Looking back at my dad's Appalachia "yearbooks," I saw that in the 70's rather than the Bulldogs having the plain blue helmets with a yellow facemask, they actually had Bulldog head logos on the sides of their helmet. I thought this was very interesting since it later became an Appalachia trademark to have some of the most plain uniforms out there. I'm sure this was probably the case in other years, too. Does anyone know when this started/stopped?

A couple others I can think of are:
- Coeburn used to have plain white helmets with the word "KNIGHTS" in blue letters, underlined, if I remember correctly
- Clintwood used to have plain green helmets with the number of the player wearing it shown in white
