    Very cool @1959! I've always been kind of a geek about unis/helmets. Here's a graphic I helped put together for Cov Cath/Highlands week with the history of the football helmets during the span of thei

  • Awesome. I remember when you posted these, and it was a bit of inspiration. Just took me a while to get around to it. I’ll definitely add them. Thank you very much.

Dixie had this helmet in the first half of the 90s...red helmet with either a white or grey oval and "DH" in red inside of the oval. Then they reversed the look...metallic grey helmets with a red oval and "DH" in grey.

I'll have to look around for pictures, but both Bellevue and Beechwood played for a time in the 70s with just a big "B" on their helmets.

These shoulder pads say 1990s all the way. Any idea which years they used this design?

That’s Jimmy Sandfoss leading the way for his cousin, Rob Sandfoss. They used these helmets from around 91 till the mid 90’s.

I believe it was '96 or '97 when they went with the 49ers look.

Thanks to those who reached out.  I think we have the full slate of Blue Colonels, and more Holmes, Holy Cross, Lloyd, NCC, Newport and Scott.

Late 70's and early 80's Newport had a red Cats logo the black Cats logo was mid 80's.

Conner from the mid-90s...this was 1996. They just had a white helmet with "CHS" in blue lettering.

For Conner ... 1990 through 1995 were plain white helmets with blue facemasks.

In the late 90s Holmes was playing in a white helmet, red face mask, and this logo (a Gardner-Webb knockoff):

Thanks, I’ll add it. Should have some new additions in a day or two. I appreciate it. 

Can't remember the exact time frame (I want to say mid to late 80s or maybe into the early 1990s) but I remember Boone County using a knock off Raiders logo.   Basically the Raiders logo but reading REBELS instead of RAIDERS.

That was either the 1990 or 1991 season (pretty sure it was 1990)
