IIRC there are blue ones for individual achievements on the field...also...The WHOLE team gets one blue one for each win...and the gold are for off field achievements.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the the off-field stickers can be for individual achievement/service, but that the on-field stickers are only for accomplishing team or group goals.

The reason the players voted to get rid of the stickers in the first place was because they didn't want to emphasize individual achievement anymore, so they only brought them back as a way to signify participation in accomplishing team and group goals, such as the whole defense holding a team below "X" points, etc...., not things like an individual player getting "Z" tackles.

I found this in the DesNews dated Sept. 13, 2005

"COUGAR HEADS: Mendenhall's staff handed out Cougar head honor stickers to the squad on Monday following the win over Eastern Illinois. "It's a team thing," Mendenhall. After a loss, no stickers are handed out but the offense shared blue sticker honor with the prep defense for scoring 40 points. The defense shared blue sticker honors for holding the Panthers to 10 points. Gold stickers, exclusively for the left side of the helmet are handed out for character and academics (4.0 and 3.0 GPA's) and Ultimate Warrior criteria for 10 hours of community service. No blue stickers were given for special teams or turnover margin in the EIU game."

I want to say that there was an article by the deseret news or salt lake tribune about them, but I can't find it. If anyone can help that would be great.
