Blue Raiders Primary Logo

The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders have been a mainstay in college sports since their inception in 1911. As one of the oldest teams in NCAA Division I, they’ve had plenty of time to develop and refine their team identity - and that includes an iconic logo that has become synonymous with the school.

Originally designed by former student-athlete Jack Farley, the original logo was used from 1927 until 1965 when it was replaced by a more modern version. This classic design featured two blue raiders facing each other with crossed swords on either side - representing strength, courage, and determination for victory! The words “Middle Tennessee State College” were written across the top while “Blue Raiders” appeared at the bottom; both were done up in bold block lettering to create a powerful visual impact.

While this classic look has seen some minor tweaks over its long life span (such as switching out white stars for blue ones) it still remains largely unchanged today – making it instantly recognizable among fans around campus or even those watching from afar! Even after all these years, there is no mistaking who wears those colors: The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders are here to stay!
