A while back, we looked at the Harvard uniform of the early 1980s, which outside the helmet, doesn't look that different from what the Crimson wears now. Here's the immediate predecessor, with a black helmet logo instead of white and a simple jersey that looks more at home in practice. For '77 only, the white outline circling the logo was removed, and I can only guess the Crimson realized that made for a hard-to-see logo, so it was restored in '78.
From photos I've seen, a few helmets from 1975-76 are lacking logos.

The socks are reflective of the times, when many teams wore ones that were either all-white (UConn, Yale, Boston College) or used minimal striping (Maine, UNH, Delaware, Boston U).
