Here is a 1972 helmet from Helmet Hut. http://www.helmethut.com/College/Maryland/Maryland.html These pictures are both from the 1977 Cotton Bowl. I also found this . . . another view of the Randy White picture where it really looks yellow (and you can sit a little bit of the yellow stripe on the pants).

Would never have guessed that from the first pic. The M in that one really did look like a faded red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I have a similar one: Couldn't the apparent color of the pre-1997 Denver Broncos' helmet vary from sky blue to dark royal based on lighting conditions? I've seem it in several different colors from in-game action alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc51design Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 didn't see this coming. As much as I like pink in sports, pink with brown... OK, could work, but then remove those traces of yellow... lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, could work, but then remove those traces of yellow... My freshman year of high school, I took a creative writing class with a local...private school-slash-homeschool-group before going to public high school the other three years. The goal was to eventually become established as a school, I think. We had a meeting at one point in time to figure out what our nickname and colors should be. I don't remember the nickname picked, but I do remember one of the other freshmen jokingly proposed pink and brown as our colors, and we all had a good laugh. Ultimately we decided on Carolina blue and white. I don't think it ever went into effect though - they never had sports and I don't recall ever seeing any official school materials, Carolina blue or otherwise.
