The Navy Midshipmen logo is concise and understandable in a military way and reflects the united concept of the department, focusing on the name. The star, as a smaller element of the modern emblem, in this concept maintains the team’s commitment to the naval direction of the university.

Meaning and History
The sports division received its logo in 1917, and until then used the general university emblem. The need for it arose with the large-scale expansion of the list of its teams.
What is Navy Midshipmen?
Navy Midshipmen is a group of 33 teams belonging to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Participation in these teams is mandatory for students to develop physical abilities and maintain good physical conditions. The teams compete in NCAA Division I and are members of many sports organizations.
1917 – 1941
The debut version consisted of a gold anchor on a black background with the words “Navy” at the top. It was classic, depicted not schematically, but in detail: with lower side socks, wide paws, a long spindle, a horizontal stem, a bracket, and an eyelet. The rope was completely twisted around him. The title was done in the same color as the anchor.
1942 – today
Gradually, the sports department adopted a modern logo format – minimalistic and understandable. It reflects the faculty’s general concept, so it focuses on the letter “N” with a star on the right side.
