Comments

Tiffin is using a slightly different helmet design in 2009 (helmet stripes are apparently not being used). Ferris State has returned to an earlier helmet design - one last used by the team in 2002.

Two new teams will be added to this conference in 2010 - Lake Erie and Ohio Dominican, both of which will be NCAA Division II independent teams in 2009.

I have never received much information about historical helmets for these teams - any useful information would be appreciated.
