If I am not mistaken, Appalachia started out with their trademak "A" and went to the bulldog sticker about 1977, Sarge Reed's first year of coaching there. They didn't start with the yellow facemasks until the color of the helmets changed from a real dark blue to the color they are today.
I also have pictures of the 1937 Appalachia Bulldogs. My late father-in-law played on that team. They had the leather helmets. He was the starting left guard on offense and weighed in at a whopping 137 lbs.
If you have pics of any of that that you could send to me, please do!
