Seattle Redhawks - NCAA Team Color Codes

Seattle University's intercollegiate varsity athletic teams are known as the Seattle Redhawks. In eleven NCAA basketball tournament appearances, Seattle has eight wins (plus two consolation game victories) (all from 1953 to 1969). Half of the victories came in 1958 when the Chieftains advanced to the championship game against the University of Kentucky at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky. Given the name of the athletic program, you can expect to see a hawk of some kind on the logo. However, the Seattle Redhawks have had a typographic logo since at least 2008. The primary emblem of the team at the time was the lettering "SeattleU" in large letters. With the help of color, the word was divided into two parts. The letters "S" and "U" interlock in the current version. The letter "S" is red, while the letter "U" is black. Both letters are trimmed in black and white.
