Bruins Alternate Logo

The UCLA Bruins alternate logo has a long and storied history that dates back to the early days of college sports. The iconic blue bear design is one of the most recognizable logos in all of collegiate athletics, and it has been used by the university since its inception in 1919. From its original iteration as a simple silhouette to modern incarnations featuring detailed artwork, the UCLA Bruins alternate logo has evolved over time while still maintaining an unmistakable connection with its roots.

When originally designed in 1919, the UCLA Bruins’ alternate logo was simply a silhouette drawing of an anthropomorphic bear wearing athletic clothing such as shorts and sneakers. This basic but effective design proved popular among fans for decades before being updated with more intricate artwork during World War II when resources were limited due to rationing efforts at home. This new version featured more detail on both sides of the image including stars around each arm which symbolized victory from battlefronts abroad; this patriotic theme remained until after WWII when it was changed yet again into what we now recognize today: A full-color graphic depicting Bruin mascot Joe Bruin proudly standing atop his beloved campus buildings surrounded by palm trees against a navy blue background sky dotted with white stars representing California’s state flag colors red & gold (or “Old Gold”).

Today's version features updates such as adding shading effects or changing up some elements like Joe's outfit or facial expression but overall remains faithful to its origins while offering subtle changes that keep things fresh without straying too far away from tradition - something any true fan can appreciate! Whether you are looking for vintage nostalgia or modern flair, there is no denying that this classic emblem will always be synonymous with University Of California Los Angeles athletics – Go Bruins!
