14 Anas Mahmoud


The University of Louisville’s athletic symbol, chosen sometime after 1913, is a Cardinal.

The Cardinal bird was chosen to give UofL statewide identification, since the Cardinal is the state bird of Kentucky. The school colors — cardinal red and black — were adopted at the suggestion of Mrs. John L. Patterson. In printing terms, the UofL color for red is PMS 485. All of the University of Louisville’s present logos are trade marked.
