Holy
Family Diocesan High School of Huntington, New York wasn't with us very long,
but it had some very good football teams in the early-to-mid 1970s.
Holy
Family's first varsity football uniform had a design identical to that of the
great Cleveland Browns teams of the 1950s and 1960s, but set in the Chargers'
red and black colors.
The
helmet was red with two 3/4-inch black stripes flanking a one-inch white
stripe down the center and an interlocking H-F logo in black full block letters
outlined in white on each side.
The
black home jersey consisted of sewn-on white plain block numerals on the front,
back, and upper sleeves and a white-red-white-red-white stripe sequence around
each sleeve. The white away jersey had black plain block numerals on the front,
back, and upper sleeves and a black-red-black-red-black stripe sequence around
each sleeve.
Pants were white with narrow black-red-black
outseam striping.
The
helmet was similar to that of 1969, but without the interlocking H-F logo.
Black
home jerseys were now short-sleeved and had white block numbers on the front,
back and sleeves, and at the end of each sleeve was a red rib knit cuff
decorated by two black stripes with feathered white edges. The 1969 sleeve
stripes were now gone from the jerseys. The road jersey was white with black
numbers and a black sleeve-end rib knit cuff containing two red stripes with
white feathered edges.
White
pants were the same as in 1969 and were worn with both jerseys.
Helmets
were now white with red-black-red striping and no logo decals.
Home
jersey was solid black nylon mesh with no sleeve striping or rib knit cuff. The
white jersey was solid white nylon mesh.
White
pants had a two-inch wide black stripe bordered by two narrower red stripes
down each side.
Helmets
and jerseys were the same as in 1981, but were now worn with red pants that had
a wide black stripe bordered by thinner black stripes down each side.
