The gladiators except one type (the provocator) did not wear armour. They fought bare chested. The breastplate of the prococator did not have any symbols. One type of gladiator, the thaex, had a stylised griffin on his helmet. The helmet of the hoplomachus sometimes was sometimes plumed with feathers. The helmet of the samnite was also plumed and that of the equite has two feathers.

Were there children gladiators?

No, not as a rule. Gladiators were professional fighters. They were big and heavy and wore heavy armor and padding. They had to be physically mature in order to compete. Children or teenagers do not have the body size as an adult does. However that is not to say that some gladiators did not have training as teenagers, but they would not be allowed into the arena competitions. Besides, on the morbid side, a child would not be strong enough to stab and make a kill even against another child.No, not as a rule. Gladiators were professional fighters.
