hogo_sportz 19 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Just a reminder, football season is right around the corner and with that teams are always unveiling new bonnets. MGHelmets.com has stopped updating his high school section unfortunately, but thankfully I've interacted with him enough over the years that I've picked up a few skills of my own. Please send any pictures/logos/updates of helmet designs for your school this year (or any school) as well as any throughout history so I can update my collection linked below. http://hogoheegee.com/hogo-history/helmet-history.html Thanks!

MrSocko 136 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Here is a Facebook link https://www.facebook.com/HurleyRebels with pictures of the Hurley Rebel football teams over the years. The 1st year of 1951 is on there in black & white with the leather helmets. Some of the pictures are in black and white and some in color. Hurley colors before 1976 were black and orange and black and gold. The colors after 1976 are the red, blue and gray that everybody is use to seeing on Friday. Just by looking at the black & white of some of the early pictures, the helmets might not have been painted. The helmets of the early 70's were gold, not quite like Grundy but a lighter shade of gold. The helmets in the early 80's were red and in the late part of the 80's they were blue. Blue was used up until the mid-90's. Silver, similar to Ohio State, has been the color of choice since the mid 90's. I hope this helps some.

hogo_sportz 19 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 That's a teepee. Funny, I made the helmet and thought it was an arrow tip. Teepee is more obvious though. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,746 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 I noticed that Marion and GW are using "spirit stickers" or "award stickers" on their helmets, anyone know what the symbols are? any other teams using these? just curious, I like them but not a lot of teams use them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,746 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Thomas Walker has a new look, basically just reverse last years look. From Blue masks to white, blue logo to white, blue stripe to white and white helmets to blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no gray helmet. In 1979 you had a white one with "Wave" on the side. I have pictures of it. I have pictures of the rest and can vouch for their validity unless you have pictures with dates to prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogo_sportz 19 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 That would make sense. The image I have is a guy catching a pass for Clintwood in a playoff game. Not sure who they were playing. Do you have images of any from when you played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 935 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 on the bright side with that picture, it looks like you have a new Pennington helmet to work on HOgo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogo_sportz 19 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 on the bright side with that picture, it looks like you have a new Pennington helmet to work on HOgo. This is true. I didn't think I did until I just looked again and noticed the guy on the ground. What do you guys think those colors are? Black helmet Stripes - white in the middle, gold/yellow on the sides? Gray masks? Bobcats outlined in...white/gold/yellow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
