Raceland's new helmets

[LRCW]

From the school's Facebook page.

 

 

2016 Raceland Football - This year's helmets will feature a replica of the CSX railroad track. The railroad separates the communities of Raceland and Worthington. Since the 1920's it's also tied them together through work, through school, through community. Raceland and Worthington are tied to the railroad. It's right outside our window. This year we stand with the Railroad. Through good times and bad, it is us. We remember our mothers and fathers, our brothers and sisters who work and have worked for the Railroad. We remember that this is a part of Raceland and #ThisIsHome

I like it. It looks good and it portrays the past, present and future of the community. Way to represent. Good luck this year, other than the 26th... :up:

Well, we do have a couple of ties to the BIG1O ...Gerad Parker, (a former Rams asst. coach / receiver/backs coach) is now an asst. WR coach at Purdue and former K, PK & QB at Raceland, Aaron Petry played at Ohio State.

I iike it, as others have said it represents Raceland's past and a common thread that tied our Raceland / Worthington communities and schools together. I grew up close to the Shops / Tracks and could hear the trains, even the lunch whistles at the car shops.

I LIKE THE DESIGN. My Granddad was a 40+year railroader for L&N.

Very cool design. I also heard that for the first time ever, Raceland will have the school name across the front of the jerseys.

Pretty sharp!

We also have front plates that say Rams to cover the word Ridell and a back plate that says Raceland to cover the word Ridell on the back of the helmet.
