New College Helmets for the 2012 season
This page is intended to contain new "full-time" helmet designs for American and Canadian college football teams for the 2012 season (including both "home" and "away" helmets for teams using two main designs, but not including "occasional use" helmets). For the purpose of this page, I will consider any "full-time" helmet design that was not in use during the 2011 season to be a "new" one for 2012, even if the design was previously used in 2010 or earlier. Please let me know if you are aware of any other new designs, even if you are unable to provide the necessary information to enable me to draw the helmet. I had considered discontinuing this page for the 2012 season due to the increasingly large number of new designs and the initial uncertainty about whether any particular new design is a "full-time" design, but I have decided to attempt to maintain it for at least one more season.
"Slots" will be created for those new helmets of which I am aware, but for which I have not received sufficient information to add them to the web site.
Early-season "blank" helmets (ones without logo decals) are sometimes an indication of a "decals-were-not-in-yet" situation - it is worth monitoring teams using such helmets for the possible addition of decals later in the season (actually this comment applies to all teams, as some will also make mid-season changes such as adding or dropping helmet stripes).
