*1 The "eagle head" logo is worn on the left side only of this design. At least three different logos were worn on the right side of this design in 2018: during at least the team's first two games a cartoon "eagle"; during at least two mid-season games (October 6 at Rockford and October 20 at Eureka) the letters "SPC" (possibly standing for "St. Procopius College", the name of the school prior to 1971); and during at least the November 3 game (at Aurora) the letters "BU" with an "eagle head". Below are representations of these right-side designs.

I believe that the "R" decals on the first two helmets shown above may have been worn on the right sides only of the helmets, with the left sides left "blank". 2000 was the first year for Rockford's football program.

By at least the 2003 game against Minnesota-Morris, the team had switched to plain purple helmets. I believe that it is possible that another design or two may have been used also in 2003. A preseason photograph of the team showed a purple helmet with the school name in white letters on the sides, but I do not know if this logo was ever in use during an actual game. Additional information would be appreciated. I suspect that the team made several mid-season changes during its early history.

*1 The logo is worn on the left side only of this design; uniform numbers are worn on the right side (as depicted below).
