back. The mirror bottom helps shine more light on your helmet to really make it stand out.

Pros

1. Unique – Octagon shape with three mirror angles on the back really makes your football helmet stand out in a unique way.
2. Protection – UV protected glass helps protect your football helmet, especially important for helmets with autographs or t hose that are especially high-value or rare.

 

Cons

1. Production Time – This case can take up to five business days to ship as they are made on-demand. If you need the case more urgently, this may not be the best option.
2. Heavy – The glass top is heavier than acrylic, so you need to make sure you have the proper support (shelving, table, etc.) for this large display case. Also, it is more susceptible to shattering if it falls, compared to an acrylic top.

4. Full Size Football Helmet And Football Premium Display Case

Manufacturer: STG Supplies Quality: 7/10 Value: 9/10 Popularity: 8/10 Overall Score: 8.0

Just like the double full-size football helmet display case, this case is a great option if you have two collectibles that need to be encased together. We like that it is less expensive than buying two separate cases for a football and a football helmet. When you pair the right items together, it really makes both of them stand out. This is a pretty large case though, so be prepared to give up some shelf or desk space. There is a hole for the football rest securely in and the top acrylic layer can be unscrewed if you want to change the layout having the ball on the left or the right. There is a 1” gap on the front to put name plates as well.

Pros

1. Value – Instead of buying two separate cases, this option will save you money to display a football helmet and football together in one case.
2. Statement – If you have a full size football helmet and football and you are looking for a statement piece, this is a sure way to give it the attention your items deserve with its large size and mirror back to make your collectibles stand out.

Cons

1. Size – At 27” long and 12.25” deep, this case is one of the largest cases on the market. If you don’t have the room, we would suggest buying two separate cases.
2. Style – This case only comes in gold risers with black acrylic tiered bottom, which is more of classic look as opposed to the newer wooden bases.

3. Full Size Football Helmet Custom Hand Crafted Wood Cabinet Display Case

Manufacturer: Homeplate Heroes Quality: 10/10 Value: 7/10 Popularity: 7/10 Overall Score: 8.0

For your most prized football helmet you need only the best case fore, this is the highest quality case you will find on the market today. Real solid hardwood, locking window cover, UV protection and over 20 different combinations of wood and suede matting to choose from make this case worth the wait to have custom made for your collectible. Wall mountable, this will make any office or man cave look like you are housing a museum worthy collectible. Each case is hand crafted and made on demand by a long-time picture framer who turned his craft towards building cases for sports memorabilia. .

Pros

1. Quality – Highest quality made football helmet case on the market with solid hardwood and custom suede matting. 
2. Customization –  Ability to choose wood and matting colors to complement your item or team. 

 

Cons

1. Production Time – Can take up to one week to be built, since these are custom made on demand. 
2. Very heavy – Needs to be securely fastened to your wall. 

2. Wall Mounted Football Helmet Glass Display Case

Manufacturer: Perfect Cases Quality: 10/10 Value: 9/10 Popularity: 9/10 Overall Score:9.3

The second most popular football helmet display case is the wall mounted football helmet glass display case by Perfect Cases. Like their other products, the Perfect Cases glass case don’t disappoint with their wall-mount version either. The wall mount has only three trims to choose from (black being the most popular on Memorabilia Displays) and can come in their traditional UV protection or 99% UV museum quality glass cover too. The standard mirror back and all clear sides, including on the bottom of the case, it is a great touch to really show off your sports memorabilia. The top of the glass case is like a lid that opens up to place your football helmet in the case. Though glass makes this case heavy, it’s well-built to stay up on your wall. We highly recommend using dry wall anchors or drilling into a stud to secure this case.

Pros

1. Customization – Comes in three trims to match the décor of your room.
2. Quality – This wall mount display case is the most high-quality case on the market today.

Cons

1. Installation – Can be difficult to install into drywall with one person and needs proper support on the wall with anchors or drilling into studs. This is a more permanent option than something that sits on a shelf and can easily be moved.
2. Fragile – Glass is more breakable than acrylic so there is a high probability it will break if it falls off the wall.

1. Football Helmet Rectangle Glass Display Case

Manufacturer: Perfect Cases Quality: 10/10 Value: 9/10 Popularity: 10/10 Overall Score:9.6

The most popular football helmet display case based on page views and purchases, the football helmet rectangle glass display case is an excellent choice to display your helmet with the quality craftsmanship of the wood base and UV protected glass top with mirror on the back. We love that the base comes in 5 different trims to match your home or office décor the mirror bottom and back really makes your helmet pop while being displayed to help light up your helmet. In general, we've seen that glass is a more popular option over acrylic as it gives your collectibles a museum quality look.

Pros

1. Customization – The real wood base comes in 5 different trims perfect for customization.
2. Design – Both mirrors on the bottom and the back reflect more light on your helmet to make it stand out while being displayed.

Cons

1. Production Time – This case can take up to 5 business days to ship as they are made on demand. Be mindful of this turnaround time when placing your order.
2. Heavy – The glass top is heavy compared to acrylic, so you need to make sure you have the proper support for this large display case. This is one of the largest cases that our manufacturer Perfect Cases makes.
