Trojan Armor - Tommy Trojan Armor Used during the 1995-2000 Seasons
This is the suit armor I built while I was riding Traveler during my tour of duty as Tommy Trojan from 1995-2000. This Trojan armor is made of all hand cut and formed and tooled leather. It is a stylized suite of Trojan armor and not a representative of Trojan Armor. It was agreed upon by those in charge of USC's branding and marketing that the common understood image is something that is a mix of Greek, Roman and the modern concept of what a Trojan Image is. Those mixtures and the representative armor on the Trojan Statue at USC was what I used to develop this image. The shoes, shinguards, armguards and helmt are exact replicas of what is on the Tommy Trojan Statue on the USC Campus. The breastplate is a leather muscled Breastplate to compliment the existing elements and to mimic the muscled torso of the Tommy Trojan Statue. The sword is a Roman Gladius with a Fulhum Blade. The tunic is a match of those worn by Romans and keyed to match the USC Marching band. The plume on the helmet uses actual hair from Travelers 3, 4, 5 with one red feather from the Original Tommy Trojan helmet worn by Richard Saukko. The spear was not approved for use.
