Whether you’re looking for some just team-branded, or a memento of the Kickoff Game, there will be chances to get your gear in FanZone and the Dome. Game programs have sold out early the past two years, so buy as soon as you get in the building.

10. WHO WILL WEAR THE OLD LEATHER HELMET? It’s a tradition almost 100 years in the making. The trophy for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game is called “The Old Leather Helmet,” an old-school leather football helmet that celebrates the origins and toughness of the game. Don’t be surprised to see The Old Leather Helmet worn and passed from player to player post game on the field. You can get your picture taken wearing The Old Leather Helmet at FanZone.
