Slater Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I'm asking this because I don't have a clue, and this came up in a discussion today; Is/was there any college/pro/semipro sports team that used a skull-and-crossbones logo on it's helmet and/or uniform?

VitaminD Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Since you've expanded the possible teams to pro, semipro, and college, an educated guess would be YES. Even without slogging through literally hundreds of leagues, I'd wager that there enough teams with pirate or buccaneer themes and names, that one of them or more used a skull and crossbones design somewhere along the line.Can I prove it? Not right now. Could I? Conceivably. Will I? Nope... I don't do other people's research when I get paid for my own. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

BigEd76 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 The Pittsburgh Pirates logos used during most of the 60s, all of the 70s and most of the 80s (the yellow rectangle one and the one before that) had skull-and-crossbones on the hats...

BlueSky Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 This is outside your parameters, but West Jefferson High School in Harvey, Louisiana used a white skull and crossbones on black helmets back in the 70's. Looked awesome. Then some school board pantywaist insisted that it be changed because the "official" school colors were scarlet and silver. They went to a silver helmet with "Bucs" written on it. Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
