The Saluki Football team will wear new helmets in 2016. In conjunction with a new era in Saluki Football under first-year head coach Nick Hill, the 2016 Salukis will wear a maroon helmet with the SIU logo on the right side and the player's number on the left side.

Caleb Martin (WSIL-TV) gives you a sneak peak of the new helmets and talked with AD Tommy Bell and senior running back Aaron Stanton.
