The familiar orange block “I” will be used “throughout campus and in outreach to external audiences,” according to the press release.
The column “I,” used by nonathletics at the University since 1997, will be retired.
The Block I is the primary athletics logo. The shield, or “Victory Badge,” is the secondary mark.
