Comments

Former conference member Saint Peter's announced the termination of its intercollegiate football team on June 14, 2007, leaving this conference with four teams for the 2007 season. La Salle made the same announcement on November 19, 2007, which will apparently lead to the demise of this conference in 2008, as Duquesne has already announced a move to the Northeast Conference in 2008.

I would appreciate information about other historical helmet designs used by these teams.

*1 This helmet was in use at least as early as 1994, according to site visitor Justin S. Earlier helmet logos included an interlocking "IC" on gold shells, which was used on both gold and maroon helmets at different times.

MARIST

? - 1984	? - present

During at least the 1985 and 1986 seasons, Marist used red helmets with white facemasks and a logo consisting of the school name in a script style; the letters were white and underlined by a "tail" emanating from the "t". I would appreciate a copy of the logo from this helmet (I have received a photo of it).

The Marist football team played its first season in 1978, so a complete helmet history for the team could probably be determined quite easily by someone at the college.
