Lou Holtz restored the splendor of the Fighting Irish football tradition and joined the pantheon of Golden Dome legends alongside names like Rockne, Leahy and Parseghian. Holtz hit pay dirt in 1988 when the Irish stormed to a perfect 12-0 season followed by a 34-21 victory over West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl clinching the National Championship. This dazzling sun-gold Irish helmet from the 1990s is signed by Holtz in black marker, rating a near-flawless 10. The Riddell helmet was worn by tailback Rick Lozano, who played from 1990-92 and whose name is handwritten in black marker inside the helmet, which has stickers on the front and back reading "Irish."
