I have received hardly any information about helmet designs used by this team during the 1960s and 1970s. The third design shown above was apparently used throughout the period 1982 - 2004.
*1 The hornet logo is present on the left side only of this design; white uniform numbers are worn on the right side (as shown below).

During the mid-1990s NCCU used silver helmets with maroon faceguards and the team name "Eagles" on the sides of the helmets, in cursive, maroon letters.
In 2002, NCCU used a silver and/or white "flying eagle" decal, as shown in the photograph below. I would appreciate a copy of this logo, which would enable me to add this helmet to the web site.
