2012 - A new year, a new version of IH. FOR RESEARCH! FOR REFERENCE! FOR FUN! Outdoor! Indoor! Current! Defunct! Major! Minor! College! Thanks for visiting and please join the forum!
April 16 - CFL. Right now I just have 1990-1999 but it is a start. More to come for sure! I know the CFL started in 1958 but this site will atempt to go back to 1930 (just like I try to do with the NCAA teams). This traditionalist likes the new Missouri helmets. Very cool!
April 10 - Iowa Hawkeyes (NCAA-BCS-Big Ten). Hope to get out more IFL and start on the CFL this weekend. Would have had Iowa done sooner but those damn ANF logos were slowing me way down!
Still, I think the 2007-present chronology of the ANF logos is very accurate! Also, posted a very cool color photo of the 1933-1936 Miami Hurricanes sent in by long time contributor, Jose Pignano.
April 3 - I think the traditionalists such as myself can breath a sigh of relief. I even like the Seahawks new helmet though the stripe seems pointless. But then again, what do I know?
I think NIKE is pointless! Go on now! Go spend your hard earned $$$ on the shiny, new apparel! I can't wait to get mine! Woo hoo!
March 29 - UIF - Seems logical to add this league for now as it merged with the Intense to form the IFL. The rest of the IFL and the Intense league coming soon!
March 24 - Nebraska Cornhuskers (NCAA-BCS-Big Ten) and some more IFL teams. I love this photo of a 1937 Nebraska Cornhusker! It just seems "off"!
March 19 - UFL. I wonder if the UFL will continue to exist as I am surprised it has lasted this long! I developed a cool little feature for this league. Roll over the word "stripe" to get more detail of the stripe (as the 2-D template doesn't do much good on these stripes that are logos themselves)! And of course, roll over the helmets to get a larger logo!
March 17 - Illinois Fighting Illini (NCAA-BCS-Big Ten) and some more IFL teams. Should have the IFL done by the end of the month.
March 12 - Rutgers Scarlet Knights (NCAA-BCS-Big East) and the USFL (1983-1985).
This photo from a SI magazine gave me my first glimpse of the new league back in 1983! Those helmets were so AWESOME! I could not wait for the USFL after seeing that photo! You can definitely see the Panthers silver helmet which would be replaced by their "Champagne Silver" helmet. Also, the Generals "Shiny" logo, which would also be replaced later on in the inaugural season.
The USFL, my favorite all-time league!
March 8 - More IFL posted. Will add more as month progresses. Also, added the 2010 AIFA Ogden Knights. Thanks to Jerry for helping me with this elusive helmet!
March 4 - IFL posted. Only a few teams for now but it is up. Will sporadically add teams through out this month! Any help would be appreciated!
Feb. 29 - Pittsburgh Panthers (NCAA-BCS-Big East)
AAFL - All American Football League. Added a fictional team - Team Colorado!
Football Geography New link added. Check this site out!
Feb. 25 - Syracuse Orange (NCAA-BCS-Big East)
Feb. 22 - Louisville Cardinals (NCAA-BCS-Big East). Check out the numbers on these 1958 Louisvlle Cardinal helmets!. I think these are just about the largest numbers I have ever seen on a helmet! Agreed? They almost look like they were painted on!. I tried to duplicate the #8 font on the representation of this helmet. It could be better but it will suffice for now. I doubt very much a player lost his helmet because he could spot it from the other end of the field by the size of the numbers! The 1957 version also had a weird font. Please check out "'the Ville!" today!
Feb. 20 - World Football League (1974-1975). Here is a Washington Ambassadors WFL prototype that you may have not seen before. A big thanks to Willie O' Burke for the Washington Ambassadors photos!
Feb. 17 - Cincinnati Bearcats (NCAA-BCS-Big East)
Feb. 14 - AIFA - American Indoor Football Association. Some of my favorites! I am missing a few of the 2010 teams. Will add in the future.
Feb. 10 - Connecticut Huskies (NCAA-BCS-Big East). I do believe their is a yellow/gold stripe that separates the blue and white on this UConn Husky helmet. Please let me know what you think in the forum about this. Just want to make sure my eyes don't decieve me!
Feb. 7 - NFL Europa/NFL Europe/World League (1995-2007). Here is a couple of Hamburg Sea Devils prototypes you might not have seen. Not sure if they were official or a fan creation. I like the trident!
Feb. 3 - South Florida Bulls (NCAA-BCS-Big East)
Jan. 31 - EIFL - Eastern Indoor Football League. Just a quick bonus here at the end of the month!
Jan. 29 - AIFL - American Indoor Football League. Some of my favorites!
Jan. 27 - College All-Stars (NCAA)
Jan. 25 - Virginia Tech Hokies (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Links page added.
Jan. 22 - WLAF
Jan. 20 - Forum added - Spent the last few days implementing a new forum. If you get a chance, please apply for membership and start a new topic!
Let me know if you have any problems. Also, a belated Happy Birthday to fellow football helmet fanatic and CO native, Lew. This ICE is for you!
Jan. 19 - Wake Forest Demon Deacons (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Jan. 17 - Wake Forest Demon Deacons (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Jan. 15 - Virginia Cavaliers (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Jan. 14 - WIFL
Does anyone have artwork on this team, Mexico, or any of the other teams that participated in the World Championship of American Football last July?
I would love to add these teams! Especially the Barcelona Drag...er...Mexico! This team has the most detailed logo, some of the others not so much.
Jan. 13 - North Carolina State Wolfpack (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Jan. 12- North Carolina Tarheels (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Jan. 11 - Miami Hurricanes (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Jan. 10 - Maryland Terrapins (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Jan. 9 - Florida State Seminoles (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Jan. 8 - Duke Blue Devils (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
XFL
Jan. 7 - Georgia Tech Yellowjackets (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Jan. 6 - I think I am finally satisfied with the navigation. The drop down menus worked but didn't look good and in time would not have been practical.
It was a lot of fun to try and find "letters" for the letter pages. Can you identify the logos? I will give you one of them. X is Xavier University 1951.
Jan. 5 - Still trying to figure out a simple navigation.
Jan. 4 - Clemson Tigers (NCAA-BCS-ACC)
Jan. 3 - Boston College Eagles (NCAA-BCS-ACC). Will eventually add illustrated helmets. Hope to have all NCAA teams illustrated, not just photos.
Jan. 2 - Denver Broncos (NFL) (my favorite team) up and running. Also, Denver Broncos (AFL). Still needs work.
Jan. 1 - relaunch - started this up again so not much to display
