There were plenty of articles prior to the start of the season about the new offerings at US Cellular Field and not one mentioned the Bases Loaded helmet, which has a funnel cake base topped with a giant ice cream sundae in a full sized, inauthentic late 70s/early 80s helmet. As you can probably guess, this was a big hit with the 12 and under crowd.
Meanwhile, most of the preseason attention was on the Irish Nacho Helmet, french fries covered with cheese, sour cream, chives, and bacon. What everyone neglected to mention was that the helmet is just slightly larger than the mini-helmets that the normal ice cream sundaes come in. Slightly disappointing.
