Just curious about the interlocking ISU helmet. I like the helmet but I was just wondering why the helmet was worn at NDSU? I would just think they would do that at a home game as they did with the Red Reggie helmet against SIU. Not a matter of any importance but just curious as to why. I like both versions of the red helmet. I was more ambivalent about the all-black uniforms. In the end, I don't care what they wear if they play well.
Does anyone have information on if there is some plan for the alternate uniforms? Is there a plan to do a blackout night like Penn State does their whiteout every year? Are they planning on wearing the interlocking ISU for away games more often? Nothing of substance here in my post, just curious.
It was kind of a nice throwback moment. The team wore all-red helmets back when I was in Normal. That was the Gerry Hart era. Hart started out strong and went steadily downhill from there. The only name I recall from those days was a running back named Ron Bell. He was drafted by the Steelers but I don't think he did anything in the NFL. Most everything in those days was Doug Collins and the basketball team.
For anyone interested here is a link to the ISU helmet history. I would love to have a reproduction of the 1940 helmet! B&W photo but maybe a red and white leather helmet with the block "N" on the front for Normal. Pretty cool but I am a bit of a history buff. I like that kind of stuff.
