Mini Speed Helmets: the photo is inside the ball
Mini speed helmet displaying the photograph from inside the shell. Competitors print the picture on the outside surface. Showball seals it inside the shell where it cannot scuff or peel — a patented design made in Austell, Georgia for 34 years.

What you are actually buying
Youth football banquets are the biggest single use for the mini speed helmet. Eight-year-olds do not care about a certificate, but a helmet in their team's colors with their own photograph inside the shell gets carried around the room for the rest of the night and put on a dresser at home. Leagues order them by team, one per player, with the season and division on the shell.
NFL-fan gifting is the other half. A supporter's helmet in their team's finish, with a photograph from the game they attended or a tailgate they hosted sealed inside, is a Father's Day and Christmas piece rather than an awards piece.
Position-group awards fill the rest: an offensive line that gave up two sacks all year, a special teams unit, a defensive back who led the region in interceptions.
The shell is a mini speed profile with a facemask and interior padding, finished in the colors you specify. The eyepiece is set into the shell where the earhole sits, and the photograph is sealed behind it.
