Comments

McMurry has a new helmet design for the 2009 season (shown above).

Texas Lutheran used plain black helmets during at least its first game of the 2009 season (vs Trinity (TX)), and Sul Ross State was also using plain helmets early in the 2009 season.

LOUISIANA COLLEGE

Louisiana College had a football team through the 1968 season, after which the team was discontinued. It was restored in 2000.

In 2006 this team used the helmet design shown in the photograph below - I would appreciate a copy of the logo used on this helmet design.


MARY HARDIN-BAYLOR

1998 - 2000? 2001? -

Mary Hardin-Baylor's football team first played in 1998, so these may be the only helmet designs that the team has used.

In 2007 and 2008 McMurry used the helmet design shown in the photograph below. The helmets were maroon with a new logo, a large "M" with the school name across it. I would appreciate a copy of the helmet logo for this one, which would enable me to add this historical helmet to the web site.


MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE

SUL ROSS STATE

? - 2001? 2003 - 2007 2008

During at least the 2002 season, Sul Ross used a "wolf head" logo on the left sides of its helmets; the right sides featured the same "SR" logo as is worn on the current helmet design. I would appreciate a copy of the "wolf head" logo, so that I may add the 2002 helmet to this web site.

An earlier helmet is shown below; this photograph is reported to be from the 1995 season and shows a script "Lobos" logo on a red helmet shell. I would appreciate a copy of the logo used on this helmet.


TEXAS LUTHERAN

2007; 2009

This team was using a new helmet design in 2008 (see photo below). The logo was apparently a "bulldog face" in front of an outline of the state of Texas, which is enclosed by an unusual square border. I will need a copy of the helmet logo in order to add this helmet to the web site. The logo was apparently worn on the right sides of the helmets only; the left sides being "blank".
