The Mustangs will then host their own tournament here on Saturday, Sept. 2. off the phrase “respect the past, represent the future” and will feature several new logos, including an image of a mustang wrap- ping from side to side on one of the helmets, and a circle branding iron with an “H” in the middle on another. Images that rep- resent the wheat fields that dominate the region were incorporated into the stripes and shoulders, and a three- leafed clover and the let- ters “BB” which will be placed on the back of the helmet, honor Kilkenny and Heppner’s deep Irish heritage. The Mustangs will have a multitude of combinations to choose from with four jersey and pants colors (navy, gold, white and gray), and four different helmet designs. The team will also sport the latest cleated footwear and gloves that create the image of a Mustang when placed together. While clearly the color designs will stand out, Nike designers applied the same principles to the Heppner designs as when creating NFL uniforms—which em- phasized enhancing perfor- mance. “The Heppner football uniform was a special proj- ect for the Nike design team to work on, meant to honor Bob, his contributions to the community and the Kilkenny family,” said Nike Creative Director Todd Van Horne. “We look forward to the Mustangs taking to the field in Nike’s latest football innovation, Vapor Untouch- able uniform, and wish them all the success during the upcoming season.” The Kilkenny fam- ily, including Bob’s sons Patrick, Russell, John and Kevin, and daughter Kelly, will be on hand for the opening game against St. Paul on Friday night. The family invites all Heppner supporters to join them at Bucknum’s Tavern follow- ing the game for a hosted celebration. NIKE 54; 3 rd , Roger Ehrmantraut, 61.

Booster Club dinner, auction Oct. 14 - THREE The family of Bob Kilkenny and Nike have teamed up to outfit the Heppner Mustangs in new, state-of-the-art uni- forms with several nostalgic touches that honor the late Heppner supporter. -Contrib- uted photo -Continued from PAGE ONE football program, which he viewed as representing the culture of integrity, fam- ily and hard work of the tiny eastern Oregon farm- ing community of 1927. “Bob” Kilkenny could be found at every home game with the rest of the town’s residents, and also routinely loaded his family in the car to drive the hundreds of miles through the rolling wheat fields of the scenic re- gion for the Mustang’s road games. Kilkenny was lov- ingly known as “Bad Bob” by his friends and family, and Nike has incorporated several symbolic features in the designs to honor him as well as the traditions and history of the Heppner football. The extensive ar- ray of uniforms and apparel are being privately funded by the Kilkenny family, in conjunction with Nike, who offered its services in honor of Bob and the Kilkenny family. “We couldn’t be more honored to have the bril- liant minds at Nike design these uniforms for these amazing, hard-working kids on our football team in honor of our father,” said Kelly Kilkenny Hale, Bob’s only daughter. “Dad loved Heppner football—it was about who we were as individuals coming together as one for our community. It’s what we did growing up—it represented how we lived our lives—it is part of who we are.” A key component of the uniform design was built NOW HIRING DRIVERS South Morrow students named to EOU spring 2017 dean’s list LA GRANDE—Patrick Collins and CJ Kindle of Heppner, and Shannon Boor and Jasmine Dixon of Ione were among the Eastern Oregon University students who qualified for the spring term 2017 dean’s list, the univer- sity has announced.
