Meaning and history
1996 – 2003
The old Alcorn State Braves logo, which was introduced in 1996, already featured the “A,” which can be also seen on the current emblem. The shade of purple was a bit lighter and brighter than the current one, and the letter was thinner.
2004 – 2016
The 2004 logo already had a bolder “A.” The word “Alcorn,” which replaced the middle bar, grew bolder and larger, too.
2017 – Today
Eventually, in 2017, the shades of purple and gold were slightly altered, as was the type featured on the word “Alcorn.”
