Delaware Blue Hens Logo PNG
The designers developed the Delaware Blue Hens logo, which reflects the names of the teams. They depicted a lively and warlike blue hen because these birds are famous for their love of fighting. But the cartoonish style hints that conflict should not be taken seriously because sports competitions are just games.

Meaning and History
The first emblem, adopted in 1939, resembled an advertising sign. She looked like a blue canvas in a decorative frame. Inside was a white chicken with four small chickens. In the upper corner was the inscription “The Blue Hens,” decorated with monograms and curls. In 1955, the team acquired an abstract logo. Designers emphasized the letter “D” to denote the native state of the university. Two colors were chosen for decoration: blue (primary) and yellow (thin outline).
In 1967, the era of the fighting rooster began. At first, he was drawn to his full height, but then they decided to depict only his head. This made it possible to supplement the emblem with other elements: a capital letter “D” (1987-1988), a yellow ring with the inscription “University of Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens” (1999-2008) and the monogram “UD” (since 2009).
