What is RIT Tigers?
RIT Tigers is not a company, but rather the sports teams representing the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in collegiate athletics. They participate in various sports competitions, including hockey, basketball, and soccer.
1976 – 2003
The tiger theme has been very pronounced on the RIT Tigers logo since at least 1976. On the logo introduced in 1976, you could see the side view of the tiger walking to the right. Below, the large letters “R,” “I,” and “T” in black could be seen.
2004 – Today
In 2004, a more dynamic and emotional emblem was introduced. Now, the tiger was walking out of the lettering “RIT Tigers.” Both the old and the current logos share the same color scheme including orange, white, and black.
