This site is devoted to the history of the Southwest Conference and the great football helmet designs that came from the nine teams in over 70 years of history.



Please also take a look at the special memorial section within the 1939 Texas A&M page, which is dedicated to my cousin, Howard Shelton, who was a member of that team and passed away in 2006.



New updated pages for 2019 as the season progresses, with new helmet information for Baylor, Rice, and TCU. Also, check out the links on several team pages to order full-size suspension era full-size authentic replica helmets for Arkansas, Baylor, SMU, Texas A&M, and Texas from Historic Helmets, which specializes in beautifully made authentic era hand-crafted full-size football helmets. Great opportunity to add vintage SWC helmets to your collection. I have a very limited supply of vintage authentic Southwest Conference patches. These patches feature the old popular SWC logo (with all nine teams). Each patch measures 1 1/4" diameter. $10 each shipped. Please contact me for more information. When they are gone - they are gone!
