Wildcats Primary Logo

The Weber State Wildcats have been a staple in collegiate athletics for over 100 years. Throughout that time, their primary logo has undergone several changes and iterations to reflect the changing times and evolving culture of college sports. Today, we’ll take a look back at the history of this iconic logo and how it has evolved over time.

The original Weber State Wildcats logo was introduced in 1924 when the school first began competing as an intercollegiate athletic program. The design featured two wildcats facing each other with their tails intertwined above them forming a “W” shape - representing both Wildcat pride and WSU initials respectively - along with four stars surrounding them signifying excellence in academics, athletics, leadership & service to community/nation/world beyond what could be achieved on any one field or court alone. This classic design would remain unchanged until 1973 when minor modifications were made to give it a more modern appeal including simplifying some details like stars & tail shapes while adding bolder colors (purple & orange).

In 2004 another update was made which further simplified many elements from previous versions while also introducing new ones such as paw prints below cats symbolizing strength through unity among players; white outline around the entire image creating greater contrast between colors; plus additional text added beneath cats reading “Weber State University Athletics". In 2018 yet another revision occurred where all elements were kept intact but given sharper edges making the overall appearance even more contemporary looking than before! These updates have helped ensure that no matter what era you are living in – past present or future – there will always be something familiar about this timeless emblem that represents not only Wildcat spirit but also academic achievement excellence across generations alike!
