Kermit first gained a collar in June 1962. He wore a minstrel collar in 1962's Tales of the Tinkerdee, though this was orange and cropped with square-points, different from green triangular-pointed collars he would later wear. According to the Henson Company archivist: Kermit sported a double collar for a brief period in the early 1970s, including in the TV special The Frog Prince and several early seasons of Sesame Street, but by the time he took over as the host of The Muppet Show, it changed to the trademark single collar with eleven points that he still wears today.
