ALBION

Three earlier historical helmets have been described as follows: c.1970s: purple helmet with yellow facemask and a white "A" decal; c.1980s: yellow shell with purple facemask, purple "A" with white outline, and white-purple-white central stripes, the middle one being wider than the others; ? - 1988: yellow helmet, white facemask, purple stripe, and a logo consisting of the team name "BRITONS" in purple letters.

*see note 3 below

*1 The left side of this design is "blank" but an "A" logo is worn on the right side (as represented below).

*2 The 'A' logo is worn on the left side only of this design; the right side is "blank". However during Alma's last two games of the 2019 season (November 9 vs Olivet and November 16 vs Finlandia) a logo was added to the right side: the team name "Scots" in a script style with a USA flag color scheme (photograph below). I have been unable to locate the artwork for this logo.

*3 The 'A' logo is worn on the left side only of this design; the right side is "blank".

KALAMAZOO

? - 1990 ? - 1999? 2000? - 2012

2019 -

*1 This design was in use by at least game #5 of the 2014 season (at Albion) while its predecessor was in use during Kalamazoo's first three games. No photographs were located from game #4 (vs Benedictine (IL)). The last design was presumably used through the end of the season, but no confirming photographs were located for games #8 and #9 (vs Trine and vs Adrian).

*2 This design was used during at least three of Kalamazoo's last four games in 2018 (no photographs were located for the October 27 game at Olivet). Uniform numerals are worn on the left side only of this design; on the right side is the same "K"/"hornet" logo which was worn on both sides of the helmets earlier in 2018.


OLIVET

? - 1999 2000 2001
2002 - 2004 2005 - 2006 2007 - 2010

2018 2019 -
*see note 1 below

Olivet apparently used a special helmet decal with an "American flag" theme during the first game of 2015; I would appreciate a copy of the logo used during this game (September 5 vs Earlham).

The logo on the 2001 Olivet helmet has been described as "similar to the Tennessee Titans with an OC on it"; I would appreciate a photograph of this one.

*1 The left side of this design is "blank" but an "OC" logo adorns the right side (as represented below).
