The University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, has a pretty competitive athletic program including nine women’s teams and eight men’s teams.
Meaning and history
The bull theme has been the most obvious inspiration behind the current South Florida Bulls logo. The emblem features stylized horns of a bull. Their shape reminds the letter “U.” The body of the horns is dark green, and you can see white and gold trim.
In 1997-2002, the university used a different emblem where the bull theme was even more prominent. Here, you could see an angled view of the creature’s head in yellow and black. On the background, there was a green and yellow square with black trim. In comparison with the abstract current emblem, the previous one looked realistic.
The older logo (1982-1996) featured only the name of the university in smaller letters paired with the abbreviation “USF” given in larger letters.
