During recent years Colgate has used the following sequences of helmet designs:
- 2022: J-J-K; J-J-J; K-L-J; J-L
- 2021: J-J-K; J-K-J; L-L-J; K-J?
- 2020: J-J
- 2019: I-F-F; F-I-I; F-I-F; I-F-I
- 2018: F-F-G; F-F-F; F-H-F; F-F-F
- 2017: F-F-C; F-C-F; C-F-F; F-F
- 2016: E-E-E; F-F-F; E-E-F; E
- 2015: C-C-D; C-C-D; A-C-A; A-C-A; A-A (the last three games being FCS playoff games at New Hampshire, at James Madison, and at Sam Houston State)
- 2014: A-A-B; A-B-B; A-B-B; A-B-B
During at least 1960 and 1961 Colgate used white helmets with numerals and an "arrow" of unknown color; below are some photographs from these years. Note the two different styles of numerals. I have received a report that the 1962 Yale media guide contained descriptions of opposing teams' helmets, and that the Colgate helmet was described thusly: "White helmet w/maroon and gold markings & maroon numerals". "Markings" presumably refers to the arrow but it is unclear what parts of the helmet were "gold".
The report I received earlier indicating that the 1969 Colgate helmet featured a version of the "100" logo has been disproven by the photograph below (and others), which reveal that the team actually used a "150" logo, recognizing the college's 150th anniversary. All of the photographs appear to show additional small letters (or something) after the "0", but whatever it is is not legible.

During at least two games in 1964 Lehigh used a small helmet logo which appears to be a modified version of the cartoon 'engineer' logo shown below. The helmet version appears to lack the train and airplane, and the position of the arm is apparently different. I would appreciate any clearer photographs of this 1964 Lehigh helmet.
