During recent years CCSU has used the following sequences of helmet designs:

• 2022 - 2023: A (all games)
• 2021: A-A-A; A-B-B; B-B-A; A-A

During the 2000 season CCSU used blue helmets with decals containing the words "Blue Devils" and a pitchfork; below is a rather poor picture of this helmet. I would appreciate a copy of the decal used on this design.

*1 Uniform numbers are present on the left side only of this design; the right side features the same "CC"/"pitchfork" logo which was used from 2011 through 2015.

*2 The right side of each of these designs differs from the left side as depicted below.

This team's modern history dates back to 1969 but I have never received any information regarding helmet designs used before the late 1990s. The first design shown above was in use by at least 1994.

*1 Each of these designs has an asymmetrical stripe sequence - the white middle stripe is flanked by a red stripe on the left side, and by a blue stripe on the right.

*2 Designs 'B' and 'C' both have a script "D" logo on their right sides (as represented below ).

*3 Uniform numerals are worn on the left side only of this design; a new "D" logo adorns the right side (as represented below ).

The team nickname was changed from "Chieftains" to "Skyhawks" prior to the 2005 season.
