What is Troy Trojans?
Troy Trojans are the name of the college athletic program of the Troy University of Alabama. The program consists of 15 teams in various sports disciplines, both men’s and women’s, and is best known for its men’s football club.
The first logo by Trojans was an image of a knight helmet. It had a black comb and a black-and-white visor. The rest part of the helmet was just gray.
The Troy Trojans logo, designed in 19993, featured a simple yet powerful image of the gray and black metal helmet with some black details on its top parts, resembling Trojan legends. The image was accompanied by a bold “TSU” abbreviation written in dark burgundy under it. The letters were placed arched — with the middle “S” a bit lower than two others. The bold geometric serif inscription had its burgundy character outlined in black.
The redesign of 2004 made the Troy Trojans logo more ornate and complicated. It was a detailed image of the Trojan warrior in gray and burgundy. The warrior was wearing a weaving coat in red, which was accompanied by a gray and red banner with the wordmark on it. The banner was set in gray, with the massive light lettering in bold sans-serif, outlined in dark red. The “Trojans” part was written in white and arched on a burgundy ribbon under the gray stone badge.
The current Troy Trojans logo looks more refined than its predecessor. You can see the letter “T” stylized as a sword. In this way, the designer managed to unite the sword, a symbol of the warrior, and the initial of the name of the teams.
The 2016 Trojans logo is a letter ‘T’, colored in white and gray and styled as an iron sword without a hilt. The letter itself has a black outline.
