Comments

New helmet design for the 2008 season will be used by both Central Connecticut State and Sacred Heart (shown above).

Duquesne is a new member of this conference for 2008.

I would appreciate information about other historical helmet designs used by these teams. Some of these teams have only existed for a few years, so it is likely that a complete helmet history could be ascertained quite easily for them by someone at each respective school.

Historical Helmets

ALBANY

1973 - 1977	? - 1985	1988 - 1992
*see note 1 below

1993 - 2003	2004 -

CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE

2001? - 2003	2004 - 2007	2008 -

During 2000, CCSU used blue helmets with decals containing the words "Blue Devils" and a pitchfork; below is a rather poor picture of this helmet. I would appreciate a copy of the decal used on this helmet.

DUQUESNE

? - 1998?	1999? - 2002	2003 -

MONMOUTH

1993 - 2003	2004 -

Monmouth's football team first played in 1993, so these are apparently the only helmet designs ever used by the team.

During the 1998 season, St Francis used black helmets with a logo depicting a red lightning bolt, outlined in white; I would appreciate a copy of this logo from someone. These helmets had red facemasks and white-red-white central stripes.
