Comments

I have been waiting for several years to get a copy of the Hartwick helmet logo. In 2005 (or possibly earlier) the team switched to a new logo - "HARTWICK" in blue letters - as shown in the photo below. The new logo was only slightly different from its predecessor and was apparently still in use in 2009. I would appreciate a copy of the helmet logo for this team.

Historical Helmets

ALFRED

? - 2000	2001 - 2003	2004 -

A visitor to this web site reported that from the late 1960s through 1999 Alfred used purple helmets with white facemasks and a logo consisting of the word "Alfred" in a script style, colored white.

HARTWICK

? - 2004?	2005? -

No information about historical helmets has ever been received for this team.

ITHACA

? - present

Ithaca's current helmet design has apparently been used for many years, I believe probably at least since the 1980s.

SPRINGFIELD

? - 2006?	2007 only?	2008 -

In 2007, this team used what was apparently a new logo for that season - the team name "Pride" in white letters, as may be seen in the photograph below. I would appreciate a copy of the helmet logo for this one, which would enable me to draw this one and add it to the web site.

Another helmet design used by this team in recent years featured the team name "Pride" in white, cursive letters; below is a photograph of this one. Again I would appreciate a copy of this helmet logo.

ST. JOHN FISHER

? - present

The current helmet design has apparently been in use since at least the late 1990s. I have not received any information about historical helmets for St. John Fisher.

UTICA

2001 - 2006	2007	2008 -

The Utica football team first played in 2001 and I believe that the helmet designs shown above are the only ones that have been used by the team.
