FairLeigh Dickinson Knights
A flame-bladed sword, a nod to the Hackensack River with the initials “FDU” in blue with white trim. The sword is split in half, each colored white and blue to represent the Township of Teaneck and the City of Hackensack. The handle of the sword features a castle-like design, an ode to Iviswold, the castle on FDU`s former campus in Rutherford, N.J., in burgundy and blue with white trim. The font that makes up the tall FDU letters uses straight characters and sharp edges, intended to represent both the iconic roof of the Rothman Center and battle armor. Created by VPCo.
Knights Alternate Logo
As a die-hard fan of the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights, you may be familiar with the team's iconic logo featuring a knight's helmet with "FDU" emblazoned in bold letters. But did you know this is not the only logo the team has used throughout its history? The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights have had several alternate logos, each with a unique story and meaning. This blog post will take a trip down memory lane and explore the history behind the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights' alternate logos.
Let's start with the team's first alternate logo, which was used from 1967 to 1978. This logo featured a knight's helmet with a sword and shield and the words "Fairleigh Dickinson," and the team's founding year, 1942. This logo represents the team's strong, fearless spirit and long history and tradition. It was a fitting logo for a team that was starting to make its mark in the world of college sports.
In 1978, the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights unveiled a new alternate logo that would become synonymous with the team for the next two decades. This logo featured a knight's helmet with a red and white feather plume and the letters "FDU" in bold font. This logo was a modern and sleek update of the previous one, and it perfectly captured the team's competitive and dynamic nature. It also incorporated the team's signature colors, red and white, which remain a brand staple.
In 2000, the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights introduced a new alternate logo, a variation of the previous one. This logo featured a knight's helmet with a gold and white feather plume and the letters "FDU" in a more stylized font. This logo was a nod to the team's success and growth over the years and its commitment to excellence. The addition of gold in the logo also symbolized the team's aspiration to achieve greatness and stand out among its competitors.
In 2014, the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights unveiled their alternate logo, a modern and minimalist take on the team's previous logos. This logo features a simplified knight's helmet with the letters "FDU" in bold font and a slight crest at the top. This logo represents the team's evolution, adaptability, and focus.
