The earliest photo I've found showing a helmet (1) worn by Anoka is 1915. Between 1915 and 1945 they also wore various versions of a brown leather helmet. Anoka opened in 1888. A special thanks to the Anoka County Historical Society for allowing us to view year books and old photos of Anoka High School Football.
