DICKINSON STATE

? - 2013	2014 -

I have not received any information about earlier helmet designs for Dickinson State. The first design shown above had apparently been in use since at least the year 2000.

IOWA WESLEYAN

In 2003 Iowa Wesleyan had switched to a new helmet design by at least the game against McKendree. The new helmet logo was the team name "Tigers" in purple, with the helmet shell remaining white and the facemask apparently black. Below is a photograph. I would appreciate a copy of the helmet decal, which would enable me to add this historical design to the web site.

• 2017: A-A-A; E-E-F; F-G-G (VCSU finished with a 5-5 record in 2017 but "helmet design" applies to only nine games since one game (Sep. 23 vs Finlandia) was forfeited in advance by the opposing team)
• 2016: B-B-B; C-C-A; A-A-A; D
