Mavericks Alternate Logo

The Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks are a NCAA Division I hockey team that plays in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference. As with most teams, they have had several logos over the years, each one representing different eras of their history and identity. For sports fans who want to learn more about these alternate logos and what they signify for the University of Nebraska at Omaha's storied program, here is an overview of their logo history.

The first alternate logo used by UNO was introduced in 1982 when it became part of NCAA Division I hockey as an independent member before joining its current conference in 2010. This original design featured a stylized “M” with two crossed swords behind it – symbolizing strength and courage – as well as a shield shape above which read “Nebraska-Omaha” on top and “Mavericks” below it all within red outline lines to represent school colors black & gold (or yellow). The second version came out five years later, featuring similar elements but without any text; instead, three stars were added around the perimeter, signifying excellence achieved or sought after by student-athletes competing under this banner!

In 2002, another redesign occurred, which included updating both sword/shield combo plus adding a white background color while keeping the same overall look intact so people would still recognize them easily even though some minor changes were made, such as replacing traditional font typeface for modern sans serif one along other tweaks like removal from the bottom portion where words Maverick appeared earlier versions making way new tagline: "Go Mavs!" Finally, the last significant alteration happened in 2014 when the university decided to go back to basics, going full circle and returning to the original 1982 design, albeit slightly modified. For example, dropping outlined boxes surrounding lettering to make cleaner, less cluttered images better reflecting today's standards, aesthetics trends, digital media platforms, social networks, etc... All these alterations serve the purpose of highlighting the proud heritage tradition associated with this institution while also providing fresh take brand moving forward into future generations fans alike!
