Malone, a member of this conference in 2018 and earlier, has terminated its football program; helmet images for Malone have been moved to the page for "defunct college teams" .
Kentucky Wesleyan used a new helmet design in 2018 (shown above).

During Findlay's second game of the 2015 season (September 12 at Tarleton State) the team used a modified helmet design - the logo appears to have a 'U.S. flag' pattern, and the stripe sequence may be different. I would appreciate a clearer photo of this design than the one below, which is the most useful one I have yet found.

This team first played in 1983, so a complete helmet design history could probably be ascertained quite easily by someone at the college with access to reference materials (yearbooks, game programs, etc.). I have not received any information about pre-1996 helmet designs for KWC.

2008 was the first year of varsity play for this team (a club-level team played in 2007 and earlier years).
*1 The 2016 helmet design featured a logo commemorating the tenth year of the Lake Erie football team and the college's 160th anniversary. The logo included a large "X" (for the number ten), flanked by "2007" and "2016"; beneath the X is "1856". This logo was worn on the left side only of each helmet; the right side featured the same "STORM" logo which was worn on both sides in 2015.

In 2017 Tiffin used four of the above helmet designs in the following sequence: D-D-D; E-E-E; F-C-D; D-D.
In 2016 Tiffin used at least three of the above helmet designs in the following sequence: B-B-B; B-C-A; A-A-A; ?-A (no information for November 5 game at Lake Erie).
