Bucknell Bison Emblem

Bison is an ancient mascot of the university, chosen in 1923. Dr. William Bartol suggested using this animal as the main symbol. He justified it by the fact that the college is based in Buffalo Valley. Hence the name of the Bucknell Bison teams, which are part of the Patriot League and participate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I.

To create a unique look for Bucknell Bison, the developers abandoned the old design. After all, in the past, more than 20 university programs used different versions of the logos. Their appearance was uncoordinated, so the teams were not perceived as a whole. Joe Bosack & Co. took on the task of combining all the sports fields. The designers concluded that the words “Bucknell Bison” should be placed in the most prominent place. In the background, they depicted a brown buffalo, which should instill fear in rivals.
