Jersey & Helmet Style

The college football centennial logo replaced the Black Trimmed Spartan Head Logo during the 1969 season.

Helmet

For the 1969 season, Duffy Daugherty removed the Black Trimmed Spartan Head Logo from the helmets. In its place, the team showcased football shaped logos designed by the NCAA that commemorated the 100 year anniversary of college football. Most college teams joined in the celebration by wearing similar style logos on either their helmets or jerseys.
