The soon-to-be-named American Athletic Conference has a logo to match its patriotic name.
The league that is changing from the Big East Conference to The American unveiled its logo Thursday morning — a blue “A” highlighted by a red star in the middle. The league’s horizontal mark features the word “American” in blue lettering, with a red star dotted over the “i” and the words “Athletic Conference” in a smaller font below.
The graphics had been shown to league administrators and coaches at the conference’s spring meeting last week in Florida. Commissioner Mike Aresco said the conference’s logo and marks were approved at the meetings and media partner ESPN also signed off on the images.
