Heads up: For what it's worth, the official UNA athletic website has a graphic depicting a new helmet design

http://www.roarlions.com/Lion_Sports/Football/index.html

featuring an updated athletic logo

but with silver swapped in place of gold. Their first game is Sunday, September 2 at Legion Field (Birmingham) and is billed as the "Labor Day Golden Classic", so hopefully it will get some decent media coverage.

[> Confirmed new Miles helmet in 2011 (D2, SIAC) -- Mike T, 20:07:43 08/26/12 Sun (76.73.168.201)

It also appears that Miles College has changed their helmet yet again in 2011. It's a purple shell with what may very nearly be a palette-swap of the 2004-2008 Mississippi State logo. The text in the ribbon could be either "MILES" or "COLLEGE"; I did not find a reference photo where this is clear. Note that the ribbon tails appear to be pointing up. The JCSU and Morehouse articles below give the best view of the helmet (that I could find).

The Miles helmet in the promotional image on UNA's website appears to be from MGHelmets - http://www.mghelmets.com/div%20II%20helmets/MILES.gif (ribbon text may be inaccurate?)

One rendition of the new logo, although the aspect ratio and line thickness may differ from the helmet decal - http://milesgoldenbears.com/images/2012/8/17/rp_primary_Miles_Football_Logo_1_.JPG

Worn 12/03/11 vs Johnson C. Smith - http://milesgoldenbears.com/news/2011/12/4/FB_1204114454.aspx
11/12/11 vs Albany State - http://milesgoldenbears.com/news/2011/11/13/FB_1113110024.aspx
10/08/11 vs Clark Atlanta (and is that a new white decal on CAU's helmets?) - http://milesgoldenbears.com/news/2011/10/8/FB_1008110431.aspx
9/03/11 vs Morehouse - http://milesgoldenbears.com/news/2011/9/5/FB_0905110321.aspx

Again, fingers crossed that the local media will get a few decent photos of next weekend's game.
