Found this on http://nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/ if that helps.

Face masks are wrong for 1968 to at least 1973.

Style of the face mask is incorrect.  Color was grey I think. Most were that color back then.

Kelly Green. That is All American Mike Deutsch. Drafted by the Bears. Did well and likely to make the team. I believe he had cervical spinal stenosis found on his last physical which ended his very promising NFL career. Great athlete. Also lettered in track. He knew what his assignment was on each play and usually knew that of his teammates. Huge thighs, ran low to the ground, very difficult for one guy to tackle. Fullback was Mark Belmore. Also very tough to tackle. Great blocker. My junior year we were playing UNLV in Vegas. They had a stud MLB who was trash talking and throwing racial slurs about the white boy. Belmore got pissed so we were lined up to run the next play and he yelled at him “ok you f’in n..... we running right here” and pointed to where the play was going and yelled “I’ll meet you there”. One of most violent collisions on FB field I have seen. Problem was he did same thing next play. We only gained about 4 yds on the two plays. These to RB’s could play on any team any era. 

So in this photo I think it's 1973, was he wearing a grey or a silver helmet?

That photo of number 40 could of been anywhere from 73 to 76.The helmet was grey with grey facemasks.The tomahawks indicated a reward for a special play or outstanding effort.

After looking at these helmets, I would kind of like to see a white throwback helmet for a game.   Thoughts?

White with a green stripe and face mask would be cool.

I think I'd prefer the gray three stripped ones from the 80s I think it would go well with the gray pants . Either way I would just love to see a throwback.

Ever since we started talking about new uniforms and/or another helmet color a couple of years ago....I've always thought white should be our next helmet color, would look sharp!

If it’s 1973 it’s Bill Deutsch. I thought it was Mike and 1972. Helmets were silver

I love stories like this, thanks for sharing.

The game was in Fargo in 1973 if that helps.

So there tearing down Memorial stadium seating and locker rooms. Are the taking out the practice field too?

[geaux_sioux]

I’m sure the turf and track will probably get a nice facelift at some point.

Here is a pic of the front. It is a mini. I'm currently working on the 2016-present. I plan on making as authentic as possible minis for each style UND used through the years.

The helmet color was changed from white to gray two or three years earlier than 1971 which is the conversion year indicated in the illustration above. I distinctly remember the gray helmets at a game I attended somewhere around "68 or "69 when I was in high school.
