WHITEOUT!!

For the first time in school history the University of Calgary football team will not be wearing their traditional red helmets on Thursday evening when they face their provincial rival University of Alberta Golden Bears at McMahon Stadium Thursday evening. Another first is that the Dinos are playing their first ever home game at McMahon Stadium on a Thursday evening.

Thanks to the support on anonymous donors recruited by the Dinos 5^th Quarter the Dinos will don white helmets with a red face mask. The move to white helmets was four years in the making.

The helmets will be used only for special occasions as deemed by the coaching staff and equipment manager Johnny Carr.

The helmets arrived during training camp and Carr has been busy putting on the new logo (Dinos paws) and fitting the players with the new head gear in addition to polishing them. The players practiced with the helmets on earlier this week to get used to the new equipment.

“We are extremely grateful to those that stepped forward to allow this to happen,” states Head Coach Wayne Harris
