Just finished up designing the home page for our schools Strenght and Conditioning database. It was a great pleasure working with the kids for IMD.

Navy “Midshipmen” Football Team Helmets

Navy has seven helmets with seven different ships, representing the position groups that will wear them.

Quarterbacks - Aircraft Carrier - “The QB of the Naval fleet, the aircraft carrier is the ultimate decision maker; the ‘quick strike’ weapon of the Naval fleet.”

Linebackers - Cruiser - “Provides anti-air defense and packs the biggest punch of Naval surface ships, representative of the linebackers on the Navy football team.”

Running backs - Littoral Combat Ship - “Like running backs, these fast and nimble ships can navigate through both crowded shallow and deep waters.”

Defensive backs - Destroyer - “Known for significant fire power, speed, and anti-missile defense, as are Navy’s defensive backs.”

Wide receivers - Submarine - “Predominantly utilized as blockers, wide receivers play a key role in driving the Navy rush attack, taking on a stealth-like persona as they blend into the rhythm of the offense but bring significant fire power when called upon, just like a Naval submarine.”

Linemen - Amphibious Assault Ships - “Just as a lineman’s job is to create a hole for a running back or linebacker, these ships are used to establish the ‘beach head’ that enables the invading force to gain access and ultimately accomplish their objective.”

Kicker/special teams - Minesweeper - “Much like the specific task of the Navy special teams, this small ship has a unique mission of identifying and eliminating mines.”
