Ospreys Wordmark Logo

The North Florida Ospreys have a long and storied history, and their logo has been around since the school's inception in 1972. The original logo featured an osprey perched atop a shield with the words "North Florida" written across it. This design was used until 1992 when a more modern look was adopted featuring an osprey flying over blue water with its wings spread wide open.

Over the years, there have been several updates to this iconic symbol of North Florida athletics, including changing colors from navy blue to green and gold as well as adding additional details like stars or stripes on either side of the bird’s head. In 2009, another update was made that included making some minor adjustments such as giving it sharper edges while still keeping true to its classic style.

Today’s version is much bolder than previous designs; however, all versions represent strength and determination which are two traits synonymous with Ospreys Athletics at UNF (University of North Florida). For decades now fans have proudly worn apparel emblazoned with this powerful symbol showing off their support for one of Jacksonville's most beloved teams!
