About Nutcase - Nutcase Helmets was founded in Portland, Oregon, USA by former Nike Creative Director and designer Michael Morrow. Morrow came up with the idea for highly visual and expressive helmets in 2000, when he attended the ‘Civil War’ football game between Oregon and Oregon State in a modified Oregon State University multi-sport helmet. Morrow had adapted the orange and black helmet with yellow rubber duckies symbolising the impending doom of the rival Oregon Ducks. When fan reaction was overwhelmingly positive, Morrow took the idea to the next level, developed the brand name and initial product line.
“We recognised a gap in the marketplace for cycle and skate helmets, where they were either solid black or a licensed character. There was nothing ‘cool’ from a graphics standpoint for youth and adults,” says Michael Morrow. “We made Nutcase helmets for ourselves, our kids and our friends. The response has been tremendous.”
Launched in the spring of 2005, Nutcase is sold throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Japan.
