A display device for displaying sport helmets consistent with certain embodiments has a substrate that includes a planar surface. A plurality of pegs are attached to the substrate's planar surface and protrude from the surface of the substrate, each peg has an outer diameter that is suitably sized to create an interference fit with an air hole in the sport helmet, and by the interference fit attach the helmet to the display device. The plurality of pegs are attached to the substrate's planar surface disposed at an angle with respect to the plane of the substrate, and with the plurality of pegs being oriented parallel with a plane of horizontal orientation of the display device. Preferably, the plurality of pegs are arranged in rows and columns exhibiting vertical and horizontal symmetry. The display device is especially suitable for miniature helmets such as pocket sized football helmets. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
