Michigan Wolverines

The Michigan Wolverines logo, a symbol of athletic prowess and academic excellence, is recognized nationwide, carrying with it the spirit of the University of Michigan

Why Maize and Blue

The colors Maize and Blue were officially adopted as the University of Michigan’s colors in 1867. These colors hold deep significance, representing more than just the university’s identity. “Maize” is a dark yellow that reflects the vibrancy and the energy of the University community, while “Blue” denotes stability, depth, and academic integrity. These colors were chosen from ribbons used during university functions in the early days, becoming a symbol of tradition and pride that has endured through the decades.

The Wolverine Mascot

The mascot of the University of Michigan, the Wolverine, brings with it tales of tenacity and mystery. Despite Michigan being known as the Wolverine State, there has been no verified evidence that Wolverines naturally inhabited the state. Various theories exist about the origin of this nickname, ranging from fur trading in Sault Ste. Marie to legends from the Toledo War. The most compelling is that Michigan’s settlers were as fierce and relentless as Wolverines. Michigan’s refusal to adopt a live animal mascot stems from a commitment to maintaining the dignity and symbolism that the Wolverine represents—fierce, fearless, and spirited.
