Meaning and history

LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds Logo history

1989 – 1995

The earlier version, which was adopted in 1989, depicted the bird sitting on the letter “B,” which was the initial of the word “Blackbirds.”

1996 – 2007

LIU-Brooklyn Blackbirds Logo-1996

In comparison with it, the bird on the next emblem (1996) looked more like an athletic emblem. She was flying with her wings spread wide, and she was holding the letters “LIU” in her claws.

2008 – 2018

On the current LIU-Brooklyn Blackbirds logo (2008), the bird is depicted almost the same, except that instead of the letters “LIU” there is the full name of the team housed in a parallelepiped.

2019 – Today

LIU Sharks logo
In 2019, the team was renamed to ‘LIU Sharks’. As such, there is now a big ‘LIU’ acronym, made in big turquoise letters. Right below, they placed an image of a shark. It is pretty detailed, and its colors were mainly yellow, turquoise and white.
