I can't imagine a topic that would be more boring to the majority of
those on H-L than when did RPI use the bullet logo on its uniforms, but I
thought that I better correct an error that I made a couple of hours
ago.

I meant to say that they were not used for more than a few years.
Sorry.  Searching through all of the pictures that have somehow found
their way into my office, I can say that RPI was still using the Santa
Claus type uniforms at least through 1969-70.  In 1973-74 RPI was
using uniforms with a large RPI on the front and was using helmets
that would have been more appropriate for a football team.  RPI was
using the ornate-RPI-on-the-diagonal uniform at least from 84-85
through 86-87.  Further investigation will have to wait until the evening.
