Maybe we should go back to that '69 preseason helmet.

If any of you have any info on previous Southeastern La helmets, the guy needs help. Click on "Southland".

I still think the Iowa Barnstormers (Defunct Af2 teams) was pretty cool. I never liked the hometown Tallahassee Thunder - logo was too small and couldn't see any detail.

No!

I hate the new fleur-de-lis. Like the old school much better.

the '69 helmet would be cool as hell! All black uniform with gold strips down the legs. Give them an intemidating look!

Yeah, for all of 5 seconds, until the reality of playing the Saints sets in.

When I said I liked the old school fleur-de-lis much better than the one we have now, I meant the look from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. This new helmet is a step down.
