Eagles Wordmark Logo

American Eagle’s wordmark logo is one of the most recognizable symbols in college sports. It has been used to represent American universities and colleges since its introduction in 1971 when it was adopted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The iconic logo features a stylized eagle with wings outstretched, symbolizing strength and power.

The American Eagle Logo was designed by renowned graphic designer Saul Bass for use on NCAA merchandise. Since then, it has become an integral part of many university identities across America — from big state schools like Ohio State University to smaller private institutions such as Princeton University. The design also serves as a reminder that collegiate athletics are about more than just winning; they’re about developing character and leadership skills too!

Over the years, various versions of this classic emblem have been created for specific teams or events within NCAA sports leagues: For example, some variations include different colors or additional text like “Go Big Red!” at Cornell University's football games or “Fight On!" at USC Trojans basketball games. Even though there have been slight changes made over time to reflect modern trends or honor particular teams/events, the overall look remains largely unchanged—a testament to its timelessness and popularity among fans everywhere!
