HELMETS: black with royal blue trim
DSYL has decided to have a standard club color helmet that we will ask parents/players to purchase when they purchase new helmets. Going forward, when anyone needs a new helmet, we would ask that they purchase a helmet with the new DSYL standard . The helmets will have the same black with royal blue trim that the high school uses allowing players to use helmets purchased during their middle school years in high school as well.
We realize that many have purchased white, blue or black helmets recently and want to make clear that that it is perfectly fine to continue to use white, black or blue helmets which are DSYL colors. We would simply ask that as players outgrow their helmets that they purchase a helmet with the new black and royal blue trim DSYL color standard. White, Black or Blue hand-me-down helmets from older siblings are fine as well.
