Meaning and history

1968 – 1995

The emblem introduced in 1968 featured a wild cat walking through a large blue “V.” The letter housed the word “Villanova” in white.

1996 – 2003

In 1996, the logo went through a complete overhaul. Although the cat remained the main character, it was depicted in a different way. Now, you could see only the animal’s head and paws with the dark red “V” in the background.

2004 – Today

While the older Villanova Wildcats logo was based on the cat theme, the current one has phased it out completely.

The current Villanova Wildcats logo, which was adopted in 2004, is nothing but a capital “V” in two shades of blue with white trim.
