USC Morning Buzz: The Gold Trojans

1957.USC

The above picture might be the most unusual USC helmet ever. In 1957, the Trojans wore gold helmets with black numerals and a cardinal stripe down the middle. It was a one-season design and most USC fans have no idea the Trojans wore a non-Cardinal helmet. That is USC coach Don Clark being carried on the field by his players after a victory over Washington.

  1. Is this blog post a prelude to let’s change the uni’s to something like Oregon, it hurts recruiting, look at me I’m Scott Wolf impacting USC football…
    Well is it or what?

    • Scott likes to operate just like the government & its false economies. Ghost bloggers = real blog. Post an entry like this it becomes “settled material” so he can then gin up controversy.

  2. Scott, are you suggesting at this point USC was experiencing Domer Envy?

    Wow, Gold helmets, i would have laughed at someone who indicated this happened for even one season. Thanks Scott….I think.

  3. A federal appeals court on Thursday struck down a 31-year-old Los Angeles law that bars people from living in parked vehicles. Charlie can move his “home” back inside the city limits.

  4. Bucket is upset! You have yet to post any leather helmet pictures. He said it brings back fond merories of his childhood

  5. I sat through a tough season that year,but ’58 and ’59 were a lot better…those helmets were different,glad they changed back…’57 had some future all-americans and all conference players…lot of them went pro…thanks
