  • 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.

Here's the Simon Kenton helmet from 1984. Not exactly sure what years they were playing with that particular design.

Thanks, I’ll get it added. Everything I have so far is at https://hometownminis.com/helmet-history-project .  I need to make them higher res tho.

I got sidetracked with the tecmo game.  Maybe I’ll be able to use these for a throwback game one day.

No prob! I'll work on some of the other schools, but I'm pretty positive Beechwood is the one I have the most info for.

For Conner, in 1983 (not sure if it started in 83 -- I know the 80 team that lost in the state championship had the Wishbone C) they used the "Cougars" sticker similar to the old Washington State "Cougars" sticker -- on a white helmet, the sticker was blue, then a big red stripe down the middle with smaller blue stripes on each side of the red stripe. Blue facemask as well.
