Western Oregon was using a new helmet design in 2011 (shown above).

Historical Helmets

I have never received any information about earlier helmet designs used by this team, which first played in 1965.

CENTRAL WASHINGTON

2006 was the first year for this team as a four-year college (DSC has a junior college-level team for many years prior to 2006).

WOU apparently used several different helmet designs during the second half of the 1990s. During 1999, red helmets were used with the team name "Wolves" in white on the side, possibly with a picture of a wolf's head, also (this logo may have been similar to, or even identical to, the current helmet logo). I believe that the helmet design in use during 1998 was very similar to the "2000? - 2008" design shown above. An earlier helmet from perhaps the mid-1990s was silver with the word "Wolves" in red on the side. I would appreciate some more definitive information about these earlier helmets.
