Tennessee High School Football Helmets

Now S.A.S., Rossville Christian, Clay Co., and Grace Baptist have been submitted to the HSF Database throughout the night. I look for them all to go up within the next day or two at the latest.

 

 

We need the helmet image for Grainger /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

 

 

East Literature & West Creek will be added prior to the kickoff of the 2009 football season.

Tennessee Helmet Project

Quick update to the Tennessee Helmet Project:

 

All helmets are now on the site, with the following recent changes:

 

1) The Rutledge helmet is now on a "Defunct and Non-TSSAA" page and has been replaced in 3A by Grainger.

2) Lancaster Christian, a non-TSSAA school, has been moved to the "Defunct and Non-TSSAA" page from its DII placeholder.

3) Tennessee Temple, which ended its program after 2007, is off 1A and now is on the "Defunct and Non-TSSAA" page.

4) A new Gibbs helmet for 2008 will go on the site tonight.

 

Thanks to everyone who has helped, and particularly DaCatfish, who went to many lengths to track down images and photos. It's high school football fans like him that make updating the site worthwhile for me.

 

Next, I am going to concentrate on scores, bowl games, and other information that's hard to find about Tennessee high school football. The Helmet Project will always be a work-in-progress, as new schools are added and schools change helmets, and eventually, time permitting, I will try to do historical helmets for the schools as add defunct helmets for old schools.

I know you have been busy on these projects and you should be commended for your efforts. When do you think you might get to adding the historic helmets? I think I can give you some pictures of old Vonore helmets. If not I believe I can describe some of them good enough for you to go off of.

Any time. Submit some pictures and/or descriptions and I'll get started on historical helmets. Thanks.

Vonore High School

1982-83 Plain white helmet with gray face mask.

1984-86 Royal Blue helmet with royal blue face mask. Devil logo like the one on the Greeneville helmet, just without the collar.

1987-88 The Devil came off, the helmet was solid royal blue.

Will work on getting more details on other years that the helmet changed at Vonore and will also try to get good enough pictures for you to go off of. I know at one time there was a royal blue "V" with a wide royal blue stripe down the middle but can't remember the years. It seems like it was the late 70's, but not for sure.

 

Madisonville High School

1991-Black helmet and facemask, gold stripe down middle with two white stripes on each side of gold one. Side decal was a gold lightning rod like the one on Air Force Academy's helmets.

1992-93 Solid black helmet with yellow facemask

 

Greenback High School

1987- Black helmet, white middle stripe with two orange stripes, side decal was an orange "G" like the one you have currently on the Gibbs helmet.

Greenback also had a solid black helmet with a spear and feathers kind of like Riverdale's. I'm thinking that was the early to mid-90's. Had it for several years. Will try to confirm years.

Thanks for the detail. I am a little bit behind on a few things I need to get completed on the site, but I will definitely tackle these over the next week.

I've seen that helmet as recently as 2006. Check out the 2006 Photo Album for the Midway-Greenback game.

 

If you can find out how far back that helmet went, please let me know. Thanks.
