I love the 72-76 logo


YEP...

and yes i believe around 1980 or so.. the helmets became a little more yellow - I think every team using yellow helmets had the plastic get more YELLOW then... not just LSU..

were a lot of HS teams with different shades of yellows in helmets in early 80s.

I also remember that starting in 1980 the facemasks changed from grey to the current purple.
Also, the letter decals seemed a bit more "blocky" prior to the '80 season.....They also allowed players to place merit tiger head decals on their helmets before '80.
