No new helmet designs have yet been reported for any of these teams in 2008.
I have received very little historical helmet information for these teams - any information would be appreciated..

I have received conflicting information as to the dates of use for the recent Bethany helmet designs. The helmet with the green oval-shaped logo was in use during at least parts of the 2001 and 2002 seasons (verified with dated photographs), and reportedly during the 2003 season also (not verified), but it has also been reported to me that during at least part of the 2002 season, the team used a logo consisting of the school's name in green capital letters, which was supposedly worn on the left sides only of the helmets, with the right sides left "blank". I have received a photograph of such a helmet (below), though its precise date is not known (it is supposedly from 2002). I would appreciate hearing from anyone familiar with the team who can clarify when these different helmet designs were in use.
During 2004, Bethany was using a helmet design which I would assume was a new one for that year. The helmets were white with green uniform numerals on the sides. I would appreciate a clear photo of one of the 2004 helmets (the photos at the team's web site are not large enough).

This team played its first season of football in 2007. The team used plain green helmets during its first game against Gallaudet, before adding helmet decals for its next game. The decals were apparently worn only on the right sides of the helmets, with the left sides left "blank".
Saint Vincent had an earlier football team which was terminated in the year 1963.

The current helmet design has been used (I think) for several years. Its predecessor was similar, but with the colors inverted (white "W" on blue helmet shell). Photographs of this earlier helmet would be appreciated.
