Wildcats Alternate Logo

The Arizona Wildcats are a college sports team that has been around since the late 19th century. The school is well known for its iconic logo, which features an A with two wildcats on either side of it. However, the team has also had several alternate logos throughout its history. These alternate logos have served to give fans and supporters something new and exciting to root for each season.

One of the most popular alternate logos was introduced in 1983 when Nike became the official apparel partner of Arizona athletics. This logo featured a cartoon-style Wildcat wearing a red jersey with blue shorts and white sneakers while holding up three fingers in celebration - representing both victories as well as UA’s three NCAA National Championships at that time (1957, 1988 & 1994). This logo was used until 1996 when it was replaced by another version featuring an updated design of two Wildcat heads placed side-by-side instead of one above the other like before; this version lasted until 2002 when it too eventually gave way to yet another rendition - this time depicting just one head but still using similar colors from previous versions such as navy blue accents along with white stars scattered across its face representing UA’s many athletic achievements over past years including multiple Pac 10 titles won during that decades-long period between 1982 through 2008 seasons respectively.

The current iteration seen today first debuted back in 2009 after being designed by Phoenix based graphic artist Mark Boster who wanted his creation “to be more than just an image but rather represent all aspects associated within university spirit – strength determination ambition pride loyalty respect excellence courage unity passion commitment honor integrity tradition innovation knowledge leadership trustworthiness community service dedication perseverance hope vision success friendship family fun adventure creativity exploration joy enthusiasm energy enthusiasm optimism collaboration imagination harmony growth teamwork intelligence curiosity inspiration motivation positivity faith wisdom compassion justice humility grace dignity love kindness humanity mindfulness balance serenity spirituality peace understanding enlightenment insight awareness reverence gratitude appreciation beauty awe wonder joyfulness zest aliveness playfulness liveliness contentment blissful happiness gratefulness." All these elements combined together make up what we now know today simply referred to as “the CatHead Logo." It is no surprise then why so many people continue supporting their beloved Wildcats even after all these years!
