Owls Alternate Logo
The Kennesaw State Owls have had a long and proud history of athletics, with the school's logo being an integral part of that legacy. The iconic owl head has been used in various forms since the school was founded in 1963, but over time it has evolved to become even more recognizable. Today we’re taking a look back at some of the alternate logos that have graced KSU uniforms throughout its history!
One early iteration featured two owls facing each other while perched atop a shield-like emblem. This version was first seen during their inaugural season as members of NCAA Division II and remained until 1982 when they joined Division I-AA (now FCS). In 1983, this design gave way to another featuring just one owl with its wings spread wide open—an image that would remain unchanged for nearly 20 years!
In 2003, however, Kennesaw State unveiled yet another variation on its classic logo: an updated version featuring two owls sitting side by side on top of what appears to be either clouds or mountains. This new design not only brought about renewed excitement amongst fans but also helped further solidify KSU’s identity within college sports circles nationwide!
While these are arguably some of the most memorable versions from recent memory there were several others before them too; including ones depicting three owls flying together or simply standing tall against different backgrounds like stars or stripes respectively. All told though no matter how many times it gets tweaked and redesigned one thing remains constant—the unmistakable presence and undeniable power behind each incarnation is something that can never be replaced nor forgotten by those who love ‘Owling’ down south here at Kennesaw State University!
