Colors: Crimson and Gold
I don’t have any information right now about any Chaminade football uniforms from before the 1970s. Therefore, if you have any information to offer, please e-mail me. In the meantime, I need to see if the Mineola Public Library has any copies of past Chaminade High School yearbooks.
Here is some information I recently received about Chaminade’s football uniforms of the 1950s:
Chaminade uniforms in late 1950's were
Pants: Gold with 2 thin Crimson
stripes down the sides.
Jersey: Crimson with Gold block
numbers; gold horizontal stripes on the long sleeves (see Princeton Jerseys).
Helmet: Crimson with 2" (?)
gold stripe front to back.
Note these were leather helmets (like Notre Dame was still wearing)
1) 1958 - One game JV Jerseys were
worn:
White with crimson block letters; shoulder stripes of red/gold/red.
2) 1956 (57?) - Also had Plain Gold
Jerseys with Crimson Block numbers.
The Chaminade Flyers wore a red helmet with a single one-inch wide yellow-gold stripe down the center. Home football jerseys were red with yellow-gold block numbers on the front, back, and upper sleeves; and the pants were a fairly deep golden yellow with a single narrow red stripe down each outseam.
Chaminade’s red helmet now has three yellow-gold stripes running down the center with the middle stripe being wider than the outer stripes. Red home jerseys now have white borders on the yellow-gold jersey numbers and narrow gold-white-gold striping around each sleeve starting about an inch up from the hem. White road jerseys have red numbers with yellow-gold borders and narrow red-gold-red striping around each sleeve. On both jerseys, there is about a half-inch of spacing between the stripes. Yellow-gold pants are virtually unchanged from the 1970s.
Chaminade’s helmet now features the word FLYERS in yellow-gold underlined italicized san serif letters, plus the striping has been removed from the helmets. The new road jerseys now have three red stripes around each sleeve with the middle stripe being wider than the outer stripes and with thin yellow-gold stripes between each pair of red stripes. The new pants were yellow-gold with rather narrow red-white-red outseam striping.
The Chaminade helmet is unchanged from 1988, however the rest of the uniform is largely overhauled. The red home jerseys still have yellow-gold numbers with white borders, but the Northwestern-style sleeve striping has been replaced by two adjoining two-inch stripes, a yellow one above a white one. The pants look similar to those of 1988, but they appear to be in a lighter shade of yellow-gold than in the past. (Perhaps a change from Pantone 124 to Pantone 123?)
Chaminade’s red helmets are largely unchanged from the 1988 through early-1990s period except for the removal of the underline from the word “FLYERS” in favor of a stylized jet plane silhouette treatment for the top bar of the F in “FLYERS.” The red home jerseys replace the sleeve striping with gold-white-gold UCLA shoulder loop striping that is rather low on the shoulders. The yellow-gold pants now have a three-inch wide red stripe down each side of the pants.
The helmet and pants for 2002 are unchanged from the late-1990s. However, the new Chaminade home jersey for 2002 has a contrasting yellow-gold rib-knit collar with a red and white design pattern in the middle. Such a pattern is repeated on the sleeve-end cuffs of the jersey.
