The problem with that one is that the artwork does not seem to exist anywhere other than on the set of football helmets itself, so that creating a helmet image for it is going to be vastly more difficult and time-consuming than a normal helmet with a simple logo would be. Usually with those I have to find a photograph of one of the helmets taken from a n angle similar to what is used at the website, and then manipulate the photograph to generate a helmet image. As I recall I was having a difficult time finding a good photograph that met that criteria (and actually I need two such photographs, since the two sides are different).

That airbrushed Navy helmet from about 2017 was a similar situation, but seven times worse (since there were seven different designs).
