August 1, 2014 – January 17, 2015
In celebration of Super Bowl XLVIII and in support of the National Football League, the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Bloomingdale’s have teamed up on a unique collaboration of customized football helmets created by a slew of CFDA members. The 48 helmets were auctioned off from January 15, 2014–February 4, 2014 with 100% of the net proceeds benefitting the NFL Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those touched by the game of football.
The University of Mississippi Museum and Historic Houses successfully bid and won 3 of the one-of-a-kind helmets that are currently on display, by artists Lela Rose, Fenton/Fallon, and Alexis Bittar. The Museum is showcasing photographs of the remaining 45 helmets and is the only museum in the country to have the helmets on display.
