| *see note 1 below |
In 2002, Black Hills State used the helmet design shown in the photograph here; I would appreciate a copy of the "BHSU" logo used on this helmet, so that I may add this one to the web site.
*1 The team wore plain green helmets during the 2004 game against South Dakota Tech as a tribute to former team meber Judd Fulton, who had died in an automobile accident which occurred August 16, 2004.

In 2000, Dakota State used a different "trojan head" logo, of which I have received a copy. I would appreciate some photographs of the 2000 helmet so that I may add this one to the web site.
The pre-1996 helmet logo has been described to me as the block letters "DSU" in yellow with white outlines, "descending down the helmet". Again photos would be appreciated.
DICKINSON STATE

I have not received any information about earlier helmet designs for Dickinson State.
JAMESTOWN
|
|---|
| ? - present |
The current Jamestown helmet is the only one for which I have ever received any information. I believe that plain orange helmets have been used for at least the last decade or so.

The current helmet design is believed to have been used since at least the late 1990s. I have not received any information about earlier VCSU helmets.
