From 2010 through 2013 MMA used gold helmets with a logo consisting of a buccaneer with sword and raised fist above the team nickname (see photos below); I will need a copy of the helmet logo for the LEFT side of this design in order to add this one to the website.
*1 Uniform numbers are worn on the left side only of this design; a logo is present on the right side (as depicted below). A different right-side logo was worn during the September 13, 2019 game against SUNY-Maritime (also depicted below).

It is unclear to me when the switch was made from the helmet with the green oval-shaped logo to the plain white helmet that was in use during at least the 2003 season. The green oval was in use during at least the 2000 and 2001 seasons, but I do not know which design (if either) was in use in 2002.
The next older design (?-1999) featured a dark-colored "paw print" with a white outline, and was worn on dark-colored helmet shells (presumably either green or black).
*1 This design has the "panther head" logo on the left side; green uniform numerals are worn on the right side (as shown below).
*2 This design has uniform numerals on the left side only; a "panther head" logo is present on the right side (as shown below).

From 1999 through 2001 Worcester State used a helmet decal similar to that presently used by Florida State, except that the "spear" was royal blue and white, and did not have "feathers" hanging down from it.
