Meaning and History

New Mexico Lobos Logo History

The mascot of the university and the department is the wolf, which is translated into Spanish as “lobos”. Although in reality there are two characters (Louie and Lucy), there is only one on the emblem. At the dawn of the opening of the association, athletes used the common logo of the university, since the first team (football) appeared a very long time ago – in 1894. The modern version features a classic hand-drawn style wolf.

At the top of the emblem is the head of a predator, turned in profile. A wild animal grins menacingly, as if it intends to attack at any suitable moment. The withers of the animal consist of sharp zigzags of black, gray and white colors. At the same time, she seems to be reared, which indicates a high emotional stress. Formidable fangs are visible in the open mouth. Under the wolf there is a two-tiered inscription: at the top – the nickname “Lobos”, at the bottom – the territorial designation of the location of the teams “New Mexico”.

In 2009, a new logo was approved. After the redesign, the wolf is in full face. He has a focused gaze directed straight ahead. The mouth is still open, with sharp teeth sticking out of it. The brow was drawn together, the muzzle froze in a frightening grin.

Due to the presence of shadows, the emblem is made in 3D with double border around the edges. The dominant colors are silver, dark cherry (both approved in 1897), white, black, turquoise (used for a limited period). Together they convey the flavor of New Mexico: sunset, the metallic reflection of a winding river and other attractions.
