Meaning and History
Since 1981, a formidable bear with a sprawling mouth has appeared on the emblem of the teams of this university. The bear looks between the words “Belmont” and “Bruins” as if it comes out of the den, making the inscriptions on one side have an arched shape. The image of the beast is contoured, delineated by a thin blue line. The word combination, on the contrary, is distinct, wide, catchy red.
The current version of the logo was adopted in 2003 and represented an aggressive bear that roars, frightening opponents. Blue lines are thickened and form not only the outlines of the animal but also shadows. Under the bear’s head, there is the word “Belmont.” It is written in upper-case font and is complemented by serifs. Even lower is the second part of the name – a miniature inscription “Bruins.” The colors of the emblem are the same – red and blue.
