During at least three games in 2017 (October 21 vs West Texas A&M, October 28 at UTPB, and November 4 vs Tarleton State) Midwestern State replaced the "MSU" logo on the right side of each helmet with a "spear" logo like the one worn on both sides of the helmet from 2002 through 2005, The "MSU" logo was worn on both sides of the helmet during all other games in 2017 with the possible exception of game #9 (November 11 at Eastern New Mexico); no photographs or video have been located from this game.

The above are all of the helmet designs used by Midwestern State since the team was established in 1988; the school had a football team during an earlier period which last played in 1956.

This school was named West Texas State University prior to June 1, 1993. The football team participated in the Division I Missouri Valley Conference through 1985 before moving to Division II and joining the Lone Star Conference the following year. WTSU did not field a team in 1991.

Information about this team for the years prior to 1985 is very scarce, but I have received partial information about two other designs used by West Texas State / West Texas A&M:

c.mid 1970s: helmets reportedly were plain silver for at least one year;

1992 - 1993: design was apparently nearly identical to the "1994 - 1995" design shown above but with the letters "WTSU" (instead of "WTAMU") along the horizontal bar extending along the buffalo's body.

Western Oregon University was previously named Oregon College of Education (from 1939 to 1981) and Western Oregon State College (from 1981 to 1997).

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 (the lettering may have been similar or identical to the 2009-2010 helmet logo). The 1998 design was apparently very similar to the "2000? - 2008" design shown above.
