Braves Wordmark Logo

The Alcorn State Braves wordmark logo has a long and proud history in the NCAA. The logo was first unveiled in 1994 when the school changed its name from Alcorn A&M to Alcorn State University. It featured an aggressive-looking Native American brave wearing a headdress with two feathers on either side of his face, with “Alcorn” written across his chest and “Braves” beneath it. This iconic image has been used ever since as the official university symbol for athletics teams at all levels of competition, including Division I basketball and football programs.

The design is intended to represent strength, courage, and honor—qualities that are important in any competitive sport but especially so at the collegiate level where athletes must strive for excellence both on and off the field or court. The colors chosen by designers were also carefully selected; red stands for power while blue signifies loyalty—both essential elements of being part of a team striving toward greatness together as one unit rather than individuals competing against each other alone.

Today this classic look still adorns uniforms worn by players representing their school proudly throughout NCAA tournaments around America each year - whether they're playing basketball or football (or any other sport). As time passes it's likely that more people will come to recognize this timeless emblem not just as an athletic brand but also as something much greater: A symbol steeped deep within a tradition that celebrates those qualities necessary to be successful both individually & collectively alike!
