Defunct High Schools
|
This page contains helmet designs used in the past by teams whose
schools do not have high school varsity football team. Some of these
schools may have since changed names, merged with other schools,
or closed altogether. Some of these schools you probably will not
recognize. I would greatly appreciate information about football
helmets used by varsity teams that may not be seen below. |
