CUA was a major college team prior to World War II but the team was discontinued soon after the war. A club-level team began in the mid-1960s and an NCAA Division III team first played in 1977. The "known" missing helmet designs for this team since 1977 are as follows:

A "cardinal head" logo was adopted in 1988; I think it may have been entirely white and black without any red parts; this logo was apparently used through 1991. In 1992 the team used a logo that appears to be identical to the one used by the NFL's Cardinals, but again I think this may have been a white-and-black logo without any red color. The helmet shells for both these designs are presumably red.

In 1998 and 1999 two slightly different logos were apparently used, the earlier one having what appears to be a curved line beneath the school name. On both these designs I think the letters were probably white with red outlines.

*1 Plain black helmets were worn during the 2000 season in memory of team member Anthony Bottoni, who died in an automobile accident in December 1999.

*2 Uniform numbers are worn on the left side only of this design; a "C" logo is present on the right side (as depicted below).

*3 Uniform numbers are worn on the left side only of this design; a "C" logo is present on the right side (as depicted below).

This team played its first games in 2019, though only three games were against varsity "countable" opponents. The 2020 season was canceled due to the global pandemic, hence the first full season was not played until 2021.

Wilkes' 2017 helmet design featured the school name in slanted, arched, blue block letters with yellow outlines (photograph below). I will need a copy of the artwork for this helmet logo in order to add this one to the website;
