Cavaliers Alternate Logo
The top of the Cavalier shield now contains the outline of the Rotunda, a well-known campus landmark.
“The Virginia Cavaliers mark is a symbol of strength, character, mystery, integrity, and diversity,” Williams said.
The refreshed color scheme, which includes alternative shades of orange and blue as accents, was inspired by the natural colors visible in a sunset over the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This alternate logo is UVA’s modern take on a coat of arms. Traced from original blueprints, the top of the shield echoes the silhouetted roof of the Rotunda. Below, the hat and sabre embody the fighting spirit of Virginia Athletics.

The face of Virginia Athletics for decades, the Cavalier personifies the excitement and spirit of our program. In this fierce new alternate logo, the Cavalier takes a fighting stance. Hat tipped, the figure is an inclusive symbol, representing all members of the University community – regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, or background.
