Comments

University of the Cumberlands, Union, and Faulkner are each using new helmet designs in 2012 (shown above).

Pikeville has another new helmet design for the 2012 season (photo below). The team has switched to orange helmet shells with a new logo, which I believe is the word "UPIKE". I will need a copy of this new logo in order to add this one to the web site, and a clearer photograph would also be appreciated.

Faulkner is also using a new helmet design in 2012 (photograph below). The helmets are a darker gray color and have a new "F" logo -

In 2012 Bluefield College has a football team for the first time since 1941.

BETHEL

During 2002, Bethel used gold helmets with (I think) purple facemasks. A purple "B" logo was worn on the sides of the helmets during the first three games (as shown in the photograph below), but these were abandoned following a mid-season coaching staff change. I would appreciate a copy of this 2002 helmet decal so that I may add this short-lived historical helmet to the web site.

Campbellsville was using a new helmet design in 2006; the helmets appeared to be the same color as in 2005, but a new logo, the team name "TIGERS" in white letters, was worn on the helmets. I would appreciate a copy of the 2006 helmet logo.

This school's name was changed from Cumberland College to University of the Cumberlands on January 7, 2005. Cumberland College had changed the names of its athletic teams from "Indians" to "Patriots" sometime around the year 2001.

I have received a photograph of an earlier helmet said to have been used by the team from 1985 through 1995 - the helmet is similar in color to the present helmet, but with a white facemask and a logo depicting a large, block "C" with a "spear" passing through it diagonally, all in white. I would appreciate a copy of this logo, as well as any information about other earlier helmets. In particular, photographs from the 1996 - 2001 period would be appreciated.

This team was using a new helmet design in 2005. The helmets were similar to the plain black ones used in 2004 but for the addition of a new logo, the school's name in orange, block letters (see photo below). I would appreciate a copy of the 2005 Pikeville helmet logo so that I may add this one to the web site.
