On January 9, 2023 the Academy announced that it would restore the team at a "sub-varsity" level in 2023 and 2024, with a return to varsity play in 2025 at which time the team will be a member of the Commonwealth Coast Conference.

The dates of use for these helmets are quite uncertain; I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can clarify the years of use for each design. The second and third shown above were used during at least parts of the 2003 and 2005 seasons, respectively.

*1 The Merchant Marine Academy began using an American flag logo on the left side of the team's football helmets in 1981 and has used it ever since (the logo was modified slightly in 2014), but a series of different logos have been worn on the right side during the same time period; below are representations of these. Since 2006 the flag logo has been worn on both sides during most games; in 2005, the right side was apparently "blank", judging from the small number of available photographs.
