Shenandoah is a new member of this conference in 2012 and is using a new helmet design (shown above).

Catholic is also using a new helmet design in 2012 (shown above).

Historical Helmets

BRIDGEWATER

? - present

Bridgewater's current helmet design has apparently been in use at least since 1999. I have not received any information about earlier helmet designs used by this team.

CATHOLIC

1994 - 1997	2000	2001 - 2005?
	*see note 1 below

2006 - 2011	2012 -

During the 1998 and 1999 seasons, Catholic used black helmets with red facemasks and with the word "CATHOLIC" in a "gothic" font on the sides.

*1 Plain black helmets were worn during the 2000 season as a tribute to team member Anthony Bottoni, who died in an automobile accident in December 1999.

EMORY & HENRY

c.early 1980s - 1994	1995 - 2004	2005

2006 -

In 2005, this team used a new helmet logo - the letters "E&H" arranged diagonally; the letters were blue and the helmet shells remained yellow. I will need a copy of the helmet logo in order to add this one to the web site. Below is a photo of the 2005 helmet:
