Abstract
An improved combination sports' helmet and interlocking cap is disclosed including a helmet having a crown portion and a pair of ear portions and including a dual pair of receptacles disposed therein, one pair of receptacles disposed on the crown thereof, and the other pair disposed in the ear portions thereof; a cap for the helmet adapted to mate over the exterior portion of the helmet in near conformity therewith, said cap having a dual pair of male interlocking portions therein, one of said pair of male interlocking portions being operably adapted to removably interlock with the pair of receptacles disposed on the crown of the helmet, and the other pair of said male interlocking portions being operably adapted to removably interlock with said pair of receptacles disposed in the ear portions of the helmet. The cap can be engaged with and disengaged from the helmet in a matter of seconds. Use of the cap permits the sports coach, fans and players to visually distinguish between one team of players over another team of players. It is especially useful where only one color or specially marked helmet is available for use.
