In 2021 Wayne State used five different helmet designs, all of them new, in the following sequence: A-A-B?; B-B1-B1; B1-C-C; C-D.

During 1979 and 1980 Wayne State used light-colored helmets with a decal which spelled the word "WILDCATS", and from 1986 to 1989 a wildcat head decal was used. Another design, used during at least the 1984 season, featured a very unusual abstract wildcat head logo, visible in the photograph below:

A clearer photograph of this design would be greatly appreciated.

*1 The right side of each of these designs differs from the left side as represented below. Design 'B1' has on its right side the same 'paw print' logo worn on both sides of the 2005-2019 design.

During the 1980s and perhaps early 1990s, Winona State supposedly used the helmet design shown in the photograph below; the logo appears to be similar to but slightly different from the one used by Michigan State. I would appreciate a larger or clearer photograph of one of these helmets.

*1 Winona State apparently used plain helmets (without logos on the sides) during at least some of its games during the 2000 season, or perhaps the logos were worn on only one side of the helmet.

*2 Helmet stripes were apparently first used during Winona's third game of the 2014 season (at Minnesota-Crookston, September 20).
