UNO Unveils New Logos at Night with the Mavs
Apr 1, 2011 | General
LaVISTA, Neb. - The UNO athletic department rolled out a new look for its teams at the third annual Night with the Mavericks fundraiser event at the Embassy Suites. UNO unveiled new primary and secondary logos that will be worn by all of its teams as the department begins its reclassification to Division I next fall.
The new primary logo will be an "O" with intertwined red and black elements. The secondary logo is a reimagining of the familiar maverick bull head that has been a a staple of UNO hockey jerseys since the team came into being in 1997.
The crowd of almost 400 people also heard from former Nebraska volleyball coach Terry Pettit who was the keynote speaker. Pettit, a national champion coach with the Huskers, spoke to UNO's future challenges during its reclassification to Division I and encouraged athletic staff members and boosters to work together as a team to ensure the success of the program moving forward.
The Mavericks have been invited to join the Division I Summit League, a move that was approved by the Board of Regents on March 25. UNO will officially join the league on July 1 and play its first full season of competition against current league members beginning in 2012-13.
At the end of the event, student-athletes delivered t-shirts with the new logo to everyone in attendance. A hockey jersey featuring the new logo also was auctioned off, raising $5,000 for scholarships and other program enhancements.
