Meaning and History
The team’s basic logo didn’t change that often. In all cases, it was an attempt to combine the university’s identity with its mascot.
What are the Princeton Tigers?
It is an association of Princeton University sports teams. It ranks in the top 10 among U.S. universities for athletic achievement.
1960 – 1984
The tiger did not become the mascot of the university right away. But already in 1911, two tigers replaced lions presented to the university by its famous alumnus Wilson, who became the president of the United States. The animal got into the team logo even later.
Initially, the colors of the university were chosen: orange and black. They were received from the British Crown, along with the coat of arms, even before the American Revolution. So when the question of the mascot came up, it was the tiger that suited the existing “coloring.” It became the official animal in the second half of the 19th century, although it was not placed on the logo for almost a hundred years.
The first emblem was a large orange polyhedral letter P with a black outline. The element pointed to the city’s name and the university and resembled a tiger only remotely.
1984 – 2004
The 1984 logo was the exact opposite of the previous one. While the first sign emphasized the educational institution, the new sign gave place to animal power and strength. The image featured a real tiger jumping.
The logo looked very belligerent and aggressive. Demonstrated the power and will to win. Only the color scheme was left from the university.
2004 – today
The last modification of the logo finally united the first and the second version, presenting a synthesis of the capital letter of the name, colored in tiger colors. The emblem looks very stylish and original.
Font and Colors
Team logos and athletes’ uniforms are in the traditional colors of the university: orange and black. The hues correspond to the coloring of the tiger fur and fully match the mascot.
- Orange stands for team spirit, mutual support, and friendly communication.
- Black – self-confidence, the ability to defend one’s positions, diligent training.
Bold font with serifs hinting at tiger teeth and claws was chosen for the title P.
