Washington was using a new "WU" helmet logo in 2007, which you may see in the photograph below - I would appreciate a copy of this new logo.

The current helmet design has apparently been in use since at least the early 1990s. Chicago may have been using white helmets in 1969 (which was the first football season for Chicago since 1939) and in the early 1970s.

I believe that Washington used a different "W" logo immediately prior to the adoption of the "?- 2005" logo - it was apparently a simple red "W" without a "bear face" atop it.
