Comments
Kentucky State is using another new helmet design in 2012 (shown above).
For the 2011 season Stillman returned to an earlier helmet design, the one last used by the team in 2008. The 2011 helmet logo has the team name "Tigers" in front of a large "S" (photo below); I will need a copy of this logo in order to add this helmet to the web site. I believe that this design is still in use in 2012.
Miles is apparently using purple helmets with a logo consisting of a big "M" with a "banner" arching in front of it containing the word "COLLEGE" (photo below); again I need a copy of the helmet logo in order to add this one to the web site.
I have been waiting for almost nine years to get a copy of the new helmet logo which Tuskegee adopted in 2004, shown in the photograph below. The logo is the team name "GOLDEN TIGERS" in yellow letters with white and red outlines. I believe that this design was in use during each year from 2004 through 2011, although the team may have occasionally used "plain" helmets during these years.

CLARK ATLANTA

During at least several games in 2003, Clark Atlanta was using a different helmet logo on the right sides of their football helmets - a white circle containing the number 64, as shown in the photograph below. This was done in recognition of former Clark Atlanta football player and coach Curtis Crockett, who had died in February 2003; Crockett had worn number 64 during his playing days at Clark Atlanta.

Fort Valley State used at least two different helmet designs in 2003, one with the "Wildcats" logo on the sides, and one without it. The logo was absent during the team's first game of the season against Morehouse, but was present at least during later games against Tuskegee and Albany State.
FVSU used plain blue helmets (without stripes or decals) during at least the 2007 game against Tuskegee and the 2008 game against Valdosta State. This is one team for which there have probably been several other undocumented helmet changes during recent years.

The dates listed here are the roughest of approximations. The first helmet shown above was in use during at least part of the 1999 season, and possibly in 2000 also. The second was in use during at least part of the 2000 season. The third helmet was in use during at least parts of the 2001 and 2003 seasons. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who can identify the precise dates of use for each of these helmets.
LANE

|
|---|---|---|
| ? - 2004 | 2005 - 2010 | 2011 - |
In 2005 Lane switched to white helmets with burgundy facemasks, burgundy-blue-burgundy stripes, and an arched "LANE" logo which was dark blue with a burgundy shadow (photo below); this design was apparently used throughout the period 2005 - 2010. I still need a copy of the helmet logo for this one in order to add it to the web site.
MILES
 |

Miles College had switched from white helmets to yellow ones in 2001 with a new "MC" logo (shown in photograph below); I need a copy of this "MC" logo in order to add this helmet to the site. I believe that this helmet design was used through the 2003 season.

Morehouse seems to use "plain" helmets fairly often; photographs from an early-season game against Fort Valley State in 2005 show the team wearing helmets without decals. I suspect that, in most years, the decals are eventually added to the helmets even when they are absent during early-season games.
