Throughout the previous half a century, the Indiana Hoosiers logo has always featured the interlocked letters “U” and “I.” The style of the monogram has gone through a couple of modifications, though.
Meaning and history
1976 – 1981
On the old logo introduced in 1976, the letters are rather wide. Both of them are red.
1982 – 2001
It was only in 1982 that the glyphs got a black outline. Due to its shape, the logo got some depth. Also, the letters weren’t as bold as on the previous emblem.
2002 – Today
Eventually, in 2002, the Indiana Hoosiers logo went through one more modification. Gone were the black outline and the 3D effect – the emblem was now flat once again. It looked different from the 1976 version, though – thinner, more elongated.
