Kansas Wesleyan used a new helmet logo in 2023 - the arched letters 'KWU' (photograph below). I have been unable to locate the artwork for this new design, which I will need in order to add this one to the website.

During at least three games in 2017 (October 7 vs Graceland, October 14 vs Central Methodist, and October 28 vs Missouri Valley) the white "EU" logo was replaced with a pink version of the same logo (as represented below).

Beginning on October 23, 2021 (vs Baker) the "EU" logo worn on the right side of this design was replaced with a new logo, the same "horse head" logo worn on the left side of the 2022 design.

I am not certain that the second and third images above represent two distinct helmets. During 2000, McPherson apparently used the "M" logo on the left side of its helmets, and players' numerals on the right side. Whether that scheme was in place during 1999 and earlier season, I am not sure, but I do know that numerals were used on at least one side of the helmet during 1999.
