This may have been discussed long ago. So forgive me for bringing it back up. Just educate the uninformed please.

I was looking at the helmet project today and was wondering if the historical BGSU helmets were correct.

Here is the link:

Go to the MAC Eastern Division and scroll down to the historical section. Some of these are really off the wall and I wondered if they were for real.

Sorry to potentially thread-jack, but seeing those helmets reminded me of something I thought of the other day. I wonder if Coach Brandon is considering or has considered a "throwback" helmet to go with the brown "throwback" jerseys. Maybe the 1979 all orange (ala Cleveland Browns)?

From everything that I have heard around here these are pretty accurate. There are actually pictures of the "spray-painted" helmets floating around somewhere (TG might have them).

That being said, I am still a staunch advocate of bringing back the "Angry Chicken:"

I think it was in the photo the guy from WMU posted here, and '87 used to have in his sig that showed the spray painted helmets of the early '60s...

My favorite is the one from the 1980 season. They are all pretty sweet though and I love the website in general! I wish they would make a one that does the exact same thing except with jerseys!

I have started to chronicle the uniforms based on some media guides I had laying around. If I get serious with it I will put a bunch of them online for people to view.

And macman, I may just be wearing my leather helmet on 9/9. That thing was a fun investment.

That would be sweet DD! I'll give you all the encouragement that I can offer, and I'm sure others on this site would enjoy it too!
