Rutgers Scarlet Knights Logo PNG
The name the Rutgers Scarlet Knights is used to refer to the over 25 athletic teams representing Rutgers University’s New Brunswick campus.
Meaning and history
1967 – 1972
The brand’s original logo was a red and white image of a knight holding a spear and riding a horse. The knight was sitting on a saddle with a white ‘R’ character.
1972 – 1981
The next logo was a red knight’s helmet image drawn over a white area with red outline.
1981 – 1997
Eventually, in 1981, the brand designers changed the Rutgers’ emblem of knight’s helmet and put an inscription ‘N. J. Rutgers’ as the main logo. It had a red bold typeface with large letters, some of which had elongated tails serving as top lines and bottom lines.
1997 – 2001
Over the last 25 years, the university’s athletic brand identity has evolved from a pretty cluttered emblem to a more minimalistic and cleaner one.
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights logo introduced in 1995 featured a knight in armor. He was holding a sword forming the letter “t” in the word “Rutgers” positioned below.
2001 – 2016
The 2001 logo is a large ‘R’ character colored red.
2016 – Today
In 2004, the university adopted a completely different emblem. Here, there is only the large letter “R.” It looks pretty clean yet absolutely generic, we should mention.
