WhoDey42 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I've looked all over trying to find what school this helmet is from and can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhaha Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Have you checked the Helmet Project? That's the best resource I'm aware of for this type of question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Sorry... no idea. but I do have a question. Is it "State" or "Tate"? Cuz if its State, I'm not sure how the other side would look... the logo would "point" the wrong way. And if its Tate, what is that outside shape supposed to be? http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDey42 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Yeah, I've looked through Helmet Project a lot looking for it but can't find it. I'm pretty sure it's "State" and not "Tate", but I don't know. The other side has the same sticker, its just facing the opposite way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Is that Black and Orange? It's not on the Helmet Project, but if I had to take a wild guess, it would be Idaho State. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilgump Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I believe that Idaho state has white helmets with an orange block I on it, this could be an older helmet though. The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.

WhoDey42 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 The outline of STATE is gold. The helmet is from the mid '90s. The sticker inside says the last time it was inspected was 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I think it's Alabama State, but don't quote me on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshawaggie Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I believe that Idaho state has white helmets with an orange block I on it, this could be an older helmet though.That's what I meant, I assumed that was an older helmet, it has a 70's/80's feel to it. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I think it's Alabama State, but don't quote me on it.It isn't. Bama State had a black helmet with a hornet on it in the 1990's back when Ron Dickerson was head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 It may be the lighting but the helmet looks like a dark blue or purple. Kinda looks liek it could be from Boise State or something.

My vote is for Alabama State too. I'll ask around at work and see if any of the alums recognize it. Plainsman Parking Lot.

Guest darkpiranha Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Could it be from a movie or TV show? It's so generic that it screams movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDey42 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 The helmet is black.I don't think it is from a movie, it looks like it has been used and its been inspected and reconditioned. But who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmm Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 If not Alabama State, might it be from Bowie State? They are a Division II CIAA team (based in Maryland, if that helps) with black and gold as their colors, and the Helmet Project says..."This team appears to change helmet designs VERY frequently, and I believe it is possible that several more helmet designs besides the ones shown here have been used even since the year 2001. Photographs of other designs used by the team would be appreciated.I believe that Bowie State may have also used plain black helmets for a short time between the "BULLDOGS" helmet and the first helmet with numerals."All of the historical helmets shown are black, with black face masks, and the pre-2003 versions have no stripe.Just a guess from scanning the Helmet Project.

gueman Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I always thought the "gold" in Bowie St. was more of a yellow color. Also I doubt they would ever have used something that stylized. Perhaps you could take a better pic that shows the colors better. I see a black helmet with tan letters with an orange border. Also do you have any other info like were you saw it. From the photo it looks like it was in an equipment room or something? Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P. J.

WhoDey42 Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Yes, I'm an equipment manager, and we trade helmets with every team we play or sometimes with other equipment managers that used to work here. They have been doing it for a long time and we have about 50 helmets, and this is the only one we don't know about.When I go in later, I'll take some more pictures.

That would seem to be a good starting place.
