The new, safer helmets that Polk County Youth Football (PCYF) players will be wearing soon will also sport a new logo designed to reflect the organization’s connection to Polk County High School’s football program (see photo, which shows the new logo on an old helmet).

Shane Blackwell of PCYF said the organization wanted to emphasize its ties to PCHS, helping to build a strong tradition.
When he received the new logo, he sent a photo of it to PCHS Head Coach Bruce Ollis.
“Ollis said, ‘That just gave me cold chills,’” Blackwell said.
