Tigers Alternate Logo

The Clemson Tigers have a long and storied history, dating back to their founding in 1896. Throughout the years, they’ve had several different logos that have become synonymous with the team. The most famous of these is undoubtedly the orange tiger head logo that has been used since 1970 and which is still used today as an alternate logo. But before this iconic design was adopted by Clemson University, there were other logos associated with the school’s athletic teams over time.

One of these was a circular seal featuring an orange shield with two crossed sabers on top of it and “Clemson College” written around it in black lettering; this seal appeared on some uniforms beginning in 1948 but wasn't widely recognized until 1958 when it became part of all football helmets for home games only during that season (the away helmets featured no logo). Another early identity was known as “Tiger Paw Prints," which featured three paw prints arranged into a triangle shape; this symbol first appeared on uniforms starting from 1959 through 1969 before being replaced by what we now know as our current primary Tiger Head Logo.

Finally, another more recent mark emerged: In 2003-04, following renovations to Memorial Stadium at Death Valley (home field for Clemson Football), university officials decided to incorporate new elements into their branding efforts, including introducing an updated version of one of its oldest symbols - "The Block C." This new version features bolder lines than its predecessor while maintaining enough similarities so fans could recognize its heritage connection yet still feel like something fresh & modernized had been added – thus ensuring continuity between generations who proudly bleed Orange! Today both versions are seen across campus & can be found adorning everything from apparel & merchandise items to signage throughout Death Valley itself – making them equally important pieces within our overall visual identity system here at Clemson University!
