Eagles Alternate Logo
The Morehead State Eagles have a long and storied history that dates back to the early 1900s. Throughout their time in NCAA Division I athletics, they’ve proudly worn various versions of an eagle logo as part of their team identity. This article will explore the history behind these logos and how they’ve changed over time.
The first version of the Morehead State Eagles logo was introduced in 1929 when they joined what is now known as NCAA Division I sports. It featured a simple black-and-white image of an eagle with its wings spread wide open, representing strength and power. This design remained unchanged for almost 40 years until it was slightly modified in 1968 to include some colorization around the edges, giving it more dimensionality than before.
In 1987, another redesign took place which saw a much larger emphasis placed on creating a modernized look for this iconic symbol; this included changing up both its shape and colors while also adding additional details such as stars along its wingspan or talons gripping onto either side of the shield beneath them – further emphasizing strength within the movement rather than just stillness alone like before! The new version has been used ever since then with minor tweaks here and there throughout each season but overall staying true to form from those original changes made three decades ago today!
In addition to having multiple primary logos over time (with two currently being used), there have also been several alternate designs created by fans or even members within university departments who wanted something different yet still recognizable amongst other schools' marks too - including one featuring only text spelling out “MSU EAGLES" inside an oval shape which debuted during 2010–11 academic year followed shortly after by another featuring both words & graphics together forming into one cohesive whole (which remains popular amongst students/alumni alike).
Overall, regardless if you're looking at any past or present versions - all these different styles represent not only pride from those associated with Morehead State University but also provide insight into how far collegiate sports branding has come since its inception nearly 100 years ago!
