Hawks Alternate Logo

The St. Joseph's Hawks have a long and storied history of athletic excellence, with the university boasting numerous NCAA tournament appearances in its illustrious past. But beyond their on-court success, the Hawks are also known for their iconic logos that have become synonymous with the school’s brand over time. Today we’re taking a look at some of those alternate logo designs that have helped to shape St. Joseph’s identity throughout its existence!

The first iteration of an alternate logo for St Joe's came about in 2001 when Nike was hired to design new uniforms and apparel for all Hawk teams across multiple sports programs including basketball, baseball, softball, soccer & lacrosse - each sport has its own unique take on what would become known as “the Hawk's head". This particular version featured a more stylized hawk head complete with wings spread out wide and two eyes staring forward – giving it an intimidating yet regal feel which has since been adopted by many other schools looking to create their own distinct visual identifiers within athletics circles (and beyond).

In 2007 another redesign took place where this time around designers opted away from using any type of bird imagery but instead focused much more heavily on typography as well as adding additional elements such as stars or lightning bolts along either side - creating something truly unique yet still recognizable enough so fans could easily associate it back towards being associated with SJU Athletics overall branding efforts both online & off-line alike!

The most recent update occurred just last year when again Nike was brought on board once again but this time they decided not only to keep intact certain aspects like typography/stars/lightning bolts etc. but also incorporate various colors into the mix so now there were four different versions available depending upon which team you were rooting for: blue/white; black/gold; red/blue; green gold respectively (each one representing one specific program).

While these are just some examples of how far evolution has come since 2001 till the present day – It is clear that even though slight changes may occur every few years here or there due largely part thanks due advances in technology making things easier than ever before while simultaneously allowing us to appreciate how far we've come too! All these combined make up what makes up today's modern-day version(s)of our beloved SJU Hawk Head Logo - sure be around campus anytime soon don't forget to snap a photo showing your pride and support!!
