Blue Hens Primary Logo

The Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens have a rich history in collegiate sports; their primary logo is a testament to that. The logo, a blue hen with broad wings, has symbolized the university's athletic teams since the 1950s. The blue hen was chosen as the university's mascot because of its reputation for being a fierce and determined fighter, traits the Blue Hens embody on the field.

Over the years, the primary logo has undergone a few changes, but the core elements have remained the same. In the 1970s, the logo was updated to include a more detailed blue hen with a more defined facial expression. This version of the logo became popular among fans and is still used on merchandise and apparel today. In the 1990s, the logo underwent another update, adding the word "Delaware" above the blue hen. This version is now the official primary logo of the university's athletic teams and is proudly displayed on uniforms, banners, and other team merchandise.

The blue hen has become a beloved symbol for Delaware sports fans, representing the university's fierce spirit and determination to win. It is a symbol that unites all Blue Hens fans, from alumni to current students and brings a sense of pride and camaraderie to the community. Whether on the football field, basketball court, or any other sporting event, the primary logo is a constant reminder of the university's rich history and the unwavering support of its loyal fans. As a Blue Hens sports fan, the primary logo inspires and motivates us to cheer our teams to victory.
