The student equipment managers will clean, wax and apply the well-known Trojan logo sticker to all helmets following Thursday's practice, just in time for Saturday's season opener. The decals are removed at the end of each season and then reapplied two days before the season begins, leaving eight months of blank cardinal helmets during spring and fall training camp practices.
