Quakers Alternate Logo

The Penn Quakers are one of the oldest and most successful college sports programs in the country, having been around since 1894. Over the years, they have had a variety of alternate logos that represent their history and traditions. The NCAA has allowed schools to create alternate logos for special occasions such as bowl games or big rivalry matchups, giving fans another way to show their support for their favorite teams. Here’s a look at some of Penn’s most iconic alternate logo designs over the years.

The first iteration was introduced in 1997 when an artist by the name of Chris Palmer created an updated version of Penn's classic shield logo with red wings on either side representing speed and agility. This design became so popular that it remained until 2002 when it was replaced by a more modern take on traditional Quaker imagery - a white shield featuring two crossed swords behind which stood two figures wearing colonial-style hats known as “Quaker caps” – symbolizing courage, strength, and determination.

In 2008 came another update to this look with additional elements including three stars above each sword hilt signifying excellence while also referencing Pennsylvania's official state flag; underlining all these elements were blue ribbons representing loyalty & commitment from both players & fans alike towards making sure every game is won! Finally, 2009 saw yet another evolution which featured bolder colors (red/blue) along with larger lettering spelling out 'Penn' across the top making sure everyone knew who we were cheering for!

In addition to these iconic designs, there have been several other variations released throughout its history but none quite like what emerged during the 2018 season: A sleek black-and-white silhouette depicting Benjamin Franklin himself holding up lightning bolts – paying homage not only to his famous kite experiment but also electricity being used today power our stadiums' lights during night games! It truly is remarkable how much thought goes into creating unique visuals associated with any given school program no matter how long ago they may have started playing competitive athletics...we can't wait to see what comes next year!
