oF THe HelmeT
The Temple “T” once again adorns the football team’s helmets, beginning
in 2011. The helmet features a white “T” and a white face mask on a cherry
shell. The helmet is strikingly similar to the one the team wore from
1989-95 and 2004-06, except there is no longer a white stripe down the
middle. The true shade of the “Temple cherry red” color was adopted by
the department of athletics in 1996.
For 30 straight seasons, from 1966 to 1995, the owls’ helmets consisted
of cherry shells. Temple switched to a white shell in 1996, sporting a
helmet adorned with the flying “dominant owl” logo and featuring a
black face mask. The program has worn helmets featuring both white
and cherry shells with various stripes, lettering, face masks and logos
since its inaugural season in 1894.

CHERRY JERSEY / WHItE PaNtS
The Temple football team boasts the ability to go
an entire season without wearing the same
uniform. With two different helmet colors, three
jerseys and three sets of pants, the Owls can don
their Cherry and White colors in at least 18
combinations. That doesn’t even take into
account three different helmet stickers and
various sock patterns, virtually allowing the Owls
to wear something new and fresh each game.
