Hawaii Warriors: Brand overview
Meaning and History
The 1982 logo did not do without one of the main symbols of the “Hawaiian Warriors” – a multicolored rainbow. According to legend, it appeared next to the stadium during the final match in 1923. Since then, rumors have circulated that the athletes of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa cannot lose when a rainbow appears in the sky. However, the artists did not depict it entirely, settling for four colors: red, yellow, green, and blue. They also supplemented the composition with the letters “U” and “H.”
The bright emblem lasted until 1997. In 1998, it was replaced by the brand’s brutal name with the letter “H,” which has sharp notches on the outer sides. The drawing traces the motifs of a traditional totem pole. The palette is restrained: green, white, black, and blue. The last two colors are used for outlines, and the first two are the main ones.
