Meaning and History
Gonzaga Bulldogs use an emblem presented back in 1998. The emblem fully corresponds to the concept of a bulldog. The dog’s head is depicted above, right over the words “Gonzaga University.” It’s a pure expression of aggression and the spirit of rivalry. The predatory snarl, the raised upper lip, sharp fangs, the menacing gaze, and the red collar with metal spikes – all serve to intimidate opponents. The drawing is maximally simple, although the main details are present.
As for the inscription, it occupies a large part of the space. Moreover, both words differ in font and design. The word “Gonzaga” is italicized. Large white letters are outlined by two lines – red and blue. “University” is entirely blue and does not have an italicized form. This allowed focusing on the first word.

Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball Logo
One of the most popular university programs is basketball. The athletes have come a long way to success: they have participated in sixteen NCAA tournaments and even took first place in the rankings based on the results of two polls at the end of the 2012-2013 season. For over fifteen years, the Gonzaga Bulldogs have been playing home matches at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
Gonzaga Bulldogs Football Logo
Gonzaga University is one of the few universities without its own football team. Once, a long time ago, even before World War II, there was one. But following the example of other educational institutions, the administration disbanded it. The last match took place in 1941. That’s where the football program’s history ended – it was decided not to renew it to focus on other sports directions.
Gonzaga Bulldogs Baseball Logo
The Gonzaga Bulldogs baseball team was established in 1890. It currently participates in the West Coast Conference and plays home games at Patterson Baseball Complex and Washington Trust Field. Its list of successes includes four victories in conference championships. The player’s current coach is Mark Machtolf.
