Highlanders Alternate Logo

The NJIT Highlanders are a Division I NCAA collegiate athletic team that competes in the America East Conference. The team has had an alternate logo since its inception in 2006, which is used to represent the school’s spirit and identity. This iconic logo features a shield with two crossed swords behind it and an “NJIT” crest on top of it all.

The original design for this alternate logo was inspired by the history of Scotland, where many of the New Jersey Institute of Technology's founders came from. It symbolizes strength, courage, and honor - values that embody what NJIT stands for as an institution both academically and athletically. Additionally, this emblem also serves as a reminder to players that they are partaking in something bigger than themselves; representing not only their own individual accomplishments but also those who have come before them at the NJIT Highlanders athletics program over generations past.

Overall, the Highlander Alternate Logo has become synonymous with pride among students, alumni, and fans alike throughout its tenure at NJIT. Its unique design pays homage to Scotland while still being uniquely representative of NJ IT; embodying all aspects necessary for successful college sports teams: unity, tradition, and passion. As such it will remain one of the most recognizable symbols associated with any college or university across the nation
