2003 Official Rossi Helmet (VR46)
The Valentino Rossi 2003 official helmet would become one of his most popular designs, as well as one of his longest running – Rossi wore this design as his primary helmet between 2003 and 2005. Superstitious fans consider this to be his lucky helmet as he won 29 races over two years, on two different bikes (Honda and Yamaha).
It’s a striking and a more grown-up design than Rossi had ever worn previously, gone were the cartoon sun and moon designs from previous years and in their place was a stylish black sun on a yellow background, and a yellow moon on a black background. The front of the helmet simply featured a red chin area with a yellow ‘number 46′ and as a result this helmet model is usually referred to as the ‘VR46′
