As sports fans, we are all familiar with the logos of our favorite teams. We proudly wear them on our hats and jerseys and even tattoo them on our bodies. But have you ever taken a closer look at the alternate logos for your team? These logos may not be as well-known as the primary logos, but they have a rich history and tell a unique story about the team. In this blog post, we will be exploring the alternate team logo history of the Sun Belt Conference.
The Sun Belt Conference was founded in 1976 and is currently made up of 12 member schools. The conference has had its fair share of changes over the years, with teams leaving and joining, but one thing that has remained consistent is the strong sense of identity and pride each team has in their logo.
Let's start with the Appalachian State Mountaineers, whose alternate logo features a fierce-looking black and gold mountain goat. This logo is a nod to the school's location in the Appalachian Mountains and the team's nickname, the Mountaineers. The goat symbolizes strength, agility, and determination, qualities the team embodies on the field.
Next is the Arkansas State Red Wolves, whose alternate logo features a red wolf howling at the moon. This logo was introduced in 2008 and replaced the previous alternate logo, which featured a red wolf head. The new logo was designed to reflect the team's fierce and competitive nature and strong connection to the state of Arkansas.
The Georgia Southern Eagles also have a unique alternate logo, which features a soaring eagle with broad wings. This logo was introduced in 2014 and replaced the previous alternate logo, which featured a more realistic-looking eagle. The new logo is more stylized and modern, with bold lines and vibrant colors, representing the team's strength and determination on the field.
The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns have a rich history and culture reflected in their alternate logo. The logo features a fierce-looking Cajun man wearing a red bandana and holding a pitchfork. This logo was introduced in 2005 and replaced the previous alternate logo, which featured a more cartoonish version of the Cajun man. The new logo is a more realistic and intimidating representation of the team's nickname, the Ragin' Cajuns.
