These helmets were designed in honor of \"The Pirate\" - the beloved coach of the Mississippi State Bulldogs from 2020 to 2022. During the game, I felt drawn to the helmet and got up mid-game and started sketching it out. I was not sure why I wanted to paint this helmet, but the next day I painted it and began praying, asking God what was its purpose. A few days later, God led me to send the original to the team's quarterback, Will Rogers, who started as a freshman under Leach and I sensed the deep hurt he must have felt continuing on without his coach. After I sent it to him, other MSU players began reaching out asking for one as well. I decided to make prints of the helmet and send them for free to any player who asked as a ministry to the team. I sent out approximately 28 prints that year to players. \u003csup id=\"cite_ref-107\" class=\"reference\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonths later, I decided to make the print public and sell prints, notecards, and playing cards to the public.
