In 2022 Culver-Stockton used two of the above helmet designs in the following sequence: B-B-A; B-B-A; B-A-B; B-A.
Below are descriptions of some of the "missing" helmets provided by a visitor to this website:
- 1984: similar to the 1981-1983 helmet shown above, but with the addition of the team nickname "Wildcats" in cursive blue letters, outlined in white; I need a copy of the helmet logo in order to add this one to the website;
- 1985: apparently similar to the 1981-1983 helmet again, but with the addition of both a blue "paw print" and the team name "Wildcats" (above the paw).
- 1989: navy shell, white "cat head" logo; again I need a copy of the helmet logo.
Photographs of some of these may be seen below; I would appreciate clearer photographs for any of these:
*1 In 1978 amd 1979, a "C" decal was worn on the right side of each helmet, and an "S" on the left side; in 1980, both letters were worn on both sides. It appears that the 1979 decals were recycled for 1980 - photographs show some variation in the placement of the "C" relative to the "S" in 1980 (so the two letters were apparently seperate, rather than being combined onto one decal). Some players apparently used white facemasks in 1980.
*2 This design has the uniform numerals on its left side only; the right side has a large "wildcat head" logo (as represented below).
 |
*3 This design was used during at least one game in 2017 (September 30 vs Missouri Valley). The cartoon wildcat logo is present on the left side only; the right side has the same "wildcat head" logo shown in note 5 below.
*4 This design was used during at least two games in 2017 (November 4 vs Peru State and November 11 vs Graceland). The "CSC"/paw logo is present on the left side only; the right side has the same "wildcat head" logo shown in note 5 below.
*5 The left side of this design is "blank" but a "wildcat head" logo is present on the right side (as represented below).

In 2020-2021 Grand View used the following sequence of the above helmet designs: A-A-A; ?-B?-B; A1-A1 (no information for October 24 at William Penn).
2008 was the first football season for the Grand View football team.
*1 Helmet design 'A1' has on its right side only the word "Barn" in a script style (as depicted below); this commemorates the life of Grand View assistant coach Tom Barnabo, who died in November 2020.
