During recent years Frostburg State has used the following sequences of helmet designs:
Photographs from Frostburg State's first game of the 2005 season vs. The Apprentice School show the team wearing plain black helmets, but it was reported to me that the team was soon thereafter using the "paw" decals once again.
*1 Design 'A' has uniform numbers on its left side only; the right side is "blank". 'A1' also has uniform numbers on its left side only; on the right side is a red "paw print" logo (like that shown on the "2012-2013?" design above).
*2 'B' is a highly-reflective "red chrome" design; the left side of this design is "blank" but a "paw print" logo is worn on the right side (as represented below).
*3 This design is "blank" on its left side only; on the right side red uniform numbers (like those shown on the left side of 'A' above) are present.
*4 Uniform numbers are worn on the left side only of this design; on the right side is a red "paw print" logo (like that shown on the "2012-2013?" design above).

| 2010 | 2011 - 2014 | 2004 - 2009; 2015 - |
The helmets used from 1987 through 1989 have been described as having navy blue shells and facemasks with a "blockstyle GSC on the side in white".
*1 I have received a report indicating that the "G" logo used on this design was worn on one side only of the helmet from 1992 through 2000, but I do have some photographs from the latter part of this period showing the "G" logo on the left sides of some helmets and on the right sides of others, suggesting that the logo was probably present on both sides.

During the last few games of the 2004 season, the decal worn on the right sides of the West Virginia Wesleyan helmets was modified by the addition of the number 32 in orange; below is the clearest photograph I have received showing this alteration. This was done in memory of team member Scott Stein, who died on October 10, 2004 due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
*1 This design has the "W" logo on its left side only; the right side has white uniform numerals (as depicted below).
*2 This design has uniform numerals on its left side only; on the right side is a "W" logo (as depicted below).
