A special thanks to Dave R. and the Minnteonka High School football program who pointed me to their football website. They have an extensive section on their website to the history and tradition of Minnetonka football. They asked the MHSHP to contribute helmets to their website which related to their section on the history of Minnetonka football. They also have a lot great photographs which I was able to use as reference for creating these helmets. This is one of only a few schools where I have the entire collection of football helmets that were ever used by one team.

Wayzata also has a history page on their football website showing a photographic timeline of their program. The historical helmets above came from the information on their site. Their program began in 1936. From then until 1942 they did not wear helmets. Thanks also to Mike B. for the some information on Wayzata's historical helmets.

* Below is a photograph of their helemt in 1948. It's heard to tell if this is a leather helmet or a hard plastic helmet. I could use a little more information on this helmet.

** During these years different colored masks were used during the same season.

***During these years a blue stripe was used on some of the helmets during the same season
