BLUEFIELD STATE

2021 -	2021 -	2023 -
		*see note 1 below

Bluefield State did not have an intercollegiate football team from 1981 through 2020; before 1981 the college had a football team for several decades. I have been unable to locate any information about helmet designs for the 1960 - 1980 period other than a few photographs of similar quality to those below, which appear in Elon University's 1976 yearbook. I believe these helmets are those worn by Bluefield State, which did play Elon in 1975 and used "devil" imagery for the school's athletic teams during this period; the logo appears to be a simple "pitchfork". Any additional information about helmet designs used by earlier Bluefield State teams would be appreciated.

*1 The logo is worn on the left side only of this design; uniform numbers are present on the right side (as depicted below).

The dates of use listed for the earlier helmets are very uncertain. I believe that JCSU used blue helmets only during the 2000 season, with no logo earlier in the season, and with the yellow "JC Smith" logo added later. Yellow helmets were used during 1999 and earlier, but the logo sequence is unclear, but I believe the white bull logo is more recent than the one with the blue bull. There was also a version of the yellow helmet with the word "Bulls" in a script font, used some time in the early 2000s.

This team played its first season of football in 2008. The team used plain orange helmets during at least its first game, but helmet decals were added by early October 2008 (see photo below). I would appreciate a copy of the helmet logo for this design.

Beginning in 2009 a different logo was used (see photo below) - again I would appreciate a copy of the artwork for the helmet logo of this design.

*1 Uniform numerals are present on the left side only of this design; the right side has a "lion" logo with the school name (as represented below).

*2 The "LU" logo is present on the left side only of this design; uniform numerals are worn on the right side (as represented below).

*3 The "LU" logo is present on the left side only of this design; uniform numerals are worn on the right side (as represented below).

*4 The "LU" logo is present on the left side only of this design; a "lion head" logo is worn on the right side (as represented below).

*5 The "LU" logo is present on the left side only of this design; a "lion head" logo is worn on the right side (as represented below).

*6 The "LU" logo is present on the left side only of this design; a very intricate logo which I have not been able to locate is worn on the right side (photograph below).

Saint Augustine's did not have a football team from 1966 through 2001. In 2002, which was the first year for the restored team, SAU used royal blue helmets with a logo on the sides which I cannot identify from the clearest photographs yet found (see below), but which appears to be a "flying falcon" logo similar to one of Air Force's old athletics logos.

*1 Shaw's team was still at the JV or club level when this helmet design was in use. 2003 was the first year for the varsity team (though the school had a varsity team previously which played its last season in 1978 - information about the earlier team's helmet designs would be appreciated).
