North Garland Raiders 10-5A

First of all, I just want to say how amazing this site is. I know you've put a lot of work into it, and it clearly shows. I think you are doing excellent work.

I had one comment about North Garland's helmets (10-5A. The helmet you have pictured for them now is indeed the helmet they wore this past year. For several years previous to that, however, the "Raiders" decal was red with white outline on the black helmet instead of black with red and white outline. I've found a 2008 football preview article that has a picture clearly showing the helmet with the red letters and white outline www.thegarlandnews.com/sports.cfm?article=7433. I went to Garland High School and graduated from there in 2003, and I know that they had the red letters with white outline like this picture at least since the 1999 season. I am quite confident that the design goes back even further, but I don't have any specific dates to back that up. I just wanted to give you the heads up and hopefully the picture can help you out.

Thanks again, and excellent job with the site!

I had a helmet with the red inside of the Raiders, but I saw some pictures where it looked black inside. Here is a picture from 2003 from the Dallas News.
